Version: 4.20.7.5022
v4.21.9 is out. --> NOTE: Malwarebytes is NOT JUST an adware removal tool. As such, the one line description here at MU is currently WRONG. The early version of the app was indeed an adware removal tool. But NOW its scope is ALL current MALWARE of any known kind. Read through the OVERVIEW above for details. It's far faster than other anti-malware apps in that it checks all the infection locations of known malware on Macs. It does not scan every bit and byte on your drive. As such, it's more efficient in scanning speed. I personally use it as a supplemental scanner, with Intego VirusBarrier as my general anti-malware scanner.

If you have version 4.17.8, it's the same thing as "4.17.18.4831". IOW, you're up-to-date. Verify by running "Check for updates...".
