Malwarebytes notifications can remind you to run a scan or notify you when there are threats found on your macOS device. When you have an unread notification, a red dot appears on the Malwarebytes icon in your menu bar at the top of your computer screen. If you don't want the red dot to show often, turn off your notifications in the app.
