I have now had a chance to study the security update to Apple’s Malware Removal Tool, bringing it to version 1.35, which was pushed earlier this week.

R/mac: A community for all things relating to Apple's Macintosh line of computers. Feb 22, 2018 Hi! The last days I've noticed how every time I start Safari everything freezes (finder included) for a couple minutes. Then I can write something in the search bar, and then it.
Looking at the strings therein, this appears to add the ability to remove two new types of malware:
I previously reported that 1.35 added support for two new types of malware, which were in fact already supported in previous versions. These are:
The previous version of MRT, 1.32, was pushed as a silent update on 23 April. Versions 1.33 and 1.34 don’t appear to have been generally released, making this the first public update in nearly two months.
The last update to XProtect’s configuration data, version 2099, was pushed on 13 March, making it likely that it will be updated in the coming few days.
I have updated my complete listing of malware which MRT and XProtect protects your Mac from.

Hi!

The last days I've noticed how every time I start Safari everything freezes (finder included) for a couple minutes. Then I can write something in the search bar, and then it freezes another time! The only weird thing that I've noticed is that my antivirus (Avast), every time I boot my mac, shows an alert saying that he found a BitCoinMiner in /System/Library/CoreServices/MRT.app/Contents/frameworks.
I need help!
I know that these aren't many information, but I really don't know what's happening! Just ask for some Console Logs, or something like that, if you think that could be useful.
Thank you!
