running malwarebytes (automated) on Mac

malwarebytes is free for mac but it doesn’t come with real-time protection like the paid for version in windows. it should be enough to run once if you had been on the web, downloading stuff, and installing them. but come to think of it, it’s best to run a schedule to update and scan your mac. not doing so is as good as not realising the danger lurking in your mac.

the links below provides the answers you need, either using automator to schedule your scan or even better with apple scripts:
