Fortunately, Malwarebytes has released its free Anti-Malware software for Mac OS versions up to and including macOS Sierra, and in today’s tech tip I’ll show how to install and use it. While viruses are still almost nonexistent on Macs, there is a small and growing problem with Mac adware that can take over Safari or Chrome and cause it to redirect searches, ask you to buy unneeded or fake antivirus apps, or just open a lot of pop-up windows.

After uninstalling the app, open the ‘msconfig’ again and disable the Safe Mode.Locate Malwarebytes in the list of apps and uninstall it.Under the Boot tab, select the Safe Boot with minimal settings.In the Windows search bar, type msconfig.exe, and open System Configuration.So you may reboot your system in safe mode and then try uninstalling it. Sometimes you won’t be able to get rid of the Malwarebytes from the Windows normal mode.
