Reviewed on 2/3/2021
Great malware software that does take tons of resources or slow down my computer.
Pros
This product is great for being able to find and delete any malware that might be on your computer. It has passive mode and that is awesome. It has found and fixed some nasty stuff. The free version does so much it is great!
Cons
The pain in the butt on these is if you are mining cryptocurrency they will see it as harmful and then you have to allow it all and it is a bit of a pain though it is doing it's job.

Best antivirus on the market
Reviewed on 13/9/2019
My client ask me to recommend an antivirus product, and I always suggest Malwarebytes because I know it will be easy for them to use and understand, and it wont slow their machine down.
Pros
It performs antivirus scans faster than any other program I've tried. I'm frequently surprised by how fast it scans large drives.
Cons
Frequent notifications in the corner. This is a problem with most antivirus programs, but it usually comes down to how often you update the database and scan.

Malwarebytes-better than Norton
Reviewed on 13/12/2019
My overall experience is very pleasant so far with Malwarebytes, and their continued striving to keep our devices safe.
Pros
I like that there is a free version of this software, but it doesn't feel free. I like that you can remove unwanted or damaged files with the free version. It makes you feel much more confident about a company when they do so much for free.
Cons
I don't have anything negative at this point. The software seems to keep our devices running smooth and without issues.

Simple and effective anti-malware software for any platform
Reviewed on 23/9/2019
It's fast and simple to use, it takes no time to do a scan, and it doesn't interfere or slow down the computer with background activity.
Pros
Simplicity, and a clear message around what it is and what it is not: this is not an generic antivirus software, this is tailored for malware like adware, spyware, ransomware.
The free version is effective as the paid one except for some features (like background scan) that can important for some users.
Cons
Actually nothing major, maybe a simplified scheduling feature in the free version could be a nice-to-have.

Say goodbye to malicious computer threats with Malwarebytes
Reviewed on 5/1/2020
Malwarebytes has provided me with a great, easy way to keep my computer running smoothly and quickly. I highly recommend the product.
Pros
The thing I like the most about Malwarebytes is that it is very simple and safe to use, from the new user to the seasoned programmer, Malwarebytes is the go-to tool for you.
Cons
What I find least appealing is the fact that the app is not always submitted to the same standards as other anti malware applications when it comes to handling "zero day" applications. This, however, should not dissuade anyone from using this great product.

Simple, Yet Effective and Powerful Anti-Virus Software
Reviewed on 19/9/2019
I first discovered Malwarebytes years ago when my computer got a nasty virus that pretty much made my computer non-functional. I got a recommendation to download Malwarebytes while in safe-mode. I followed the advice, downloaded the software and Malwarebytes quarantined all of the bugs and malware attacking my computer. I had tried other softwares to fix this problem and had no luck. Malwarebytes had my computer virus-free and back to normal quickly. Shortly after, I purchased the paid version of the software and have used it and recommended it to everyone I know. We even use it at my dental office.
Pros
The price! The value and price for this software is exceptional. This software is such a high quality product that is so much more affordable and than its competitors. This software is straight and to the point. A super simple interface that is very easy to use. Malwarebytes does it's job and it does it very well by quarantining and removing viruses and malware. It scans your computer daily to keep your information and computer safe.
Cons
I have never had any issues with Malwarebytes. I couldn't tell you how their customer service is because I've never had to use it!

Unintrusive powerful software to secure your computer
Reviewed on 11/10/2020
Always up to date to remove the latest intrusions. Honor their lifetime update policy. Easy to use and very reliable. No overheads with performance issues when installed. A must product in all computers.
Pros
I bought the full version of Malwarebytes years ago and It has protected me in every way. As a computer consultant to many small companies and individuals, I install Malwarebytes in every computer I work on. The free version does everything except give you real time protection. When somone calls about ransomware or other threatening intrusions, I simply say start Malwarebytes, let it update and scan. That's it the problem is gone.
Cons
I bought mine when one small payment gave me a lifetime update version. It is still recognized years later. The one apsect that disappointing is their change over to a yearly subscription but then business is business. For critical users, I get them to subscibe.

