Malwarebytes - FULL TUTORIAL! BEST Anti-Malware for Mac

Malware on Apple Computers is scarily common these days (and I hope my friends who work for the Big Apple will back me up with that in the comments!).

While Malwarebytes will do 90% of the job when it comes to removing malware, there are a few additional steps you may need to take to prevent your Mac from becoming REINFECTED.

Step 1: In each of your web browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) go into each App's Preferences and make sure your homepage is whatever it should be. If you see any "funky" language, just delete it and replace it with a website you frequent (usually Google, Facebook, YouTube, or a news site). Also be sure to make sure your extensions are clean of any potential malware.

How to Resolve a Hijacked Web Browser
First Force Quit (Command + Option + Esc) your browser and then HOLD DOWN THE SHIFT KEY when you go to reopen it. Even after you have resolved this, I still recommend running Malwarebytes a second time.

My chrome on Mac kept on redirecting to bing(ugh) and the words “hijacked browser” seemed so intimidating. I kept on looking for solutions everywhere until I finally stumbled upon this video! Thanks so much for your clear cut and to the point knowledge!😄😄 It cleaned my Mac desktop up! 🎉

[avrwood]

Been a Mac guy for 15 years but just moved to a New iMac from a 10 year old iMac, this session was very helpful in catching up. Thanks.

[ericvaneck]

Good information! I switched to a Mac a few months ago and your videoes helped me out a lot and I do appreciate all the information you post!!!

[allenschneider]

How would I have any idea what's supposed to be in extensions? I don't even know what it's for, let alone what should be in it.

[adangutierrez]

Thanks for this helpful video. One thing i did as you told download the maleware bytes program ran it restarted it, emptied the trash, went to chrome and set my browser homepage to google and after that the, "mysearch" browser keeps popping up. Any idea?

[techsmac]

your eyes are like virtual...but you are super awesome guy for Mac users like me...love your videos and I recommend your videos to my friends..

[misled]

Hey David, is there a way to find the date you post a video at a glance?

[WilliamKeating]

[claudiaprice]

David. Hi noticed you have a lot of icons in your bottom of your tray but yet your screen is clear of all those items. How do you do that?

[angiepaliga]

Question:can I use this with a virus protection plan I already bought?

[alvinbrown]

Why can't I get Malewarebytes from the Apple App Store? I followed the advice on this video and it worked beautifully with a piece of browser malware that showed up an hour after I saw your video

[nancyo]

Maybe a dumb question but, why isn't Malwarebytes in the Apple App Store?

[pianobar]

[johndambrosio]

Is Malwarebytes still a preferred antivirus software for iMac today ?
