A few years back I stop at a Apple store in my city and I ask a Apple customer service if he or she can help me and I want to go to a correct site to get a Malware and how can I get it onto my Apple computer. I don't trust finding it on a website and I want to go and talk to a Apple customer service in my city if he or she can help me solve this problem I'm having. I know their is a 'Malwarebytes Anti-Malware' that you can put in your Apple computer. I don't trust certain sites that you can download a free Anti-Malware and I only trust Apple and that is why I want to go to a Apple store and talk to a customer service who can give me the correct answer.

Update to May 7 Post 2019. Against my comfort zone, I did after much searching into my own system and speaking three times to support; loaded Malware Bytes Latest Version, could not print off the Quarantine list of threats , ( just Curios as to what to look for). Still not sure were it goes from hear , except if I dump the program are they coming back ,( or New Ones ) .

A wise man once told me a story about the turning of the tail on the hat. So we-are in an ever changing age, completely vulnerable to outside intention, to Intervention, by way of Invention?
