Security developer Malwarebytes has unveiled
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac 1.0, the company’s first Mac product.
The new app hasn’t been coded from scratch, but is a rebranded (and updated) version of
AdwareMedic, which was acquired by Malwarebytes back in March.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac targets various types of malware, but focuses in particular on adware and other PUPs. Like the
free PC version, this initial release offers no real-time protection.
It’s a simple scan and remove tool, designed to detect various forms of Mac malware and then purge it. The program’s footprint is small, it’s a cinch to use, and it’ll quickly flag up anything that’s sneaked on to your system without you realizing it.
