### "Feature-Rich Antivirus/Antimalware Software"

August 30, 2019

5.0

Malwarebytes is one of the standard applications I run on a system that is running slow. It always catches malware that other anti-malware packages don't. I really like the free trial offered to new users, plus the ability to just run the free version if desired after the end of the free trial.

Pros

What I like most about Malwarebytes is all of the features it has. It not only detects spyware and malware but also acts like an antivirus. I also appreciate how new users are given a free trial of the Pro edition of the software.

Cons

A lot of times when a software has a ton of features, the user interface can become very busy and cluttered. Malwarebytes suffers from this a little bit. When first installing it, it can really seem overwhelming with all of the options and especially the notifications that seem to just pop up out of everywhere.

Reason for choosing Malwarebytes for Business

It doesn't cripple machine performance when running an initial scan or when leaving it running in the background.

### "MalwareBytes "

November 19, 2019

5.0

In my profession, they usually send me files of different types, or different clients so that I can work with them and sometimes the work is urgent, so I do not have the time to review each file or the devices that I connect to my computer, so that the application has solved me in more than one occasion when analyzing or making a diagnosis to my computer and seeing what infection problems it has or prevents any virus or malware infection

Pros

The application is quite useful for me, normally in my professional area I have to download files from different people or files from public pages where it is usually expected that there is an infected file and more than once I have been able to have the program to disinfect or Avoid some corrupt file. Despite having a trial version at the beginning, it performed quite well and fixed infection problems both at work and on my computer at home.

Cons

I think that the only thing I would change about this is the free version, since it becomes invasive in some cases, otherwise it has been very useful.

Pretty good protection with decent management controls.

Pros

Great security, relatively easy to set up, lots of visibility on all devices. Recommended for small to mid size businesses

### "Best malware detection tool I've tried"

April 22, 2019

5.0

Malwarebytes is a great tool which provides fantastic protection from malware in a very easy way to use. It's not just about having an antivirus but also about removing whatever is already on the PC and hiding inadvertently and Malwarebytes is the system that has seemed to beat a lot of the antivirus I've tried. It's also very well made so that people who might not get a lot this type of program can run it without any hitch.

Pros

I like that it is very easy to use, has a free alternative and that it can detect and deal with any malware that it finds in the PC or any files or online websites and that it clearly explains what can be done to them like removing them, giving them an exception or quarantining them. I also like that once it finds something it will point out the path to where this malware was found.

Cons

The only con I see is that if you use the free version, then you don't have active scanning when you are surfing the web, which has actually proven pretty helpful in my experience.

### "Have used Malwarebytes for several years, including both the free and licensed versions."

July 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

There are many, many, malware/spyware programs out there, both installable and real-time online scanners. I have used many brands and many types, but have always liked Malwarebytes products because of their reliability and more important - consistency. They also have other free tools such as stubborn file deleters, root kit scanners, etc. Good company with good products and easy to deal with as well.

Cons

There isn't a product out there (and never has been) that will catch 100% of any type of malware or virus activity; it just can't be done because of ever-evolving code and technology. This industry is a "reaction-based" industry that produces its best results as a reaction to something malicious that has already happened. Malwarebytes isn't necessarily at fault for being in this same category, but as with other products, as long as you do updates on a regular basis you'll be as protected as you can be for most situations.

### "Malwarebytes is known for its highly reliable security from any virus breach. "

August 31, 2019

5.0

Malwarebytes has improved my overall working because I'm more carefree and don't have to worry much regarding the safety of my devices and the important files.

Pros

This tool allows me to secure all of my working and data in the most efficient way. It maintains maximum of security of our devices and tools. It can protect and secure from any virus attacks from removable devices or internet surfing. It protects us in the most reliable way.

Cons

I have experienced few issues while using this tool which involves payment issues for subscription and redundantly slow working of the devices due to high working impact. It's online server protection is also not effective and we have to manually search for any possible virus intrusions in our devices.

### "Not perfect but okay"

January 9, 2020

4.0

Please see my cons section for more information. I do not recommend this software for anyone with Windows 10

Pros

I started using Malwarebytes about two years ago it's been working great and I've had no problems or complaints about it whatsoever. that is until about three months ago please see below...

Cons

About 3 months ago I had to take my computer and because it wouldn't even turn on I was sure it was the black screen of death as I like to call it seeing as it was beeping at me and there was nothing on the screen this is a brand new computer that I had just purchased not that long ago so you can imagine my horror. Needless to say when I brought it in there was according to the computer tech is serious malware problem. Ever since then I've had to manually check it to make sure but there are no malware because according to my computer repair guy the the malware software is not catching all of the problems. So even though it worked for a very long time on different computer systems that I've had I definitely would not recommend this software to anyone with the Windows 10 it seems to be conflicting with it.

