    LOL, then perhaps they should make a better AV for the Mac, like M$ did with Win Defender.

    I'm sure glad I'm running Malwarebytes Premium for Mac and not depending just on Apples Security. :thumb:

    But does it ever detect any malware? I'm not questioning its detection rate. I'm just wondering if you ever actually encounter malware. I'm Windows user, and it is exceptionally rare for me to encounter any. Obviously there is a lot more Windows malware than is for Macs.

    I haven't seen any yet since I got my iMac over 5 years now, but you never know what's out there.
