I found it a useful software against online threats. If you have to download a lot of files or documents into your business laptop, you must have this software installed. Pros I love Malwarebytes. It has a robust scanning system which can detect the hardest viruses out there. It has some of the very competitive features in the market like: 1. It can scan the messages of your smartphone and detects if it's a scam or contains any suspicious link. It will automatically send all the malicious and fraud messages into the junk box. 2. It will block all the unwanted ads from the device and the adware also. 3. Malwarebytes has one of the best and most frequently updated virus definition in the market. 4. It will automatically block all the call and messages from the known scammers and fraudsters. 5. Very ideal for detecting certain rootkits which were left undetected from other popular antiviruses. Cons Malware byte is a handy antimalware software which is already protecting millions of devices. But, there are a few cons which I would like to mention. The first thing is that Malwarebytes can be a little for some people after the first discounted year. It also doesn't support real-time protection in the free version. Sometimes, it starts blocking the safer services also. Review Source New B. Owner/Admin Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Malwarebytes: Easy fixes" November 9, 2019 5.0 My experience with Malwarebytes has been exceptional. It's my go-to program for keeping everything safe on computers. I have been a fan of it for years. Pros I love how Malwarebytes works in the background unintrusively. It has so many features and offers so much security. In a time where new malware is showing up what feels like daily, It makes me feel like my work which can be sensitive is secure. I love the web protection feature, and also scheduling scans after we all finish for the day so no one will be in the way. It's also a great value for all that it does. Cons I used the free version for a while. I later switched to the paid version which was a great value and had some features I really use. Alternatives considered [Emsisoft Anti-Malware](https://www.capterra.com/p/178069/Emsisoft-Anti-Malware/) Reason for choosing Malwarebytes for Business It was a better value. It has a lot of features that I like and make use of all the time. Everything runs so quickly.

It offers, to use management and a variety of features that enhance the security posture of businesses.Just needs more improvement and to add more features and it will be world's #1 Pros The most thing I liked with my experience with this software is being smoother and keeps my system safe against any kind of virus threats and has the ability to be upgraded at any time.This software is one of the most powerful Antivirus software I've ever userd Cons The part that I found most disappointing, about my experience was the lack of the EDR feature, in the software. Furthermore, it was quite difficult to handle the range of devices involved.

Managing Partner Law Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Our business is safe when our clients' data are safe" January 9, 2024 5.0 This is a really easy product to use and it is super reliable. Having Malwarebytes is a big reassurance. Pros What I like most about Malwarebytes is that it is always there working and protecting us all the time, without prompting and without maintenance. Cons Sometimes I do not follow through on the "threats" and probably should be reminded to do so. Review Source Shannon C. Virtual Support Specialist / Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Malwarebytes equals Peace of Mind" December 7, 2017 5.0 Malwarebytes is easy to use and great at keeping my computers safe. Pros I've been a Malwarebytes customer for the last 7 years or so. We use it for all of our home PC's and our cell phones. The software is super easy to use, and the only issue I can remember having with the software had nothing to do with malware. I had an update issue, but I used their excellent forum and was given a step-by-step walk through of how to fix the issue. My overall experience has been a great one. Before Malwarebytes, we used one of the big well known anti-virus companies where we had multiple issues and had to pay extra to get those issues resolved. I'm a huge fan of Malwarebytes because they've built a community around keeping your system safe. I feel like a valued customer with them and not just a number. Cons While they do offer a free version, the annual cost for the premium version has gone up considerably over the years. Initially they offered a lifetime license before switching to the subscription model like the other carriers. The lifetime license was a huge selling point for me, but I'd still highly recommend the product. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Theatre Arts & Video Gaming Scholar Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Malwarebytes Cost Effectively " July 19, 2019 5.0 Malwarebytes has been valuable both in trial mode when proposing the software to a new client and in full licensed mode when migrating many PCs at a customer site. Malwarebytes has proven itself not only when dealing with users that unknowingly click nd open questionable files, but also when user visit questionable website/download from a questionable website. Pros Malwarebytes has been a goto for me for several years - particularly when I am implementing/deploying and supporting new systems. I've used many other products that are not only very expensive per seat, but also have a very large installation footprint that impacts system performance. Malwarebytes outperforms other solutions in both of these areas. Cons The option to silence some warnings would be helpful as to not panic some non-technical users. Reason for choosing Malwarebytes for Business Malwarebytes longevity, reputation, price, and agent installation footprint. Review Source Janette R. Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Malware Software Available " December 19, 2018 5.0 My overall experience, I've had 2 computers crash having similar software that claimed it would do the job and protect my computer from malware. I came across this software from a friend who swore by it up and down. This was about 6 years ago. I have not had a malware issue on my computer since I've been using Malwarebytes. I'm happy to say the only reason why I got a new computer was because I needed an upgrade and it wasn't due to a Malware or Virus crash. Thank you Malwarebytes! Pros This software does exactly what is says it would do without taking up to much space on your computer and it is so simple to use. You just download pick your plan set up and go. I have peace of mind knowing that this software is doing its job as I work online all day long. Cons It was a little to complex at first but with the new upgrades they have come a long way to make the user interface is easier for the average user. Normally all the updates are free, but sometimes they like to try to get you to upgrade from your current plan and charge you. I've only seen that happen once. I didn't think that was cool, but I didn't go for the upgrade. I think they realized that wasn't a very good move. It may have upset a lot of people. Review Source RC Renee C. Owner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If I had a dollar for every time this product had saved one of my computers, I'd be rich." March 25, 2018 5.0 This saves and cleans my computers, all of them, from every beastie out there, and has never failed me, even when every other product has. Pros This software catches and fixes just about everything, including what my antivirus programs won't. It' been around for years, and is reliable. It's cleaned malware and viruses for me that other malware programs didn't, and it's saved me from doing clean ups by hand. I've used their chameleon program to save my laptop when it became infected with a virus that blocked antivirus and malware programs from installing, and cut off my internet access and ability to download fixes. It can protect itself from being uninstalled. And their premium program runs and protects you in real time and is well worth the money. In all the years that I've been running Malwarebytes, I'm not sure that I've ever been successfully infiltrated on a computer that I've had running their premium program. Cons The customer service is slow and lackluster. I had to contact them a few months ago about some of my subscription licenses. They took days in between responses, and the responses were not helpful, and the reps closed out my ticket without solving my issue. It took three weeks and multiple tries at contacting them. There is no phone support. When you purchase product licenses, they do not all show up on your account on their website, so you need to be really careful and write down the product keys somewhere and keep them. All that said, that was the first time in probably the better part of a decade that I've EVER had to contact them, so it's generally not at issue. I'm guessing that the employees are all out diligently fighting malware, and not doing customer support.