### "Longtime Malwarebytes User...both commercially and personally"

February 27, 2020

5.0

I have used them for at least 10 years and never once needed a different product to fix a problem with Malware

Pros

Fast and complete...the free version is arguably the only tool you need to root out issues and it has never let me down on a Malware repair

Cons

Overall its hard to place any real cons at the feet of this software. There have been malware issues that required more involved efforts and the software supported them, but the extra work required more knowledge of computer functions...ie bios and pre OS load efforts

### "Good value but lacks some needed features"

July 6, 2019

3.0

Overall, Malwarebytes is a sufficient application for personal computers and laptops. I don't recommend this, however, for business use.

Pros

It is quite inexpensive, automatically scans for virus's, and gets rid of adware (which I find to be the biggest advantage). It does not have any conflicts with other antivirus software that may also be installed and running. One can set it for regular scans and updates also. It is extremely easy to install, so I recommend it for people who are not very tech savvy, but still need a decent application to protect their personal computer.

Cons

I was disappointed to find that it does not scan my emails nor websites that I am visiting. Fortunately, the email application I use does a very good job of scanning for virus's and spam emails. I recommend adding another application that would scan websites, if one is using the free Malwarebytes application. I would also like if it had a quick scan option, like AVG or CCleaner has.

### "Malware protection no hassles"

March 3, 2020

5.0

It gets rid of any unwanted PUPS or malware that may slow down or interfere with your desktop or ipad or notebook.

Pros

No browser slow down, integrates with all browsers, one simple installation, no pesky ads. Free version is still quite effective.

Cons

really cant find fault, it asks you if want increased protection and asks you to go premium and pay for it.

Reason for choosing Malwarebytes for Business

always worked well for us

### "Malwarebytes saved my laptop."

July 25, 2019

5.0

I was downloading a owners manual for my camper that corrupted my laptop with a virus. A college recommended Malwarebytes and it fixed my problem and has protected me ever since.

Pros

The program was easy to find and to set up.

Cons

No cons. I like the product. Works well with my other programs.

Reason for choosing Malwarebytes for Business

free and recommended from a friend who knows.

### "Longstanding Reliable AntiMalware"

August 13, 2018

5.0

Pros

I first installed this program 9 years ago to remove some spyware that I had accidentally installed. I was so impressed with how Maywarebytes could remove something that McAffe could not! Ever since then, Maywarebytes has been the first program I install on any new computer I own. It has never failed to stop a potential attack, and there are constant updates so I know I am getting the best product possible.

Cons

The free version asks for an upgrade every day. I don't want to upgrade every device, but there is no option to make it stop asking.

### "Malwarebytes Review"

February 27, 2020

5.0

Very good. I have run the software on several of my computers and it has detected and quarantined potential "malicious" viruses.

Pros

It is free. I have been using the free version for several years and it has been recommended to me by several of our local and national technical support specialists. I recently upgraded to the paid version since the difference between it and the free version is that the paid version runs constantly in the background and protects your computer and network especially from ransomware. Protection against ransomware was my main reason for upgrading our computers to the paid version of Malwarebytes.

Cons

None that I am aware of. However, I wish it was made more clear whether you can have Malwarebytes and Windows Defender operating at the same time on your computer, or does one cancel the other out?

Reason for choosing Malwarebytes for Business

Reputation, recommendations from tech support personnel (several) and reasonable price for multiple licenses.

### "Great at First But Buggy after Initial Scan"

November 26, 2018

5.0

didn't love the glitches and hanging. i wouldnt recommend it

Pros

Liked the security this provided. Wanted something that could help me get rid of, or at least give me the sense that something was getting rid of, the malware on my system and this worked as advertised.

Cons

as with all malware removers, you don't really know what is happening or that it is at all so you just have to trust it. my biggest peeve with this software is how it would always hang when notifying me of paying to upgrade. i would always have to run task manager to stop it and get rid of it.

Very good and stable program, all users experience a fine us of it.

Pros

It's working and you don't mention it is. Not by itself and not by the malware it's defeating.

Cons

None, I can't mention any reasons why you shouldn't use this program.

### "A must have in addition to anti virus"

June 26, 2019

5.0

Even with some top notch anti virus software using VPNs you're going to get pups, tractors and malware from surfing the net. This helps stop that and if you do get some, it removes it. I have all PCs in the office setup for daily scans that are set for overnight so everyone's PC is ready to rock the next business day.

