Service Delivery Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mandatory for Security" June 19, 2019 5.0 Pros It is an excellent tool for protecting your computer. Unobtrusive and powerful. Cons Can occasionally be a bit of a memory hog. But i would rather have a machine that is running slow occasionally, than one that is at risk. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager/Producer Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Malwarebytes is great!" October 24, 2019 5.0 Pros A quick and frequent scan can keep your computer clean and safe. Cons I wish it scanned for other potential risks. Review Source SP Sal P. Advisor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very intuitive." August 20, 2019 5.0 I have been a long-time user of Malwarebytes over the last decade and have used it on all of my personal computers. Pros \-Easy to use, very intuitive. -Constant updates and enhancements -Effective at maintaining network safety. -Immediate notification of a threat. Cons \-Not free -Can sometimes lag or freeze. -Not as widely known as other anti-malware software. Switched from [Norton AntiVirus](https://www.capterra.com/p/648/Norton-Security/) I found MBAM works more effectively and is less cumbersome on my system. Review Source JH John H. Director Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Stay Safe, protection when others fail" July 17, 2019 5.0 great results, this finds issues that my other 2 products that I also run don't find Pros runs all the time, watching your PC, your files, your programs, your web activity - protects you from malicious sites and ads - stuff you don't even know is happening (or the bad things that are trying to heappen) when you open a web page. A good price. You can run this in addition to other anti-virus products; it does not slow your system down Cons some of the reporting is very IT specific, so if you use this be sure to have an IT person that watches the logs and that can help you when it tells you there is a problem that it found. Review Source Pamela K. President Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recommended by my MOM!" April 22, 2020 5.0 Pros This gets rid of all the little pesky things that normal anti-virus software doesn't catch. I feel safer with this on my computers. Cons Too many pop ups asking to buy other products like a lot of anti-virus software. Review Source DN David N. Aeronautical Engineer Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Malwarebytes No Support package" September 17, 2019 1.0 Absolutely pathetic. Their website makes it so impossible to have any conversation with anybody. I personally wish to cancel my subscription, but cannot get any technical assistance. Why am I cancelling. I purchased Malwarebytes years ago on an old email address, which has now been cancelled. Malwarebytes have been given my new email address, my proof of purchase but will not refund the subscription! Be aware of this as if you really need help, you are out on your own. Its been deleted, just need the cash back Malwarebytes, and have advised my bank to stop any withdrawal from Malwarebytes. Pros Ease of use interface, and works well in the background Cons The customer support is non existent. Very poor follow up on any problem you have Review Source Daniel D. Product Specialist Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best anti-malware software on the market" March 5, 2019 5.0 I have been using Malwarebytes for several years now. I recommend it to all my friends and family. Pros Malware bytes is one of the best anti-malware software on the market. I use it on all my devices to scan for unwanted adware,malware and trojans. It has a paid and free version, I have used both and I prefer the paid. However, if you're on a budget, the free version works just fine. Cons Some of the paid features would have been very beneficial for the free version. Malwarebytes also has a few pop up advertisements to purchase the paid version which can get frustrating to deal with. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Website Development & Marketing Manager Computer Networking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Malwarebytes is the perfect companion for your preferred Anti-virus" September 19, 2018 5.0 Whenever my computer is acting a bit off (popup ads, slowdowns, etc.) I fire up malwarebytes and it has found the culprit every time so far. I always recommend it to all my friends and family who are having computer issues, the free version is stellar, and the paid version adds real-time protection. Pros I love how many potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) Malwarebytes catches that my primary anti-virus overlooks - it finds and removes plugins and adware that my anti-virus skips and helps keep my computer clean. Cons I don't have any major complaints about Malwarebytes, though I do wish they would offer lifetime licenses again. Review Source MO Magdalena O. admin Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recommended for everyone who values security" March 25, 2026 5.0 Great experience so far, not had any problems, never any attacks, so cannot comment anything other than superb piece of software! Pros easy to use, not conflicting with the antivirus and good quality alerts when it actually matters, great piece of software! Cons Cannot think of anything I would initially write to complain. It's pretty well designed and works as expected. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CSO Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must have tool for your PC" January 18, 2018 4.0 I use it everyday and its very effective against malwares Pros A great tool and very easy to install. Very effective for cleaning malware. What i like most is the effectiveness of this software and malwarebytes can catch the most recent malwares very easily and completely. Their support is also good. Doesn't need much user interaction which is also an excellent part. Cons Though the overall quality is very good but there is a specific problem i have faced many times. Sometime after the auto update, malwarebytes crashes and stops to work. The easiest solution is to reinstall the software but it happens seldom. Review Source PZ Paul Z. Senior ICT Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Always have a copy with me..." August 23, 2019 5.0 As the title says, alsways have a copy with me, to any job I go to disinfect a computer, this is the first software I run and kills most crap, sometimes even viruses. Just really great and for free for home users, a little for the business users. Pros Easy to install, easy to run and the tool is scanning by itself and gives the infections at the end. When it deletes the malware it truly does the thing, sometimes you need to restart the clients pc, to be sure its deleted or it needs to remove after a reboot. Simplicity it the keyword! Cons Some website cookies are not bad, but we ignore that for now, any software has its false positives and its minors. Review Source DR David R. Site Reliability Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best free tool for cleaning malware from Windows machines" August 30, 2019 5.0 Have been a long time user of this product and is the number one tool I use for cleaning up malware / spyware from Windows machines, in fact this is one of the first pieces of software I install on a Windows machine. Pros Very easy to use - Has a Simple interface, but can dig down to more advanced options if you want. One of the best scanners and cleaners of malware for windows. It appears to pick up some of the most malware of most alternate scanners, does a good job of cleaning up and doesn't take a lot of system resources. Usually have this installed on most systems that I setup for customers. Cons Free version doesn't have all of the proactive monitoring features including stoping exploit attacks, shielding against malicious websites and blocking ransomware attacks. These features are likely worth the money given how well the free scanner works at detecting and cleaning up malware. Review Source MW Mayada W. Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Malwarebytes for business" August 4, 2023 4.0 this anti \_malware is one of the most important and smoothness anti \_virus software for me Pros I really liked that helps us to maintain clients' trust in us to our clients and keeps our business running flexibility. Cons just the pricing should go down a little. you have to pay for more advanced features. Review Source DJ Debbie J. Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Protecting my Computer" November 16, 2019 5.0 Malwarebytes has given me a great experience not just overall, but completely. It has protected my computer from attacks for almost 3 years now. My computer has never been sluggish, never crashed, glitched, surged, or had any problems. I contribute a good part of that to Malwarebytes awesome protection. Pros When I started my job almost 3 years ago and I was given a new laptop, my computer maintenance person had installed Malwarebytes on it. He set is up to run weekly. I have been so impressed by the free version of this program. My computer has been 100% protected this entire time. Before this job, I believed all free software was a scam of some sort. Malwarebytes has made a believer out of me! Cons I can only use the free version. I can not afford the upgrade at this time. For a free software, I have zero complaints. It does exactly what it claims to do. It explains what it is doing, and what you should do after each scan. It does offer an upgrade often, but I certainly don't mind that. Review Source Daniel G. Support technician Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Gets it done" October 20, 2019 5.0 Overall, solid product that makes our techs job easier to resolve client issues with malware Pros It does as advertised. The rootkit search comes in handy when being thorough. Simple user interface and is always up to date on the latest definitions Cons No active scanning if using the free version. Not as in-depth as other malware scanners. List of definitions aren't complete some times Review Source Raven R. Secretary Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Malwarebytes, the protector we need" August 1, 2019 5.0 This is a software that both the company I work for and I believe in and trust. If you are looking for new antivirus software, I advise that you try this one out. Pros Malwarebytes is great antivirus software. It is simple to install and use, and I will often recommend it to people who are having issues with their pre-loaded antivirus programs. Cons The free version could be a bit better but is more than appropriate for your average internet user. Adding in multiple devices for protection under Malwarebytes can be a little expensive, but is not that bad when comparing to other companies. Review Source RP Rachel P. Editor Publishing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Malwarebytes Helps My Business Run Smoothly." August 28, 2019 5.0 As a writer and an editor I work on my computer every day. So it's important to me to have a program that keeps it running well, protects and removes malicious software programs. I have found that and more with Malwarebytes and I tell everyone who works online as I do, that they need this program. Pros It's an easy to install program and runs in the