If the resulting output has a line like this, it was signed by us and hasn't been tampered with:Īuthority=Developer ID Application: Malwarebytes Corporation (GVZRY6KDKR) If you don't know the correct path to the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware app, you can drag it and drop it on the Terminal window… this inserts the path to the app in the command, so you don't have to type it. If that's something you're concerned about, open the Terminal (found in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder) and enter the following command: Technically, it would be possible for a hacker to distribute a modified copy through some other site, with a modified code signature, if you didn't download it directly from us. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac is a codesigned app, which means that any tampering would cause the code signature to fail, and Mac OS X would not allow it to run. Which also makes me ask you: can MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for Mac run alongside Avast Mac Security 2015 without them preventing each other from working correctly ?
I've included a PDF with screenshots of the names of those threats, screenshoted from Avast's report, 1 screenshot per page. But this means my Mac got exposed somehow, which is why I'm trying to make sure everything is OK. I'm also running Avast Mac Security 2015, and I got several warnings in the past, that were apparently blocked by Avast. However I am still wondering about the corruption possibility as mentioned above and I would like to just validate these results. I was also wondering if there are any types of virus such as these on mac ? The kind that can infect your antivirus or spread to all files, then spreading to my Apple Time Capsule for example.Īt the moment Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac reports that it doesn't find anything on my Mac. I'm also wondering if it's possible to have a similar "external" way to scan a Mac for safer results ?
I was wondering if Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac is safe from this kind of situation. The origin of this question is that a while back when I was still a Windows user, it was possible to have your antivirus that got infected and therefore corrupted, that's why we could have some "emergency" floppy disks made to scan at boot for example, in order to ensure a safer scan. I wanted to know if it is possible that MalwareBytes Anti-Malware for Mac could get infected immediately after download or installation, and therefore making it report false or corrupted scan results or just not scan correctly at all. I'm very impressed with your product as well as the Mac blog articles that you have, the majority of which I have read in the recent days.
I have recently been pointed towards your Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac product as I am currently trying to make sure my Mac isn't infected, part of a broader security haul-up I'm currently into.
