Dear MacUpdate Users, 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. 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. Especially when that 'expert' is claiming (it actually sounds like boasting) that his 300+ clients are averaging 5 infections PER MONTH. 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. A 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. 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. This is beyond irresponsible -- it is appalling. For that kind of money, you should not be getting ANY infections. That's the point of 'real-time' scanning, and why you pay a premium (in money and performance) for it. Also, please, be skeptical of reviewers who make silly, boastful claims that can't be substantiated. This is something akin to what Malwarebytes does with it says that it 'crushes the latest threats' and other hyped-up nonsense. * * * 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. It leaves bits and pieces of Malwarebytes junk all over the place. This is beyond inexcusable -- it's disgraceful.-SBP.S. And by the way, 'Hanspoot,' I don't get money from any AV vendors as you insinuate in one of your snarky comments below. I don't actually recommend ClamXAV though I do subscribe. The Intego VirusBarrier Scanner works just as well as an on-demand scanner -- and it's free.And I actually do use and recommend the older 'Malwarebytes Anti-Malware' program (v.1.3.1.628) It still works very well, much as it did when Thomas Reed originally developed it -- a tight, light, free scanner for active infections -- before Malwarebytes (the company) turned it into a bloated piece of expensive corporate crapware.

Adware Removal Tool For Mac
Unfortunately you need OS X 10.7 (Lion) or above to use AdMedic or it's successor today AdwareMedic. Best bet today for Snow Leopard users would be to use the older Adware Removal Tool from the same author, but he's not planning to update it in the future. Since Mac OS is a very secure operating system, cybercriminals deceive users into downloading viruses, adware and in some recent cases even Ransomware. Social engineering using adware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) is the most common way for a Mac OS system to get infected.
