malware protection recommendations

A year or so ago an Apple representative recommended Malwarebytes, free edition, and I've been using it ever since. I'm now considering buying the premium version for our five devices MACs, iPhones, iPad. Does anyone have an opinion about this decision?


I'm running Venture on the Macs 13.0.1 and iOS 16.2 on the iPhones and iPad mini.

Mac mini, macOS 13.0

The best malware protection is to not install malware.

It can't get there on its own. You have to install it.

MalwareBytes, in its early days when it was just the Adware Removal Tool, was useful when people installed Adware. Now it installs a system modification without asking and then begs for money.

If you ignore the advice of the following article and are tricked into installing Adware, use EtreCheck Pro instead.
