The best thing is it still has a free version. In 2015 Malwarebytes, a software company from California acquired AdwareMedic and rebranded it as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac.

The product was a donationware developed by Thomas Reed. The story of Malwarebytes for Mac started when it was called AdwareMedic. There is also a Windows version, but I have no opinion about it. In this article, I would only cover Malwarebytes for Mac. While I have never found any malware on those occasions, I do know how Malwarebytes works and can help you decide whether you need it or not and whether it is worth paying for.

One thing I learned is that when their tech support suspects a possibility of a virus on your Mac, they usually suggest downloading and running free Malwarebytes. In the past, I contacted Apple multiple times. If you buy through affiliate links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
