I don't actually recommend ClamXAV though I do subscribe. And by the way, 'Hanspoot,' I don't get money from any AV vendors as you insinuate in one of your snarky comments below. This is beyond inexcusable - it's disgraceful. It leaves bits and pieces of Malwarebytes junk all over the place. Now, if you want to see a useful review, scroll down to 'Jimw's' comments on May 17, 2019, where he points out that not only does Malwarebytes cause instabilities (inexcusable in and of itself), but its so-called 'uninstaller' doesn't actually uninstall everything like it should. This is something akin to what Malwarebytes does with it says that it 'crushes the latest threats' and other hyped-up nonsense. That's the point of 'real-time' scanning, and why you pay a premium (in money and performance) for it.Īlso, please, be skeptical of reviewers who make silly, boastful claims that can't be substantiated. This is beyond irresponsible - it is appalling.įor that kind of money, you should not be getting ANY infections. You especially want to avoid a consultant who allows you to get 5 infections per month while using a 'real-time' scanner like the paid subscription version of Malwarebytes.

My friends, if you are averaging 5 infections per month, while you pay both a Mac consultant, and also for anti-malware software, your Mac consultant is not only incompetent but irresponsible.Ī properly protected Mac, with a properly trained user (and a reputable Mac consultant should be a *teacher* for his or her clients, rather than leaving them uneducated and vulnerable in order to suck money out of them) should not get 5 infections in A YEAR. I would also say that quickie, one-liner 5-star reviews by people who purport to be Mac malware experts (I'm referring to 'Hanspoot' just below) with 'over 300' clients are EXCEPTIONALLY worthless.Įspecially when that 'expert' is claiming (it actually sounds like boasting) that his 300+ clients are averaging 5 infections PER MONTH. I have stated this before on MacUpdate but, since some people didn't get the memo, I'll say it again: Quickie, one-liner 5-star reviews on this site are WORTHLESS.
