Malwarebytes protects the computer by identifying malware and runs in the background. It is easy to use when using other programs and does not jam the computer the way other programs tend to. It's also free, so you can give it a try before purchasing a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Malwarebytes does not offer real-time protection. You will need other lines of defense to protect your computer (Macbooks have good security. but Windows users may have to purchase other options such as System Mechanic). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Malwarebytes runs in the background without slowing down my computer. I wouldn't even know it is running except for the occational notification that it has successfully blocked something from gaining access to my machine. FYI : you can manage notifications.

I have not found any aspects of the software that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of access when running a quick scan. On MacOS, it provides an icon on the menu bar, where I can run quick scans easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much, if anything, disliked about Malwarebytes. It would be nice to add extra functionality to clean up the user's machine and provide system optimizations based on the operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Malwarebytes since it had the red logo. It has always been easy to use and great as a second opinion scanner to an antivirus. It also has real-time protection if you decide to pay for a license that works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When using real-time protection, I have found it quite heavy on lower-end systems, forcing me to use a different solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thorough checks involving pretty much every element underpinning the system. Checks are quite quick and comprehensive. The log feature is useful, handy for tracking previous malware problems. This is something I run every month if not most weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rootkit checks have to be enabled manually, but once done that's fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I currently use Microsoft Dffender 365 as my Internet Protection but I depend on Malewarebytes to screen for a deeper level of protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's been pretty good at checking for malware, but it likes to flag non-malware and quarantine it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The minor issue is that it tends to flag too much non-malware as malware. I'm an independent software developer, and it often flags programs that I've written as malware, when they most definitely are not.

The major issue is that when it decides a reboot is necessary, it flashes up a notification and immediately reboots. This means that I've lost a lot of work since I'm not given a chance to save what I'm working on. Even worse, I use VirtualBox to do the development, so when MalwareBytes removes, it occasionally trashes the VM that I was using. This has cost me nearly a week of lost time in the past when I not only had to restore the VM and recreate the lost source code.

I've complained to their support about this, but was never answered. I'm definitely not going to renew unless they fix this issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
