CleanMyMac X offers a novel way to clean out potential spyware from a Mac and it should help users deal with one less security threat when cyber-crime is on the rise.… Spybot is different. Conversely, there's plenty of spyware and malware originating from other parts of the world, and these are just as dangerous as any that might be originating from Russia or Belarus. However, it could be a real possibility in the current geopolitical scenario. Of course, just because an app comes from a Russian developer doesn't mean it will have some form of malware. With the current Belarusian regime depending heavily on Russia's support, the developer believes that Belarusian apps and services could be similarly compromised.

Once those apps are listed, users can review and uninstall them individually or en masse.Īccording to CleanMyMac X developer MacPaw, Russian apps could prove to be a problem in the current situation due to Moscow legally forcing all app developers and online services in the country to store user data on Russian servers that can be accessed by the country's government without a court order. Doing so will initiate a scan that will identify apps from Russian and Belarusian developers. After opening the app, select the Uninstaller option from the left sidebar and then select the Suspicious category from the side menu. To get rid of Russian and Belarusian apps on a Mac, download and install the latest version of CleanMyMac X from the official website. The feature allows the program to identify and remove apps originating from Russia and Belarus to protect users from potential cyber threats. To protect users from potential Russian malware, Mac tune-up app CleanMyMac X has added a category called ' Suspicious Apps' to its uninstaller module.

While Kaspersky Lab has been singled out by Western security agencies, many other apps have also come under scrutiny for possible malware infestations that could violate the privacy and security of users. Related: Kaspersky Antivirus Software Alternatives
