Hi Robin

Thanks for the pointer to Howard Oakley.  He seems to have developed a suite of 
utilities for macOS over the last year or so.

Regards
Alan

Hi Alan,

Howard Oakley has very good utilities for dealing with MRT and other macOS 
security updates. You can check them out here.

I won’t try to explain something that he has explained far better than me here

I hope this helps.

Malware Removal Tool - Zoom

[Alan Smith]

Malware Removal Tool (MRT) ver 1.45 was automatically installed by Apple a few 
days ago to resolve an issue with the Zoom app.  It seems that “obsolete” Macs 
do not get the automatic update.  What is the best way to manually download and 
install MRTConfigData 1.45?

My family group has three obsolete Macs - a MBA 2012, iMac late 2012 and iMac 
late 2009 - as well as more recent model Macs.  All the obsolete  Macs had the 
Zoom app installed in the past so probably have the bad local web server still 
installed. 

The last MRT patch installed on the 2009 iMac was ver 1.35 dated June ’18.  
Should all MRTConfigData files from ver 1.35 to 1.45 be installed?

The 2009 iMac has macos High Sierra, all others have macos Mojave.

Cheers
Alan
