Restart while holding down Command-R to boot into macOS Recovery.Ģ. Third Approach: Disable MRT.app by removing executable permissionsġ. (Put a sticky on your screen to remind you to re-enable this when Apple has resolved the problem.) Immediately after restarting to your normal desktop, if you use El Capitan open System Preferences > App Store and uncheck "Install system data files and security updates." In other Mac OS versions you may need to do this in the Software Update pane. VERY IMPORTANT: without this step the OS will reinstall MRT with the current version within hours. Copy old version of MRT.app to the system:Ĭp /path/to/old/version/MRT.app /Volumes/YourBootDrive/System/Library/CoreServices/MRT.appġ0. Rm -fR /Volumes/YourBootDrive/System/Library/CoreServices/MRT.appħ. Exit Disk Utility and return to the terminal. Find your boot drive in the list and unlock and mount it if necessary.Ħ. Start Terminal from the Utilities menu.ĥ. Restart while holding down Command-R to boot into macOS Recovery.ģ. Obtain an older version of MRT.app from Time Machine or another backup. Second Approach: Replace MRT.app 1.68 with a previous versionġ. When Apple fixes the problem, you can simply uncheck the box and the new version of MRT can do it's job. If this works for you, nothing else is needed. Install and in App Tamer's interface find MRT and check the box to "Stop this app completely." One requires installing another utility (App Tamer), and the other two require some command line wizardry. Three approaches have been successful for me in stopping the rampant CPU use by MRT.app. In building this guide, I've borrowed liberally from others posts. Much thanks to hoakley at and others who have contributed to several solutions that have worked for me. I've been following the comments here, as this is one of the few places on the Internet where MRT 1.68 problems are being discussed. There is a long list of people reporting the same problem e.g. I sincerely hope Apple is going to fix it and not leave Sierra out just because it is outdated and doesn't receive updates anymore. My machine is Macbook PRO 2010 with Sierra and was running perfectly fine until this MRT update. I do not want to do frankenstein method by deleting the file or renaming it, since that's not the right way of doing things. I do not have a backup to restore from because I am right now travelling and do not have access to fast internet or to my time machine. I installed Malwarebytes to run test on my machine and it didn't find anything. I uninstalled ESET and MRT is still using the CPU 100%. I have ESET Antivirus running and no infection reported. The fan is running hot and my machine slowed down to crawl as result of MRT. I have submitted the bug report multiple times and didn't get any answer yet.

Whew, they've changed pastebin & made it harder, but after pasting in, click Create new paste button, then Embed button, then copy the URL. Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there… It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.