Best bang for the buck
Reviewed on 22/11/2019
I've been using the software for only a few months. But since I've gotten, I've made a pitch to our organization to get rid of everything else and start using this on a more permanent basis.
Pros
The software is not as invasive like some of the others. You can continue to work while it runs in the background using minimal resources. This is a very good thing so your work process or what ever it is your working on isn't slowed down or completely freezes up. You can schedule a scan or manually activate it you think there may be a virus in your computer. These guys got it right. From scanning to removal its a very fast software and keeps you working at top levels.
Cons
I really couldn't find a con. Even when I thought there would be one when it comes to updating, nope. It automatically updates whenever its activated.

Reviewed on 17/9/2019
I have had this program detect and prevent my PC's from becoming infected with malware. I also get an e-mail when one of my users get attacked. This allows me to be faster in the removal of offending files.
Pros
I appreciate the centralized management console where I can manage my subscriptions and keep all my computers updated with the latest signatures. And notification when a PC is attacked.
Cons
The free version does not have real time scanning. I feel at the very least the free version should have real time scanning, and maybe only get updated manually.

Malwarebytes is your light and powerful protector partner for your devices
Reviewed on 28/10/2022
After using Malwarebytes for nearly seven years now, I have realized the true benefits of this program and have not had any negative reviews for this beautiful tool.I was impressed with his ability to scale up his level and his sensitivity and speed have allowed me to detect and eliminate threats undetected by other bestselling antivirus software in the market. For this reason, I did not hesitate to get the premium Malwarebytes license,Scanning and cleaning for potential malware are very easy with Malwarebytes.Its protection from any threat that exists on the internet including fraud attempts is excellent.The price has not increased significantly during the years I used it, which makes it a great value for the added peace of mind.
Pros
During my use of the program and with its easy-to-use interface, I did not encounter any problems with malware or ransomware. It works efficiently behind the scenes even with the automatic updates feature.Scans don't seem to rob your computer of valuable system resources, so they’re suitable for working even with older hardware.A real-time monitoring service instantly detects, isolates, and alerts you about any threats and allows you to keep them in quarantine or delete them.I have tried other antivirus programs that offer malware protection but Malwarebytes is the best and most reliable.The price is just right - especially with the multi-year subscription with good technical support. Free version with many features.
Cons
After the premium version expires, the free version hasn't the same protection, and the notifications pop up quite frequently annoyingly.

A reliable free or low-cost security option
Reviewed on 17/9/2019
Malwarebytes makes me more confident as a general computer user, but also as someone whose job is primarily based online. There's a lot of data exchanged between my computer and Malwarebytes takes away the worry of my computer being made more vulnerable to external threats.
Pros
My favorite part about Malwarebytes is that it offers a free version and paid because the free allows me to test out the product. I also love this software because it does not come with all the annoying pop up notifications or emails. It's simple to navigate when doing scans and identifying malware. Some malware software is tedious or limited in its scope.
Cons
I wish Malwarebytes was more compatible with my mac. At times, my computer freezes during scans or takes an extremely long time to load pages and applications when performing scans. Malwarebytes seems to take up a lot of memory.

What's better than no infections?
Reviewed on 29/7/2019
Pros
Malwarebytes is simply a no-brainer when it comes to desktop protection. Not only do I run this on my work machines, I have it protection my home computers as well. It's as simple as the classic infomercial says. "Set it and forget it!" Once it's installed, other than making sure to upgrade to new versions, Malwarebytes works. But, how do you really know you're not just flushing money down the toilet?
Simple! You don't get infected with malware, trojans or ransomware. Yes, ransomware! Malwarebytes even protects you against ransomware. It's also reassuring to look at the reports on just how many things are blocked in terms of websites or the nefarious ads on a web page. You can see that it's actively protecting you with minimal overhead in terms of resource utilization (processor, memory, etc.)
Cons
I have no complaints other than one update that was bugged and quickly fixed.

