I wonder why people insist to uninstall (the right way) when it's pretty obvious that the OP is already beyond that point.

If you have already deleted all the malwarebytes package files in your mac (& trash), you will also have to delete the malwarebytes plist files in:

1. Library > LaunchAgents
2. Library > LaunchDaemons

Restart mac. Delete the malwarebytes folder in:
1. Library > Application Support

Empty trash for good measure; just to be sure the demon was exorcised.

Restart mac. You should no longer see the icon of the uninstalled malwarebytes on your status bar.

Follow the directions in CT's post, which was the very first one on this topic. You have to use the uninstaller to remove the software. Dragging the app to the trash does not do the job. If you don't have the disk image containing the installer and uninstaller anymore, go to the Malwarebytes website and download it again, then run the uninstaller.

It is absolutely NOT necessary to restore your system from a backup. That's a quite ludicrous suggestion when the real solution won't take you more than maybe a minute of your time.

Assuming you did NOT uninstall correctly such that you deleted the malwarebytes package under the Applications folder, you might also need to delete any malwarebytes-related files in the following folders:

• Library > Caches
• Library > Preferences
• Library > PreferencePanes
• Library > StartupItems

If you need to download it again to uninstall it, try here.

Sorry. Reinstalling and then following the directions to remove.

Just click on the Malwarebytes icon in your menu bar and select Settings.

In the Settings window select the checkbox "Hide application icon".

That will remove the icon from the menu bar but keep MalwareBytes installed for use as needed.

It means you have other malwarebytes files in other parts of your library. The one in Application Support is deletable but it can be regenerated by its "allies". Delete the other malwarebytes first in other folders (read all suggestions in this thread), then restart before you go back to deleting the malwarebytes files in Application Support.

In the system library > find a folder application support > right click on the folder malware bytes and move to trash , restart the machine and empty the trash .

You've apparently deleted the MalwareBytes application. So download the donation ware Find Any File and search for each of these items with the option Name contains malwarebytes.

Most of them are located where Spotlight can't search. You can drag them from the search results window to the Trash bin in the Dock. You might have to enter your Admin password on some of them.

Check both for good measure. Just only delete the malwarebytes plist files.

Open Malwarebytes Preferences and disable show in menu bar.
