MalwareBytes

My MacBook Pro is running very slowly since I completed a scan with MalwareBytes. I performed the scan because I couldn't get rid of yahoo and a scan was recommended on one of these Apple support questions. Scan detected several things that it quarantined and now my MacBook is running super slow. Need some guidance if anyone can provide it. Thanks!

Uninstall Malwarebytes:

Having deleted it all, now uninstall Malwarebytes. Go Here: Malwarebytes Uninstaller - Malwarebytes. Report back if that fixes all of this.

About Uninstallers:

You’d find the uninstaller on the developer’s site. Just dragging-and-dropping an application to the Trash will leave temporary files laying about your Mac.


Typically, you use uninstallers on Security Software and other common high-end, common applications like Microsoft Office. So, always use one, if required, when uninstalling applications.
