I keep getting this notification: System Extension Blocked
A program tried to load new system extension(s) signed by "Malwarebytes Corporation". If you want to enable these extensions, open Security & Privacy System Preferences.
Not sure what to do. Can anyone help me out?
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)
Hello johnson6264,
Did you go to Security & Privacy in System Preferences? In the General tab, there should be an "Allow" button that will fully install MalwareBytes.
Unfortunately, this is a side effect of Apple's new policy on system extensions.
The only reason it would appear is if you had installed MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for Mac. Do you not remember installing that? Regardless, you don't need it running. You should only ever need the program once. If you install Adware which requires you use MBAM to remove it, you should heed the lesson and not install adware again.
Malwarebytes Corporation is the developer behind the MalwareBytes Anti-Malware application.
If you ever installed Malwarebytes it may be trying to update, and as such make changes and add system extensions.
There's nothing particularly nefarious about it. Its a pretty common application suggested in the forums here by many to clean up malware and other nasties from a Mac.
What is Malwarebytes Corporation?
