If you are using OS 10.9 or later, download this program which was written by Thomas Reed, a long time poster. The program will do the work for you which makes it easy.


Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac 10.9 and later


What should I do if Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac didn't solve my problem?
