Malwarebytes incompatible with OS 1015.5?

I've just done a software update to 10.15.5 and received a message that a system extension for Malwarebytes will be incompatible with a future version of MacOS. How do I delete it? Trying to trash it only creates a copy:( Thanks in advance.

MalwareBytes is aware of it, and are already working on a version that will work in macOS 10.16.

That's a general warning the OS is giving to all users who have any kind of third party kernel extension installed.


The next major release of macOS will not allow third party kernel extensions. It's just warning that any third party software you're using that installs such extensions will not work in 10.16.


All vendors who now user kernel extensions will have to use a different method to load items at startup.

The message should have mentioned the name of the vendor the extension is from. But in short, all third party extensions are in the following location, along with ten default extensions installed with the OS.


/Library/Extensions


For now, you don't need to do anything.
