While the company is famous for providing free antivirus software, it's worth noting that this now comes bundled with an anti-malware feature that uses behavioral monitoring to spot rogue programs. Īvast (opens in new tab) offers one of the most competent internet protection suites out there.
APPLE MALWARE PROTECTION FULL
Read our full Malwarebytes Anti-Malware review (opens in new tab). It’s also available free, and along with Anti-Malware, is a great addition to your security toolkit. Last year, Malwarebytes bought Adwcleaner, which – as its name suggests – targets and removes annoying programs that hijack your browser by changing your homepage, resetting your default search engine, or adding unwanted toolbars.

We recommend running it at least once a week to check or any nasties that you haven't noticed, or if you notice that your web browser has suddenly started acting strangely (likely a result of adware).

This has to be activated manually, but is still a top-notch security tool. After two weeks, it reverts to the basic free version.
APPLE MALWARE PROTECTION INSTALL
The first time you install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, you’re given a 14-day trial of the premium edition, which includes preventative tools like real-time scanning and specific protection from ransomware. It’s updated daily, so you can trust it to identify and remove new threats the minute they appear. If you suspect a malware infection, Malwarebytes (opens in new tab) should be your first port of call.