The software is user-friendly for me,, it is very easy to use. Pros Scanning runs extremely fast (test takes less than three minutes) and a nice chain link shows you exactly where the center of the file scan process is. The antivirus scanner provides a comprehensive scheduling tool for scanning control. Immediate popup notifications allow you to make quick decisions, and the program itself will offer what to do with the threat. Cons The program did not offer enough anti-virus tools before, which has changed since the last version and I have nothing to complain about.

I even had a virus on my phone that I couldn't remove, it was installed and I had to uninstall it several times a day. It was exhausting and very annoying. Only Malwarebytes managed to eliminate it completely. Therefore, I decided to buy the license and have it on all my devices, to avoid those inconveniences. Nowadays, electronic devices have a great importance in our lives and jobs, it is better to protect them and keep them safe. Pros It's my favorite software when it comes to the protection and security of my devices. It offers excellent protection in real time, its database is always updated. Its free version is complete enough to keep my devices clean of viruses and malwares. When I scan my PC it doesn't affected, it doesn't slow down. The interface is very easy to use, even a child would know how to use it. You can customize the scan and you can also automate the tasks. It's great that it can block malicious websites and another positive point is that it appears in the background so that it doesn't interfere with what you are doing on the PC. It has a fairly optimized and lightweight application. Cons This software has saved my Smartphone! I have no complaints... Wait! I have one. When you use the free version, every day reminds you that you can buy the software. That's what they want you to do, so that's ok. I only have positive words about Malwarebytes. Review Source BB Brendan B. Sales Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple Way to Stop Phishing and to Clean Files" May 9, 2024 5.0 Pros Malwarebytes has prevented some potentially bad things from happening. It is a simple software you can leave alone and it does most of the work for you. It is a first line of defense that makes you question "do I really need to visit this site?" It does the trick and prevents a lot of phishing from occurring. Cons We download a lot of assets and data from several dozen vendors. There are some vendors that use trackers, and Malwarebytes dings webpages that we need to get to. It's just one extra step to get through, but it happens often enough to where it can be a nuisance. Review Source Praveen N. Electronic engineer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the best malware removal tools" May 5, 2020 5.0 Malware bytes is a great tool to protect your computer from threats such as malware and other viruses. It offers great features and I was able to use it to detect viruses that were not being detected by other virus guards. The user interface is great and is very straight forward, compared to most of the competition. If you want to get the most benefits however, you may need to consider getting the paid version. Pros Malware bytes has been my go to antivirus software for over two years. My laptop was infected with several malware and adware which kept interfering with using my browser and I tried scanning with a number of virus guards. Only Malware bytes was able to detect and remove the threats successfully. The plus point was that the software was free to use for a week. After the trial expired, it let me keep using the software with a few features such as realtime link scanning turned off. Even with these features turned off, I am able perform deep scans of my computer and have access to all essential features that I personally need. Cons It would be nice to have a few features like realtime scanning enabled so I do not have to manually scan my computer in the free version.

Manager Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A complete malware prevention solution" June 20, 2023 4.0 This has been my go-to tool for maintaining the integrity of my office's computer systems. This works in conjunction with the built-in antivirus in Windows and easily outperforms it while consuming considerably fewer system resources. Pros A lovely chain link indicates exactly where the center of the file scan process is, and scanning is really quick (the test takes less than three minutes). An extensive scheduling function is offered by the antivirus scanner for control over scanning. You may make decisions right away thanks to immediate popup notifications, and the application will advise you on how to deal with the threat. Cons Prior to the latest edition, the application did not include adequate anti-virus tools; however, this has now improved, and I have no complaints. Review Source JM Jack M.

