Did you know that one of the most common ways people download malware onto their Mac is by clicking on what they THINK is an update to flash? Today, I'm going to show you the proper way to do this so that you never fall for this scam.
Need to Download Flash? Here's the legit link:

IF Malwarebytes does detect something, there are a few other settings you should check. Here are the directions for each browser:
Safari:
Go into Preferences and under the GENERAL tab make sure your homepage is a legit page. If it doesn't look correct, try deleting what's there and replace it with something simple (like Google.com).
You should also check the EXTENSIONS tab and make sure it only lists familiar plugins.
Firefox Directions
Go into Preferences and then click on the "Home" button. Make sure the homepage is set to either the default homepage or enter a custom URL.
Next, you'll want to go into the top menu bar to "Tools" and then select "Ad-Ons." Finally, go to "Plugins" and uninstall anything that you don't recognize.
Google Chrome Directions:
Go into Preferences and click on "Manage Search Engines." We really only care about the sites listed at the top of this list, but if you see anything that looks suspicious, you can click the three dots icon to remove it.
Next, go into the top menu bar and under "Window" select "Extensions." Uninstall anything from this list that looks suspicious.
