![]() If illegal software downloads are what you're after (such as a cracked version of Photoshop), you WILL get burned eventually. In other words, don't expect MalwareBytes or any other software save your butt from poor downloading choices. They may see the malware after you've installed it, but it's too late then. There is no AV software of any kind that can stop you from doing what you're telling your computer to do. 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. However, the user is their own worst enemy when it comes to virtually all Mac malware. Not sure what else it tries to detect from the installed kernel extension. If it detects an app attempting to encrypt files, it will do what it can to stop the app and shut it down. MalwareBytes, more than anything else, watches in the background for ransomware apps that you may install. 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.