May 25, 2023 5.0 Overall Malwarebytes for Business gave us the option to keep our company's data secure and safe. Pros Malwarebytes for Business provides the best internet security for our company ,it makes detecting threats and removing them much easier.The ability to add or remove specific domain to keep it on the denied list. Cons The pricing basically is pretty much expensive when it comes to individual plan , but as a company we had no troubles at all with that. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer ASEA Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best anti-malware protection at a great price" March 25, 2019 5.0 I use Malwarebytes on all of my computers, both business and personal, and haven't had any viruses or malware issues since. Highly recommend! Pros I love Malwarebytes! My brother-in-law who works in IT first introduced me because Malwarebytes focuses on detecting the most current malware on the internet, ie. malware, hackers, viruses, ransomware, exploits, trojans, backdoors, adware, spyware.... It's quick to download and the user interface is clean and very easy to use for people of all skill levels. Malwarebytes has incredible active protection so that malware is detected before it is even downloaded to your computer, but it also deletes anything that is already on your hard drive and has a quarantine function so any malware that can't be deleted at least can't interact with your hard drive. You can't beat the low cost and high-quality protection. Cons I have seen Malwarebytes flag software that I use frequently and know is safe, but not often. If that happened frequently, that could get annoying, but that's a sign that Malwarebytes is incredibly sensitive and thorough. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer System admin Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Malware bytes from ITpoint of view " March 22, 2020 5.0 Malware bytes is a software I know I can count on. When I see results when the scan is finish I do not have to question weather this is legit or not. In my job I have to use only software I can depend on. Malware bytes is that software. Plus the price is great too. Pros I love that is does not constantly have popups all the time. The pop ups it does have are when it needs your attention. Not just annoying pop ups. Cons The latest update with the new gui interface and that on install now it requires you to go through a activation process. Before it would install fully and then you can choose to add the pay features and so on. It was easier that way and no I feel like why do I have to go through all these new steps on install.

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.

Dental Hygienist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, Yet Effective and Powerful Anti-Virus Software" September 19, 2019 5.0 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!

Marketing Manager ¿ Technology Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Must Have on PC" February 6, 2019 5.0 Great software, keeps PCs clean from malware and easy to use. For the paid version it runs without you even knowing it's there which is awesome. Definitely recommended for PC users both personal and business use. Pros Malwarebytes is one of those applications that belongs on every PC. It's freemium, so you can use it for free with some limitations - specifically no scheduled or real-time scans. The software is SO easy to use - there's very little to figure out. The interface is clean and intuitive. Scans are pretty quick and while I've rarely had any issues with malware on my machines, I do get the sense that the scan is robust and in-depth. I also love that this is not subscription-based software. Cons While I have nothing negative to say about the PC version, I'm not so enamoured with the mobile version of Malwarebytes. It does have a minor impact on battery, and seems to require a separate purchase to get all of the features. I also find that on my Android device the scans for new apps are somewhat intrusive - so I uninstalled the app but kept the desktop version. Review Source Rajkumar A T.

July 16, 2019 4.0 It has become one of my favourite softwares and security solutions. I am lucky to have a lifetime license of it. Cheers! Pros As my title states, it is much more than your traditional Anti-Malware, or an anti-virus. It has always new features getting added to it, and new modules being integrated, making it grow and become better with every release (apart from the usual software bugs). Cons I wish they bring back the lifetime upgrades licensing. Also, it is hard to make an account i.e register on their official forum. I wish they reply more fast to support tickets (I know they have plenty of support tickets to solve being such a large brand now). I wish the software was less heavy on resources. Switched from [SUPERAntiSpyware](https://www.capterra.com/p/59090/SUPERAntiSpyware/) It wasn't totally a switch but rather a shift in preference. I still like and use SuperAntiSpyware, having purchased its lifetime license, too. Review Source Jared M. W. Graduate Research And Teaching Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best service out there, more important than anti-virus" July 3, 2018 5.0 Superior to any anti-virus software. Even the free version is great. This is truly a must-have for anyone. Pros I started with Malwarebytes free service. After about a year, I updated to the paid service to get the real-time protection. Honestly, everyone I know with any computer knowledge uses Malwarebytes. It is simply the best service of its kind. Even the free service is quite good, but the paid service is very inexpensive so I figured why not support a good company. Truth be told, malware screening is far more important these days than anti-virus software. You can get rid of Kaspersky or McAfee. Those things just slow down your system and actually create more hackable vulnerabilities. Malwarebytes is small and lightweight. It will keep you protected without annoying the hell out you like those anti-virus programs do. Cons No complaints. Malewarebytes is great, although you should not rely on it (or any one program) solely. I would also recommend using browser add-ons like Privacy Badger and HTTPS Everywhere, as well as a VPN service.
