Now Malwarebytes wants to be your browser extension, your VPN; it has fingers in everything. After downloading Malwarebytes, my system performance tanked. It got so bad that Malwarebytes was the only thing running, and nothing else could run. My computer just froze. I ended up having to reformat my laptop, which was working perfectly fine before this! My computer slowed and eventually crashed, which coincided with switching from McAfee to Malwarebytes. I have Malwarebytes premium running on another, older laptop, which works OK, but still, much much more of a CPU hog than it used to be, which is so disappointing. Even my husband and uncle, who used to do Malwarebytes as default, were pretty upset that the latest version was so heavy on the computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has long been a debunked myth on how Mac computers are immune to virus and malwares. Certainly wasn't true in my case as my laptop mysteriously acting up by showing its storage is full out of a sudden. Upon reading some online recommendations, I decided to download the Home/Personal version of Malwarebytes and immediately started scanning. It was able to find the culprit and removed it from my computer. Since then, I continue to have it running in the background as a measure to protect myself from similar annoying predicament.

Nothing really. Probably just slight issue of needing to stop doing any concurrent activity during the scheduled scan as it is quite resource intensive. In any case, it is still a necessary exercise to conduct in order to offer protection and I could easily leave my computer alone for 10-20 minutes when the scanning is executed.

I was using Malwarebytes to scan my personal pc occasionally. It is quick in scanning the systems. There are three different modes of scanning systems we can choose from. It also doesn't take much CPU resources to run in systems. We can also schedule a virus scan if we want to have a check periodically. I have also used the web protection option to avoid visiting phishing sites.VPN also comes in handy when I want to surf the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would have been good if they have provided real-time protection for the free version of Malwarebytes. And there is also less customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
