Re: Mac Os Versions High Sierra
Chara Fiebig
Hello. Is there anywhere I can download older versions of Scaler 2 that may be compatible with my Mac? I recently bought from plugin boutique with high hopes, but when installing this version was greyed out. It is currently at V2.7. I am not sure what would work with my Mac operating on High Sierra. Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks so much! That does seem to be the problem is how it is loaded as an instrument. I was attempting to use its auto-detect software, which I thought could be used as a plugin in reason, in order to detect the key of a sample I was going to use in Mimic, but loading it as an instrument definitely works. Now if I could just get it to register my license key without crashing.
I updated Alfred from a previous version 5 to 5.0.5 on High Sierra (I'm stuck with it as my MacBook is not compatible with higher ones). Now, when I launch it, it says to me that it's not compatible with High Sierra.
But it was working when I migrated from version 4 to version 5 and also when I updated it with all patch versions up to 5.0.5. I did have a warning when I migrated from 4 to 5 saying that some functionalities won't be available with High Sierra, but it was working with my daily flow.
Alfred 5 was never intended to be used on High Sierra, as this version uses certain features and APIs only available from macOS 10.14 and onwards. One example of this is the graphics framework which the new Workflow Editor is built upon. As such, running on an older version of macOS is not possible, and this has now been made more explicit.
Alfred 4 works great on High Sierra, you can download here:
As for other detection functionality, we will be working on other improvements and new features, but don't try to make comparisons between Malwarebytes for Windows and Malwarebytes for Mac. Each of our apps is tailored to the platform and the threats on each platform, and often features that make sense or are a high priority on one platform do not make sense or are lower priority on another platform. I do not ever expect to see total feature parity between Malwarebytes for Windows, for Mac and for Android, since each platform - and the threat landscape on each platform - is so different.
Well, to be perfectly honest, you should never assume that the sender hasn't been compromised or careless with security, and anyone operating under the assumption that you (as a sender) are only sending clean files is ripe for infection. Maybe someone sends something spoofing your e-mail address, or maybe you send something bad accidentally.
Most Mac anti-virus is either bad at detecting Windows malware, or it's really good at detecting Windows malware but not so great at detecting Mac malware. And most Windows anti-virus software doesn't detect Mac malware at all. So it's always wise for each and every endpoint to have protection that is suitable for that platform, and not to rely on the safety of anything sent from any other system.
It would be interesting to implement protection from harmful web sites (not just phishing but all kinds of web threats) that should, like in windows, block the opening of the site with a web page with your logo, protection against threats Still unknown (as though I'm not mistaken already there in windows) and cover all kinds of existing threats in macOS (ramsomware, malware, exploits, etc.) and also the ability to do custom disk scans (not just the system disk But also an external pendrive or hdd (excluding time machine disks) with the ability to scan all the disk files (both in external and internal drives).
Is it already possible to implement it in version 3.1 for high sierra?
thank you

Certainly a user could end up on a phishing site and give away privacy information or download malware, but Safari already subscribes to Google SafeBrowsing which protects agains known malicious sites as long as the user doesn't disable it. Obviously Google Chrome does the same.
Anti-everything protection is not needed, but a full-fledged protection can be desirable even at the web level without worsening the performance of the mac.
Apart from the fact that the Windows version does not slow down so much the pc, even less, in my opinion, would happen with the mac that is a much better performing machine
We do want to provide some web protection, as in the Windows product, as an option for those who want it. The goal - unlike in Windows where users are targeted by exploits on websites - would be simply to keep Mac users from visiting known-bad sites that push bad installers or tech support scam pop-ups. However, we can only do so much at one time.
Also, on Macs, full disk scans and scans of external volumes are more "feels good" features. With the kind of real-time protection we've got in place now, those don't really solve significant real-world problems at this time. That's not to say we won't consider it in the future, of course... it's just that we'd rather target features that will have a greater positive security impact.
Protect from harmful websites and scanners harmful elements (so it's called in MS-Windows) with disk selection and for the moment it would be almost perfect for MacOS version. (Obviously protecting against malware, ransomware, viruses, pup, etc.)
Such a Security Product is not usable we buy 20 Licenses (ok not so much), normally we need more than 1000 but fort testing ok)
hole test end after our developers must use developer Versions of High Sierra we also develop our mac apps and believe me our apps
all running since a few weeks in all High Sierra beta since we make them compatible.
Most maybe any AV Software is HS ready or have Beta for testing, that are security products they have to start developing own products
at apple give the first developer beta out. Such developer beta is not for testing for Users that Betas are give away that all developers that
want bring their products to next OS can do that.
As for specific aspects of the scanning of the Windows engine, not all of those make sense on the Mac, so don't expect to ever see complete feature parity there. After all, to give just one example, there is no registry on the Mac, so scanning the registry isn't even a possibility on the Mac. Our scanning solutions are tailored to the platform and the nature of the threats on that platform.
equal to the Windows version no, protection not only against malware and more in-depth scanning with the selection of places to scan are desirable; I hope the sooner the web protection mentioned will arrive
thank you