Malwarebytes Premium (Personal & Solopreneurs)
Reviewed on 8/12/2019
Despite my recent frustration re: uninstalling (described above), I still highly recommend Malwarebytes Premium for Windows (Personal). Glitches happen with any software and considering the poor customer service so many companies think is perfectly acceptable, I regard my recent issue to be minor in the big scheme of things.
I have used Malwarebytes for 5+ years. Every IT pro I've asked has highly recommended it too.
Pros
Prevents nasty malware from entering PC. Reasonably priced considering the cost of fixing a malware problem - $60 for one year subscription or $54.50/year for 2 years.
Cons
I recently had trouble with the software - it would not load. The standard 'fix' for such problems is to Uninstall and then reinstall the software. However, I could not uninstall Malwarebytes using the standard Windows Uninstaller, *and* I could not uninstall using the Malwarebytes Support Tool. No software is perfect, even 'support tools'. What bothered me is that there is a known problem with uninstalling Malwarebytes for Windows (for some computers) but this problem--and the solution--is not mentioned in the Malwarebytes Support Tool FAQ. (There is also a Support Tool Manual but the current Manual is for Malwarebytes version 1.4 and the current Malwarebytes version is 1.5.3.749.
On the positive side, the Malwarebytes support documents overall are very good and the support forum is excellent. I learned about the solution to my uninstall problem in the Support Forum - I needed to use the Support Tool in Windows Safe Mode.

I'd been using it for years and noticed it caught more than other programs.
The free version only worked when I ran the scan, not as viruses or bad websites came up, so I paid for the full version and have been very pleased with it.
Pros
I love how it's running all the time, not just when I run a scan, so it catches more problems as they enter my computer.
Cons
I haven't had any viruses while running this anti-virus so I have zero complaints.

Overall, I love how I can set the scan to happen every day and how it catches the bad sites and viruses before doing any damage to my computer. So far it has been very helpful to us.
Pros
When we got our new office computers Malwarebytes was recommended by our back office to use for our security. We had never used them before, but it has been a great experience so far. The computers have been running smoothly and Malwarebytes seems to catch all the bad sites before anything can happen.

Love knowing my computer is secure!
Reviewed on 10/2/2018
Total computer security and peace of mind at a highly affordable price.
Pros
Malware Bytes Premium is the only security on all the computers and tablets in our household. It's easy to use, doesn't interfere with other applications, doesn't cause crashes, and I feel completely confident it delivers total security.
I've used a few anti-virus programs, but I always ran the free version of Malware Bytes alongside them. After a popular and expensive anti-virus program falsely detected a trojan and crashed my system, deleting drivers and corrupting files, and I had to spend for repairs, I made the decision that Malware Bytes Premium was all I needed for security. It's a decision I haven't regretted. I run Malware Bytes permanently in the background at all times. It monitors for any suspicious activity and warns immediately if there is the smallest risk. In addition, I run a full scan every day.
This software is amazingly good value - far less costly than most anti-virus software and does so much more! Stops ransomware and exploit attacks. Shields against suspicious websites. Removes malware and spyware. No more worms, rogues, dialers, trojans, rootkits, exploits, or bots... ever! As I work online, this protection is essential, and it's nice to know I can play and socialize safely as well, anytime I please.

Free was so good, I went premium.
Reviewed on 27/2/2021
I didn't think I needed anything. The server has an internal IP address on a separated subnet and is behind a router with port forwarding. Then, of course, we run Windows Defender also. Incoming attacks are pretty rare, but now and then a bot will find its way through and Malwarebytes's real time black list goes to work. The software does a really good job and I'm quite pleased with it. It's very affordable, and for a tiny server like ours, it fits the bill perfectly.
Pros
This software really does its job. I don't run many servers. Just one, in fact, for a small business for internal use. It's all behind a solid firewall with limited access from the outside world, but you can never be too careful. Since the server is pretty important to us, I figured it wasn't a bad idea to put something else in place just in case. This does a great job.
Cons
This isn't a flaw, it's actually doing its job. But the only *annoyance* is the notifications that pop up constantly when the program is doing its job. On the rare occasion that a bot does find an obscure port we have open for forwarding and begins hammering the server with a brute force attack, the alerts just go haywire. Again, that's not a flaw. It shows how well this works. I just wish it wasn't so noisy about it sometimes.
