If you have recently uninstalled Malwarebytes from your Mac computer, you may have noticed that the Malwarebytes icon still remains at the top of your toolbar. This is because it runs in the background and needs to be fully removed in order to prevent any potential issues. In this guide, we will go over how to completely uninstall and remove Malwarebytes from your Mac computer.
The first step is to go back to the Malwarebytes website and re-download and reinstall the program. Once you have done that, open Malwarebytes and click on “Malwarebytes” at the top left corner and then click “Quit” to close it.
Next, click on the Finder icon to open it up and then click on “Go” at the top and select “Computer.” From there, click on “Macintosh HD” and then type in “Malwarebytes” in the search box. Click on the plus sign and make sure that the first option is set to “name” and the second option is set to “matches.” Then, type in “Malwarebytes” in the box and click on the plus sign again and select “system files” from the dropdown. Make sure it says “are included” and then select everything that it lists. Drag all of these files to the trash and then empty the trash to fully delete it.
After you have deleted all the files, restart your Mac computer. Once it has restarted, you should notice that the Malwarebytes icon is no longer at the top of your toolbar.
