Malwarebytes for mac os x el capitan3/12/2024 In the event that you do install malware on the computer, MalwareBytes would be a good place to start in removing it. MalwareBytes is more of a malware removal tool then a malware protection application. Like all Unix-based and Unix-like operating systems, OS X doesn't have virus immunity but the operating system will do a better job of protecting itself over any third party anti-virus or malware protection software. Not saying that viruses do not exist under Unix environments, but they are not likely since they would need to be installed by someone with an admin password and viruses are designed to replicate without human interaction. Unix-based and Unix-like operating systems require an administrative password before being able to modify anything outside of the current user's home directory. The reason why OS X doesn't need third party security software is due to its Unix foundation. This isn't a discussion about the security of open source software versus the security of closed source, proprietary software. Google Chrome is also not open source, it's open source counter part is Chromium. If you are referring to open source software being more susceptible to malware than that is not the case. Both OS X and Windows are closed source and a lot of software that is written for both operating systems are also closed source.
