I'll second that opinion. A friend of mine just had a very weird problem on his iMac. Malwarebytes found the issue and removed it. All with just a single run, and for free. (Personally, I didn’t even realize that there was Mac malware out there in the wild. I guess it must have been an email Trojan or some such.) Out of curiosity, Malwarebytes didn’t show up anything when run on my own systems, but then I’m not experiencing any malware-related issues.
