I believe the upgrade only ran me around 25 dollars (US) but it was well worth it. It then lists them and offers a 'right-click' link option which leads to a more thorough explanation of what they are, what they do as well as describing how dangerous or docile they are and then offers the option to remove them (or not to). exe files for the new programs.Īnother nice thing is that it detects many remote and 'seemingly innocuous' Adware programs that many other anti-malware programs miss. It consequently caught about 10-15 or so 'baddies' while I was trying to test the new freeware programs onto my computer as well as immediately warning me while I was in the process of downloading the installation. I first tried using Malwarebytes freeware version and afterwards I upgraded to Malwarebytes Anti-Malware pro.

I actually test freeware programs as a hobby on the side and I probably download and install around a dozen or so of new full applications andor utility programs to test out each month so I have to be careful. The program works really wonderfully and has served me well for a while now. I have used the Malwarebytes "Pro version" very successfully (but the freeware version is sufficient). Quick and thorough, I'm very impressed with this program. Scanning is quicker than the other freeware malware detector I have installed. The interface is clean and easy to understand.

The program prompts for an update of definitions when started - easy to do. I'm glad to report that the problem has not returned. No reboot was asked for as with the antivirus, and repeated scans turned up nothing. A couple of seconds later the computer was clean. It picked up 74 infected files and recommended they be quarantined. Reading the recommendations of SnapFiles users I decided to try Malware Bytes Anti Malware. I went online and the problem was still there. During the boot scan, several more infected files were detected and again (on prompting) sent to the Ches. It picked up a couple of infected files, sent them to the "chest", and called for a computer restart and boot scan of all the files on the computer. Suspecting a malware infection I scanned the computer using a freeware malware detector I had installed. Clicking on the boxes redirected the browser to gambling and porn sites and the like. When the mouse was hovered over the underlined words, a small advertising box would pop up. I had a problem crop up out of the blue with random words on a page of text being underlined, forming hyperlinks. The software also has a feature called Chameleon, which attempts to get round viruses that tries to block or disable anti virus software programs.įinally, Malwarebytes doesn't seem to take up much processor percentage or RAM when on startup or running. As for the free version, get it downloaded and used, you cannot possibly ever regret it. It should be mentioned here that the premium version is not free. I have upgraded to the premium version which gives great real time protection. The latest version perhaps doesn't have as easy or simple an interface as previous versions however, this is evened up by the interface being more self explaining which in my opinion makes it better to understand for the novice and more informative for the intermediate user. The full scan taking about 45 to 50 minutes on my laptop system.

I am now using it on Windows 10 and up to now it seems to work perfectly. Simple to use but most importantly, highly effective. I started using this software years ago and can only say that it has become better over the years.
