[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 1091151, member: 83059"] I don't know if it's better, other than I like that MalwareBytes is easier to use as just an on-demand scanner. The sad (or good?) thing is right now there's really very few samples for in-the-wild macOS malware to even test two products. If your goal is to occasionally sweep a Mac for malware like the way you'd use NPE or HMP on a PC, I'd still go with MalwareBytes. But if you want an antimalware that has decent cross-detection of Windows and Linux malware, go for BitDefender. Personally when I tried to use BitDefender's product, it was pretty intrusive, insisting on installing network filtering and system extensions. [/QUOTE]
