Malwarebytes for Mac

What's new in Malwarebytes 5.15.1.3151 Jun 6, 2025 Features and improvements: Introduced a more streamlined process for activating your subscription through signing in to your Malwarebytes account. Improved Web protection feature: Added a See activation instructions link under Web Protection in the Real-Time Protection card that links to our help center article for more detailed instructions on activating Web protection. Added a Process column in the Web protection tab under Detection history for more detailed information on blocked processes as a result of accessing a malicious domain or IP address. Clicking on Learn more in Web protection block notifications now redirects you to the Web protection tab within the app. Added two Trusted Advisor recommendations: A reminder for Identity Theft Protection customers to activate their subscription. A prompt encouraging new users to run a free Digital Footprint Scan from the app. Improved the notifications tab so users can clear all notifications and open notifications settings directly from the notifications tab. Issues fixed: Fixed an issue where Web protection would sometimes block internet access when enabled. Fixed an issue where the Connection rules blocking badge link on the VPN page led users to General settings instead of VPN settings page. Fixed animation glitches when opening notifications and navigating between Menu and Notifications tab in the status menu dashboard. Fixed an issue where the red dot next to the Malwarebytes icon would appear even with no active notifications. IP addresses and domains can now be copy-pasted directly from Web protection block notifications. Added missing localizations. Miscellaneous UI bug fixes and UI improvements.

Would you please improve the threat scanning and heuristic analysis and add it, instead of dealing with stupid and pointless "improvements" in your opinion!!!!!

Un logiciel très pratique et fonctionnel, à qui je ne ferait que le reproche de n'autoriser qu'un nombre limité d'activation. Pour un débutant sur mac qui fait quelques bourdes, avec la nécessitée de réinstaller sa machine à plusieurs reprise cela devient embêtant d'avoir à sollicité le site et leurs indulgence afin de vous octroyer une nouvelle possibilité d'utilisation. Je pense que pour un prix aussi élevé une version avec achat unique serait le bienvenue, en ne payant que les mises à jours importantes. C'est d'ailleurs la raison pour laquelle je n'ait pas renouvelé l'abonnement.

Uninstalled. I'm sad to say the free version of Malwarebytes has become too intrusive for me to use. (1) There are no uninstall instructions at the website for version 5. The instructions for version 4 are irrelevant for v5. (2) It nags me to be able to scan websites and collect the pages I visit at that site. That's too much. (3) Their Browser Guard keeps blocking my access to important web pages I use regularly. This may have something to do with surveillance built into the links themselves that are listed in blocking lists used by Malwarebytes. But this too is too much. (4) I'm tired of nags to upgrade. - - I know the fellow who created the app and greatly respect his work. But it appears that corporate attitude toward users has overridden user-friendliness. - - I'm using and paying for another excellent anti-malware app system anyway. So, so long, at least for now. 😔

Latest version 5.6.0 forces a new menubar item on you with no option to turn it off - by design. Some people may want this - I don't. Software developers shouldn't take up valuable menubar space without providing the option to turn it off for those who don't want it.