Pros

Is everything a good enough answer for this? It actually works - trackers, pups, malware this takes care of it. Easy to use, even my end users can do it! With the paid version it auto updates and can setup daily scans.

Cons

I have yet to find one. It's one of the first things installed on a new PC.

### "Really does the job without affecting the speed of your pc"

October 28, 2019

5.0

The experience is much more awesome when compare to the bloated alternatives which do the same thing with the cost of making your pc slow as a snail, but malwarebytes is so op to be honest its like a goal for new defenders.

Pros

I like everything i mean its a lovable piece of work, it will protect your computer without affecting the overall performance, the anti-malware engine is much sophisticated then any others i've used and the best part you don't have to pay if you are not looking for 24-hours active protection from every type of threats.

Cons

i would say none all the features are lovable and extremely crafted with ease and quality in mind, but if i have to say something i kinda feel down whenever i do fresh install on a friend's pc who don't have connectivity then its just nothing more then that trash ideling and doing nothing cause it need to download the database(not comes with the package).

### "Best of the best"

December 20, 2020

5.0

Malwarebytes is a computer user's greatest defense, a computer technicians best tool, and the virus designer and hackers worst enemy. There is none better.

Pros

Malwarebytes antimalware is by far hands down the most useful, up-to-date, free software for basic or a minimal price for amazing software to rid your computer of any and all viruses malware of any source. I ran my own computer business for many years and finally retired and in the business down to a friend and Malwarebytes is hands down best tool in my arsenal.

Cons

If Malwarebytes had an online version the people could use even if their computer was so choked up with viruses and malware that installation of software was impossible, it would be a wonderful tool but as far as I know there isn't one.

Avast sometimes could find malware and viruses but was unable to remove it whereas Malwarebytes found stuff Avast didn't even know existed and removed the things that it did. Superior in all ways to any antivirus or malware removal tool out there. Avast was definitely my second choice but still second choice.

September 30, 2019

5.0

We've been using Malwarebytes as our exclusive threat-monitoring solution for years. It's easy and efficient for administrators, and doesn't get in the way of our day-to-day business.

Pros

Malwarebytes is simple and powerful. It monitors in real-time for any threats, and gives you the power to choose how you want to handle them. I appreciate that it runs unobtrusively in the background and does not utilize many computer resources in the process.

Cons

Nothing in particular; we find it to be the most consistently up to date and active monitoring without getting in the way of anything.

August 13, 2018

5.0

Whether you use the free version and scan manually, or you opt for the pro version (which is totally affordable!), you'll be protected from malware, spyware, and viruses with MalwareBytes. I use it daily, and have been thoroughly happy with it as my only protection on my computers.

Pros

It's super easy to use and protects from malware and viruses. I've actually had Malwarebytes find a virus that other top virus software couldn't find! I recommend it to all of my clients, friends, family and everyone loves it. Super affordable too!

Cons

I don't have any cons for Malwarebytes, it's an all around must have.

### "The one and only malware scan you must use right now "

March 23, 2020

5.0

Use on most managed machines.

Pros

It really is the most simple product to use on the market and running a Malwarebytes scan will bring everything to the table where a Norton or similar scan wouldn't be able to find anything near.

Cons

Not too much I can really think of, if put on machine as trial the popup can be rather annoying to pay to upgrade but that really is needed for them to be compensated for the product.

I was trying to solve clients and even coworkers in the office having random software come down from sites and even the result of viewing web pages. I think the software is good for helping keep machines clean and helping manage the flow of malware.

Pros

The software just works, and the ability to set it scan weekly and come back and the scans are very quick which makes the clients happy.

Cons

Sometimes this software can bring false positives which can be a hassle. Some of the webmail options need to install certain files that almost always come back and malware until put it on a white list.

### "Malwarebytes is an essential tool for the fight against malware"

March 4, 2019

5.0

We have used Malwarebytes for over a year now since our company had a major malware attack. Malwarebytes took care of the malware on the affected machines quickly and thoroughly where other applications failed before it. That was enough evidence for us that the application was indispensable. It simply works to remove the malware that infiltrates your machines.

Pros

I liked the ease of use. It is easy to deploy and get installed on a client's machine. It is easy to scan a client's machine and it is easy to use the web portal for control of the application.

Cons

As good as the software is, it is a bit on the expensive side, even compared to it's peers. However, from my company's evaluations, it is the best at what it does, so it makes sense that it would cost more.
