I'm way out of practice here.

What's the best MalwareBytes type free utility for the Mac to try weeding out browser hijackers and stuffs ?

Thanks
 
I've never found anything on any of my macs but here you go nonetheless http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php

edit: I was trying to find you a free online scanner but didn't come across one. There are numerous free apps in the MAS but Avast and Sophos both have free scanners available. I haven't used either of them on OS X so I can't recommend one for you.

virus is not a likely concern but malware via browsers, etc. are still possible
 
Worst thing I have had happen since my first Mac in 08 was my browser has been hijacked a couple times. Worst one was a pseudo crypto locker that was eliminated by resetting browser. I have used Sophos in the past but was never a fan.
