    Malwarebytes

    Some years ago, due a security concern at the time, I installed the paid version of Malwarebytes (MB) and have kept it up each year. I'm trying to decide on renewal. My older laptop is starting to show some reduced battery performance, although it's still rated as "normal," and I may have...

    Hit by dylib hijack virus...

    Update: I just flashed macOS to a USB thumb drive. The red box around the Apple logo still appeared. That rules out SSD issues. This is largely to keep others on their toes and provide information, but I do have questions. These are at the end. I am also attaching two EtreCheck reports, one...

    Malwarebytes Scan

    after installing Malwarebytes, updating database, then scanning afterward (twice), I reviewed the related log file. The log files show my two attempts to scan laptop, which is correct. The logs didn't show any time lapsed for the search. Why didn't anytime lapse? I don't think it scanned...
