For everyone, got the Malwarebytes premium trial. Downloaded intentional crack file to check, Malwarebytes didn't detected, Sophos did and removed - I agree it can be false positive. So, now I downloaded the eicar test file (look it up it's authentic test file) Malwarebytes didn't detected anything, I even scanned the various eicar test files manually with Malwarebytes. It didn't detected while it should cause it's a eicar malware. Got the Sophos Premium activate again. Downloaded Eicar but within a few seconds it removed eicar test file from downloads folder. Closed Sophos real time protection, downloaded eicar test files.

Malwarebytes for MAC (iOS Devices) Malwarebytes for Mac (iOS)is the only security software which combines spam call blocking, text message filtering, ad blocking, and protection from scam websites in one convenient app. Malwarebytes (was AdwareMedic) helps you get your Mac experience back. Malwarebytes scans for and removes code that degrades system performance or attacks your system. Making your Mac once again your Mac.

Ran scan on downloads folder, Sophos cleaned all the eicar test files. I'm not sponsored by Sophos, I have tested Avast, Malwarebytes, Bit defender, Sophos. All of them in their premium trial versions of 1 month or 14 days. If you're trying to protect yourself from uglier malware such as back doors, key loggers and such, no software can 100% successfully do that. MalwareBytes, more than anything else, watches in the background for ransomware apps that you may install. If it detects an app attempting to encrypt files, it will do what it can to stop the app and shut it down.

Not sure what else it tries to detect from the installed kernel extension. However, the user is their own worst enemy when it comes to virtually all Mac malware. Other than social engineering (such as an email that says you need to unlock your account at some fake site), all known Mac malware are Trojans, which is software you need to download and install. There is no AV software of any kind that can stop you from doing what you're telling your computer to do. They may see the malware after you've installed it, but it's too late then. In other words, don't expect MalwareBytes or any other software save your butt from poor downloading choices.

If illegal software downloads are what you're after (such as a cracked version of Photoshop), you WILL get burned eventually. For everyone, got the Malwarebytes premium trial.
