#MALWAREBYTES FOR MAC FREEZES HOW TO#

The first five runs are free.Īn alternative explanation how to install, run and report output for the EtreCheck Application by the author.

drag the app to the application folder if you wish.

The download link is at the bottom of the screen Experienced users have found the reported information useful I provide three techniques for diagnosing the problem. If I stayed in the same application, it almost all run perfectly smooth. It was very clear that the freeze happens whenever I do an action (switch app, open run, delete a file, type admin pw, etc). I also did a safe-boot and ran disk-utility health-aid and it did so without reporting any problems. This is not the case when I have concurrent freezes. I pretty much always run Activity monitor on the side to see if my CPU starts spinning up like crazy by some app. I checked unsigned files, which are mainly developer tools I use.

I removed something that might've been adware. I did the etrescan and although beachballing is not the right description, I thought it most closely resembled the behaviour. How can I proceed to find the root cause of these freezes? I will try a reboot later, but in the past, the first-aid was unable to find any faults. I tried running First-aid on the data-disk but it's unable to unmount. I'm not sure, but the freezes somehow feel faulty to the hard-drive. MacOS and apps all run on the primary SSD disk. Most of my data, documents, videos, images, etc are on this second hard-drive. I run Mojave 10.14.6 and own a Macbook Pro 15' mid-2012 in which the primary drive is an SSD and I replaced the DVD-drive with a 7200 rpm Hitachi. The music does keep playing (buffer?) but does not respond to commands, nothing does. The freeze is not a typical rainbow-ball-freeze, but literally, the screen is frozen.

This especially happens when I switch between apps and when I perform certain actions such as trying to reboot, switch a tab in chrome, etc.

I have no idea of how to get rid of that pop-up (it is not in Safari), so I guess I will just live with it, declining the update opportunity, and keep following the suggestions of OT using yet a new app downloaded at OT's suggestion 'Find Any File' to clear any file found containing the name 'malwarebytes.'At random points during the day (but not every day), when I've been working quite a bit, MacOs gives me continual freezes for 10-15 sec.

#MALWAREBYTES FOR MAC FREEZES INSTALL#

About the only thing I am getting now is a pop-up menu asking me to again install new and improved version of malwarebytes. Again, thanks for all the help and suggestions. But as John Galt noted, sometimes it is far harder to get rid of an app then to download it. So after that I wanted to get rid of the malwarebytes app, since it only lasts for 30 days without an annual subscription, anyway. It didn't work and subsequently I found an on-line video with step by step instructions clearing out various folders and files that worked great. I installed it per a suggestion of an apple support staff to get rid of what she thought was malware. Right click on these items inside the folders and move to trash.