background to help keep my pc running smoothly. I work online so this program is essential to me because it's so easy to pick up malware and other troublesome programs when I'm doing research for projects. Cons There are no cons with this program. I love it and recommend it to everyone I know. Reason for choosing Malwarebytes for Business It was highly recommended by several of my colleages, and since they work in the business that I do, I know that I could trust their recommendation. Review Source Eric C. Inspector Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great way to make sure your PC is clean!" February 6, 2020 5.0 My overall experience has been excellent and I will continue use it in conjunction with my antivirus. Pros I love that it scans deeper than my free antivirus. This software has literally resurrected some of my PC's and laptops from unusable states. Cons I haven't found anything that I don't like about this software. It works as advertised and is a must for anyone with a windows device. Review Source AK Austin K. Help Desk Technician Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Fantastic Free Option for Detecting Malware" May 16, 2019 5.0 I use Malwarebytes at home to run periodic scans on my PC to ensure that I am safe and have not compromised any information. Malwarebytes has changed much over the years but one thing has stayed the same: it always features the latest virus and malware defintions when scanning so you can be sure that your computer does not contain any malicious software or files. It also comes with features to protect your PC in realtime, although this is not free whereas the scanning feature is free and works great for a free product. Pros Easy to use, automatically updates so the latest malware threats are not missed Cons The program updates automatically before scanning, which may cause issues on slow internet connections. Review Source Corine T. Student Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Malwarebytes is a Great Software! " November 26, 2018 5.0 Overall, I would say I had a great experience with Malwarebytes. It is very easy to use and sits at the top toolbar on my desktop, so I can open it at any time. It works regularly to scan my computer, which is something I really like. I never had any issues with the software. Pros I like that there is a free version that continuously checks my computer to make sure there isn't any malware. The software does routine scans, which is really nice. When it does scan, it shows users anything that can be harmful malware and helps to eradicate the malware. I've used it a ton, and it updates regularly. Cons What I like least about this software is that it also has a paid version, so the free version doesn't get all of the features of the paid version. This is not really a big deal. I still think the software is great, and I will continue to use the free version to ensure my computer is not succumbing to any harmful malware. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelance Graphic Designer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Do exactly what it says" May 26, 2018 4.0 Macabre to Browser-hijacking worms. Pros My chrome browser's default search was changed from Google.com. Then I found about this on the internet. It worked like a charm and the search was reverted back. Cons The only disadvantage to me was that this app doesn't allow users to subscribe to pro version for a lifetime. Once every two years, the license needs to be renewed. Review Source P. H. M. Writer Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "An affordable option" October 19, 2019 4.0 As a writer I can't risk having malware compromise my privacy, so it's critical that I invest in something to help protect me. Pros I chose Malwarebytes for mobile because it was affordable and had good reviews. I haven't been disappointed. With a few taps my device was checked and gets checked regularly. Cons It would be nice to have greater control and be able to fine tune certain aspects including privacy. It would also be good to have better in app notification control.

Freelancer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Its the best in the market" August 12, 2019 5.0 Pros I have used several antiviruses but nothing works better than malwarebytes. When i first scanned my pc with malwarebytes it showed me 300 viruses which were not detected by esset and avg. So it basically cleaned every single virus and my pc was like new!! Cons Price, its very costly for me to buy it every single year Review Source CG Chris G. Business Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A perfect backup to any and all virus protection" November 19, 2019 5.0 There's nothing worse than seeing the screen flash and the software start acting up. You know it's some form of malware. When you can't even access your primary protection software you'll be forever grateful if Malwarebytes is in your protection toolbox. Pros I have had viruses go through and disable my primary virus protection, making it impossible to open that software. Malwarebytes was the hero in both instances, locating and eliminating the virus and saving our system. Cons I'm not sure it's a negative that I had to use it, but there has never been a flaw with this software and never has a virus or any other malware beaten this software. Review Source Richard M. Customer Support Manager Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Essential for Windows" December 5, 2018 5.0 Pros Efficient, quick, no bugs. It's one of the first things I install whenever I reinstall windows. Cons I honestly cannot name a flaw, maybe adding 1-2 more features from paid to free version would be nice?
