Very good internet security

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: It's perfect for my needs. I've never had any issues with the software itself in terms of security. I was recommended to use this software in my business but now I also use it in my personal capacity.

Pros:

With just the free version alone you can do a full scan of computers for any malicious software and the paid version offers much more. It scan in the background without you even noticing. The computers don't "lag" when it's performing updates or scanning. Internet safety is a big deal these days and you can't go without some sort of protection on the internet. It blocks suspicious sites, password safety and keeps my computers safe since they are running 99% of the time with permanent internet connection.

Cons:

Customer service can be better. I had an issue where I got charged twice for no reason. I did get my money back after a lot of back and forth emails. I've seen that this happened to a few people before.

Efficient Threat Detection

4.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Malwarebytes is an excellent choice for those looking for specific protection against malware, but it can't replace a complete security suite. The choice depends on your needs: if you're looking for simplicity and efficiency in malware, it's a great option; if you need more comprehensive protection, you may need to complement it with other tools.

Pros:

Excellent at detecting and removing malware, spyware, trojans and ransomware.

Cons:

Protection against phishing and other online threats may not be as advanced as some specialized competitors

Revoked 3 PC licence, Terrible slow support, awful customer relations

1.0 6 years ago

Comments: These terrible business practices have led me to leave a review about this to hopefully help protect other buyers. Their customer service is awful and they make the customer deal with the problem that they created. It's shocking in this day and age a company like Malwarebytes would treat customers like this. I am hoping someone starts a class action lawsuit against them.

Pros:

It was decent protection until they stopped honouring their licences.

Cons:

I purchased a 3 PC licence lifetime licence from one of their approved resellers which worked for three years and then suddenly they removed two of the licences in June 2019. They then proceeded to label the vendor a liar and tell me I had to take it up with them. I did contact the vendor and they said that Malwarebytes is not honouring those licences and they are ignoring requests for information. The reseller also offered me a free 1 year licence to make up for it, even though Malwarebytes is pulling this stunt. I have no doubt that that Malwarebytes is messing them over and messing the customer over too just to try to make a buck.

5.0 2 years ago

Effective and non-invasive

5.0 last year

Comments: I open it, press the button and wait a few minutes for it to finish analyzing the PC. It works good.

Pros:

It scans your PC quite quickly for viruses and malware based on an internal, updatable database.

Cons:

I don't like that when you install it it sets the PC to start automatically. Also, the free version expires and then it is no longer possible to use the program. It would have been preferable if it continued to work offering reduced functionality.

The best Anti-Malware software I ever used!

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

I downloaded an application that I thought it was safe, after opening it my workstation become unresponsive, many annoying pop-ups displayed on my screen (advertisement) and worst is that my files are missing. I downloaded the free edition of this software and after installing, it clean and make my workstation back to its performance. Thumbs-up for the developer of this software!

Cons:

Free edition has a limitation, typical just like other software. Free edition of this software is already powerful and secure your workstation. If you need to be constantly secured and safe, better subscribe.

Malware Software

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: If you want to purchase a software that will provide protection for malware. This is the best that I have found.

Pros:

Malware installation was very easy. It came highly recommended for stopping attacks of malware on your system.

Cons:

Malware is not ransomware. It does not protect you against ransomware. The least thing I liked is that I was under the impression I was protected from all of the "bad" wares out there and that is not the case.

Virus free is best

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

Malware bytes is a solid anti virus program. The thing that makes it solid is that it works and is compatible with many other programs so good for business and the cost is fair.

Cons:

I found that customer service is frustrating to wade through and I don't always get the help I need when I need it.

I have used MalwareBytes for at least 7 years and the last two years I have had to have support send me a patch to get the renewal to download.

2.0 8 years ago

Comments: It used to be a good program but the company has left the same problems untreated for the last two years. It takes a long time to download it since I had to request patches from the company. I will never use it again, it is too frustrating.

Pros:

It does block some sites in real time so that I can close them right away. It scans quickly. It has a lot of options as to what I want scanned.

Cons:

Whenever I downloaded MalwareBytes Exploit, my computer would not start normally. I had to start it in Safe Mode and remove antiexploit.

Malware Problem is no problem.

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Updates daily, so I never have to worry about databases being out of data. Warns promptly when there's junk on a PC, and scheduled scans is perfect especially for the not so tech savvy users.

Cons:

Pop ups in the corner tend to be slightly on the annoying side, but no big deal. There's an x button to close out but it still pings up slowly and interferes with work at times. (They're useful so you have to deal!)

Finds things other Antiviruses just don't

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Real time monitoring keeps users safe while browsing. I haven't had a single PC using this software catch a virus. On the PCs that don't have Malwarebytes as anti-virus I always use Malwarebytes to clean up the mess. Best antivirus out there.

Cons:

I honestly can't think of anything wrong with this program. I know I'm supposed to find SOMETHING, but I honestly can't.

Decent option for smaller businesses, but lacks the higher quality support and the more reliable functionality of alternative protection software

3.0 7 years ago

Comments: Decided to stick to our main name brand antivirus provider as we found the extensive support we had been used to and renewal options faired much better than switching to an almost entirely new system.

Pros:

Business packages option are decent, and price point is fine especially with added options of onsite installation and server management upkeep, feature set is also comparable to other brands of antivirus software but not as extensive from our experience.

Cons:

Support was an issue at times, although no major issues at the time of writing with the threat detection aspects, but we had only been trailing the software before considering making a switch from our in house previous brand of protection.
