They make good hardware which is why I gratefully use this Macbook and spent many years with an iPhone in my hand. That last sentence hints at the fact that for me, Apple is not my diehard standard champion. Polaris also runs on my Android phone with grace and aplomb. There might have been adware sneaking in their back door, but none I'm aware of or even have experienced. In the case of Polaris, it has been quite useful and without (known) issues technical or adware-wise (not to say they couldn't improve their design. I need a professional suite (meaning designed for professional use–––one earmark of which is the software's ability to get at a solution from more than one sequence). I appreciate your suggestion at Apple's software suite. I know decision makers at Malwarebytes to be wary of opening any door (over-ride) that may make problems for you and your colleagues. However, I would have additionally provided an over-ride option for users, who for whatever reason, needed to use a particular application.

Given Malwarebyte's mission and what your research turned up, I would have made that same management decision.

Adware installers, especially loaded without user knowledge is shady indeed.

Hey Thomas, Thanks for your putting time to investigate.
