I have no idea of how to get rid of that pop-up (it is not in Safari), so I guess I will just live with it, declining the update opportunity, and keep following the suggestions of OT using yet a new app downloaded at OT's suggestion 'Find Any File' to clear any file found containing the name 'malwarebytes. About the only thing I am getting now is a pop-up menu asking me to again install new and improved version of malwarebytes. Again, thanks for all the help and suggestions. But as John Galt noted, sometimes it is far harder to get rid of an app then to download it. So after that I wanted to get rid of the malwarebytes app, since it only lasts for 30 days without an annual subscription, anyway. Once it is downloaded, double-click on the iExplore.exe icon in order to automatically attempt to stop any processes associated with Search Redirect and other malware. This may be a situation where the app didn't install properly and just needs to be reinstalled or there may be an issue with your Mac's drive that is preventing Malwarebytes from being able to access the portion of the drive that this item may be residing in. It didn't work and subsequently I found an on-line video with step by step instructions clearing out various folders and files that worked great. I suggest that you contact Malwarebytes support directly. I installed it per a suggestion of an apple support staff to get rid of what she thought was malware. Right click on these items inside the folders and move to trash. Preferences > Īfter update the new files that are found in system library. To enter in user library > click on Go > Go to folder & type ~/Libraryįind folders : Application support > MalwarebytesĬom.malwarebytes.Malwarebytes-xpc- service To enter in system library > click on Go > Go to folder & type /Libraryįind folders : Launch Daemons >

Ĭlick on finder > Applications > right click on Malwarebytes Anti - Malware.app & move to trash, if it is in download folder, remove it from there also. For free version of Malwarebytes Anti -Malware for Mac.
