The software deep dives into your system, scanning all files, folders, subfolders, extensions, etc... Pros Malwarebytes is a very simple tool to use, from downloading it to your first scan. The controls are easy to understand and obvious. You don't need to search for which button to use. Cons Just like any "FREE" software, there are upgrades. The manual scan feature is the only free function available. Switched from [SUPERAntiSpyware](https://www.capterra.com/p/59090/SUPERAntiSpyware/) Although SUPERantispyware searches and finds hotkeys, cookies, and trackers, it does not find infections like Malwarebytes does. Malwarebytes finds the hidden viruses that SUPERantispyware misses. Review Source cQ connor Q. IT Team Lead Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Second-line defence for layered endpoint security" April 18, 2026 4.0 It generally needs to be alongside an AV solution to offer complete security posturing for endpoints; although once established and relevant apps and processes are whitelisted in can synergise excellently Pros provides excellent layer security, especially when in parallel with a dedicated AV solution. it can detect and remediate threats that normal AV can miss, such as suspicious behaviours, exploitative activity and ransomewhere. It is a reliable second line of defence for endpoint transparency and management in this aspect, rather than a basic signature based protection tool. Cons Its best treated as a compliment to AV rather than a replacement or alternative. As such it definitely falls short if you are reliant on it as a first and last base of security on hosts, or if not tuned correctly/apps and processes whitelisted; then youre likely to experience issues similarly.

IT Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid solution for anti-malware, but with room to grow" July 6, 2025 3.0 My experience with Malwarebytes for Business has been fair. It does the job when it comes to basic threat protection, and it's straightforward enough for most IT admins to get up and running. However, there are a few areas where it could evolve to better meet the demands of larger, more complex environments. Pros Malwarebytes for Business has a simple and intuitive dashboard, making it relatively easy for IT teams to manage. It provides effective real-time protection and detects most common threats without much configuration. Cons Reporting and alert customisation options are somewhat limited, and sometimes the cloud console feels a bit sluggish. Integration with other endpoint management tools could be improved.

Account Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Malwarebytes meets threats head on" April 29, 2025 5.0 We have seen an increase in threat detection and elimination across the board which has helped relieve some of the strain on our IT team. There has been continual updates to the software which helps us feel even more secure. Pros The ease at which we were able to deploy Malwarebytes coupled with the comprehensive protection offered has completely blown my expectations out of the water.

" March 18, 2026 5.0 So far I haven't had any experience with customer services yet which I suppose is a good sign that the software is easy to use, bug free and reliable. Pros Having used malware bytes for years personally I decided to use it professionally for my business. Dealing with pc builds and customers livleyhoods I need security software I can trust. Cons It's a tad on the expensive side if you've never used the platform it may be hard to see the benifits of paying for a subscription when there are many free alternatives out there.

It's effective at detecting and eliminating threats, offers a user-friendly interface, and provides peace of mind. However, its resource-intensive scans and occasional false positives are areas for improvement. Pros its ability to detect even the smallest issues, such as PUP files, and larger threats like Trojans and hijack viruses. I also appreciate its user-friendly interface and effective malware scanning Cons can be resource-intensive during scans, which may slow down devices. Additionally, there have been concerns about false positives and the need for better reporting capabilities Review Source JS Josh S. IT Coordinator Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lightweight and effective" May 12, 2025 5.0 Pros Does not take up too many resources when it runs in the background and when it performs scans Cons I honestly have nothing negative to say; this is my favorite antivirus tool out there Review Source SG Sergio G. IT Engineer Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for ransomware and malware threats" February 28, 2025 4.0 In our case we purchased it after a ransomware skipped our traditional antivirus, in order to complement that threats that were not properly managed by the antivirus. It worked fine, but after we migrated to Crowdstrike, Malwarebytes was not needed anymore. Pros \- It is easy to use within an user-friendly GUI. - Light agent. - It is good detecting malware and ransomware specially. - It is more focused on behaviours than in signatures. - Good price. Cons \- More basic than other tools. - It misses some important things that traditional EDRs manage properly, so you'll probably need to use it as an additional tool. - Sometimes we got false positives (more than in other tools).

Also it's prohibitively expensive for a smaller company Review Source LS Linda S. Office Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Malwarebytes Review" November 11, 2024 5.0 My experience with Malwarebytes for Business has been highly positive. As a comprehensive security solution for our organization's IT needs, Malwarebytes has consistently provided effective protection against a wide range of threats, including malware, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats. Pros Malwarebytes for Business provides real-time threat detection, meaning that malware and suspicious activity are identified and neutralized as soon as they are detected, reducing the risk of data breaches or other security incidents Cons While Malwarebytes integrates with some third-party systems, it doesn't always mesh seamlessly with all existing IT management or SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) tools, which could be a hurdle for larger or more complex environments.

Manager Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Detect threats without affecting performance" November 2, 2024 5.0 It is a great antivirus that provides great security, I like that it is not as invasive as other antivirus and allows you to do quick scans and background scans without affecting the use of your system, it has different ways to protect you in real time, such as web protection and ransomware protection. Pros When other antivirus cannot help you detect threats, malwarebytes does it, I like that besides having a very good database of threats, its use does not affect the use of memory as other options on the market, and the best thing is that by not having so many processes that are loaded to memory its performance is very good. Cons The disadvantage is that it does not offer real-time protection if you do not have an active subscription, and although it offers a 14-day trial version, it is not enough to test the software properly.
