However, adware can unknowingly get onto your Mac in the form of a toolbar that often comes bundled with certain freeware and hijacks the browser. This usually happens when the users visit illegal downloading and warez sites perhaps to download cracked content, including applications and games. I would ask again: what specifically is the problem you're having that you believe quitting any Malwarebytes background processes will solve? Are you seeing performance issues, and if so have you traced those issues to such a process? If so, I'd like to have more information.There are times when your Mac gets infected with malware, spyware, adware, and pop-up ads. Even App Store apps have the capability these days to run processes automatically in the background at login. Many apps have processes that run periodically in the background to check for updates (like Malwarebytes' background process does) or do other kinds of tasks. I would suggest that, unless you're a very atypical case, you have apps that do have background processes running, but you simply aren't aware of it because they're not showing menu bar icons or other such indicators. Other apps do not do this! STIP ACTING LIKE IT’S NORMAL! It’s not normal and it’s not okay.
