Use of MalwareBytes for Mac

This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac. This software has been created by Long Time Users of these Forums. So, that makes it reliable for Macs.

I wish I paid more attention to the " warning " issued to me . I was on what I belive was the actual Apple site and suddenly a pop up appeared that said " you have three malwares on your computer , click here to see " . Or close to that . I did not click , but backed out of that page and opened the Apple site again . No such warning this second time . I am mystified.
