Increase your protection level
The Malware Removal module does its job, but you can add a lot to your computer’s safety with the following features:
- Real-time monitoring: Resides in the Protection instrument of CleanMyMac Menu, watches all new installations, and warns you if there’s something suspicious.
- Background scanning: A swift anti-malware routine that goes through your Mac’s system and makes sure no malicious item is missed. Runs automatically even if CleanMyMac X Menu is disabled.
Run the Malware Removal module weekly, even if you enabled the real-time monitor and background scans. All together they make up the complete and reliable anti-malware solution.