Web protection is already provided in most browsers by Google SafeBrowsing. There hasn't been a serious threat in that area since Flashback in the Spring of 2012. Current solutions (e.g. BitDefender TrafficLight, McAfee Site Advisor, WOT) have prevented me from visiting more legitimate sites than malicious ones. The most recent being the Equifax Security site.
I disagree with it
Scanning to protect against any kind of malicious software is paramount.
The selection of the area to be scanned also allows you to scan a disc drive or a pendrive.
In-depth scanning as a possible choice, not mandatory, allows anyone who wants to protect the entire system; if alvarnell does not want to be totally protected is free to do so.
Google SafeBrowsing is not omnipotent, a better security without breaking down its performance (windows does not have any performance crashes, I do not see why it should happen in macOS) is only positive.
Equifax second blog.malwarebytes.com was also violated ( -aftermath-how-to-protect-against-identity-theft/)
Many times with scans searching for malicious software unknown, new issues have been discovered and this has allowed, without locking the machine, to save the data of multiple users.
Who knew, for example, Not-Petya or Wannacry before the global epidemic exploded?
Thank you

I've been using Macs for over twenty years now and the first piece of A-V software I used was a freeware application called AntiVirus. It did a great job back then, fast and accurate. Today I have BItDefender, ClamXAV, Dr. Web Light, Little Snitch, MacScan 2 Malwarebytes (both versions), Sophos, Virus Barrier Express and most all of the tools from Objective-See installed on my computer. Background processes have been disabled on most of them since they often conflict with each other. They are only there for testing purposes, mostly when I run across some newly discovered malware to see which ones' are capable of detecting. In all those twenty years, none of these scanners have ever found a single infection by malware that I wasn't already aware of (I have samples of most current malware tucked away in a safe place on my computer).
Occasionally, when I know I won't be needing my computer for awhile, I'll allow one of these scanners to inspect my boot drive and walk away for a few hours as I know it won't be usable during that time. But Malwarebytes for Mac (and all it's predecessors) are different in that I can run it any time I want to, continue to use my computer and in less than three minutes be confident that I'm free of all recent, currently known malware. It can do this because it only looks for known malware in places where it's known to exist. I believe it to currently be the most efficient such software available today which is why it's so highly recommended. I would hate to see that reputation change by loading it up with a lot of features that failed to provide measurable value added.
Mac's unacceptable slowness I've never experienced with any antivirus I've tried (even with the bitdefender deep system scan)
In windows I regularly use the pc while scanning harmful elements and even when doing the complete file system without any slowdown
Aside from currently scanning the mac with malwarebytes lasts 10 seconds and not 3 minutes, I do not ask for a compulsory scan of the entire file system and a bit more thorough scan in general (such as scanning Windows bad elements that does not make every single file but it is a bit more in-depth than the current mac) but the chance to do it (each one then is free to choose the super fast scan or the slowest but most in-depth scan)
summing
I propose to leave the product with the functions it has (apart from still missing the Italian and other languages)
in addition
add a more thorough scan
Add the ability to scan external disks and pendrive
Additional Websites protection (add to Google SafeBrowsing) with the ability to block certain types of content (phishing, weapons, drugs, gambling, sex, pedophilia (this block should not be mandatory but by choice)) and ad -blocking during navigation
