This tool is best known for its anti-virus capabilities and malware scanning, with the ability to detect and treat both Mac and Windows infections.
ClamXavĬlamXav is another highly recommended tool, that is specialized on cleaning Mac OS X malware and other type of infections. Mostly because this is not a very complicated tool, it updates itself regularly and because of the easy to identify and fix process, I, among others, deem Malwarebytes as the first weapon at hand when beating infections. The clean smart interface simplifies the scanning process, which by the way takes just ten minutes or so for regular users, and the resource consumption can be seen as gentle touch on the hardware itself. When it comes to features, Malwarebytes has been proven in battles against adware (ever heard of Genieo, VSearch or Vidx?), malware and trojans.
I highly recommend this tool for users that want a simple, easy-to-use interface that gets things done on the spot. I have some pretty encouraging memories with this tool, be it on Windows or Mac OS X, and I must confess that it has saved the day with ease, from various situations.
