Malwarebytes may be a decent antivirus, BUT uninstalling it is pure torture. The program blocks you from removing it directly, forcing you to download a separate removal tool from Malwarebytes just to get rid of it. On top of that, it slows down your PC noticeably.

What is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware?
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a security software that defends against online threats using artificial intelligence and machine learning. It offers round-the-clock protection for PCs, files, and personal data. It can identify and neutralize both known and new threats.
The software includes Web Protection to block online scams, infected websites, and malicious links, including phishing scams. It also features Brute Force Protection to prevent Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) attacks by blocking unauthorized access to your computer.
The software has a Ransomware Protection feature to defend against malware that locks down PCs and holds files hostage. It uses less CPU resources than previous versions and has a user-friendly interface that allows customization of protection, scheduling scans, adjusting protection layers, and choosing scan modes. Its detection engine, the Malwarebytes Katana Engine, identifies more threats in less time with less impact on performance. It also provides detailed information about identified threats.

Comments and Reviews
Although Malwarebytes premium finds some legitimate issues while browsing web that other products have not alerted, the real time protection significantly impacts performance despite exclusion rules. In other words, you absolutely do not want to run this product while gaming or developing (my code changes take twice as long to refresh with this product enabled so I have to turn it off every morning).
The free version must be installed, there is no portable version. The nag to "update" (not upgrade to PRO) is very irritating and in spite of settings I still get nagged. Ridiculous considering free version does not auto-scan, you have to pay for that What MBAM really mean is "upgrade" Goodbye MBAM, this is the end of a v.long relationship, I don't like being nagged
Malwarebytes may be a decent antivirus, BUT uninstalling it is pure torture. The program blocks you from removing it directly, forcing you to download a separate removal tool from Malwarebytes just to get rid of it. On top of that, it slows down your PC noticeably.
The user interface kills it. Annoying to set exclusions for power user tools. Also I configured scans how I want, but it updated or something and wiped all that out. I'm done with this company.
I always run Free versions of Malwarebytes, Adwcleaner , Diag and RogueKiller in that order and always have clean machines.
Oh Malwarebytes, what have you become? First they removed lifetime licences with subscriptions. After not using the program for awhile, I retried and wow, it's changed. And not for the better.
Premium trial is good and all, but nearly every site 3/10 sites I visit has something getting blocked. It seems MB has gone the scareware route and flags nearly anything as potentially malicious, and never removes it from their database even if it's a clear false positive.
Then there's the ads and nags. They seriously put popups in their program. The one good anti-malware program is now no better than Avast or Norton with their annoying notifications begging you to upgrade to paid sub. It's that practice that means I never will!
It's virus scanner is still good though, so I suggest using it for that, then turning the program off (did I mention this thing is now a resource hog?). Very sad to see such a good program go this way.
Great for scanning your system once month.
