    I used Malwarebytes for two years and then both computers crashed. I got a new computer which came with a different software I like so I contacted Malwarebytes to cancel. I had to do so by email because there is NO phone support. Then they went and renewed after I cancelled. We went through this process 2 more times. They send a letter saying they’ll cancel after I email them saying to stop then go ahead and renew. What’s more when they had an update, the computers for me and my sibling got nasty viruses and had to go to repair shop.

    I did not authorized this company to automatically renew my PayPal account for automatic renewal. I was charged $43.44 which I disputed with PayPal. They put a pretend tracking number to trick PayPal. I called their customer service who hung up on me and then upon recall actually asked me for my PayPal account ID and password to get into my account. Obviously that was not happening. They then advised me they were going to charge me 30$ to cancel my account. There should not be a 30$ fee to cancel something that was never initiated. This company is nothing but crooks trying to take whatever they can from you.

    It scans fast, blocks malicious sites automatically & you can adjust for a deep scan or quick scan. You can set it to scan at the same time every day. It is always running in the background.

    I used the free version for about a year and upgraded to the paid version to get automatic scanning features after hearing about the ransomware attacks. Both versions worked well. It blocked many potential malware sites, and I have never had a virus attack since I started using it. I run Microsoft Windows Defender on the same PC without any conflict.

    When I have malware problems, I call my provider who can fix the problem in very little time. I am thankful for the service I get from my Apple helper who can fix any problem in such a short time.

    Malwarebytes seem too sensitive at times but I would rather they stay that way rather than allowing virus/malware intrusion. I have been using them for years and so far I am pleased with their performance.

    Whenever I'm using a computer for the first time that does not have antivirus software, I go ahead and install Malwarebytes. It was one of the first programs I installed when searching for free antivirus software and it hasn't let me down since. It's quick to scan downloaded files and anytime I have come across an issue it has been able to handle it.

    The best antivirus is the one that takes care of your system with a minimum of effort on your part. Malwarebytes does that, and notifies you when you need to update or there is someone trying to hack your system. I have had excellent results from this software at a reasonable price.

    I bought a lifetime membership years ago and haven't looked back. I have not had a virus since that time. It's easy to use. I set it up for a daily virus scan in the middle of the night while I sleep. Nothing could be easier. It even warns me if I venture into murky waters. Before Malwarebytes I had tried Norton but nothing protects like Malwarebytes.
