CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a surprisingly effective freeware antimalware tool. It's a relatively speedy malware remover, with the quick scan taking about 10 minutes. The heuristics engine proved on multiple computers during empirical testing that it was capable of determining the difference between false positives and dangerous apps.
The app has some nice features rolled in, too. It supports multiple drive scanning, context menu options including a scan-on-demand for individual files, and the FileAssassin option under the More Tools section for removing locked files. The interface is simple, but pleasant-looking and well-organized. Tabs live just below the oversized logo, with few options per tab to keep down the clutter. The installation process was fast enough, but interestingly offered up the well-kept changelog and an instant definition file update.
Do note that the real-time protection is restricted to the paid version, as is the scheduler for updates and scans. Overall, though, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a responsive malware remover that does what it should with a minimum of fuss.

Version: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.14
Pros: For over a year I've been plaqued with all sorts of malicious spyware and malware. My computer crashed so often, I was rebuilding it on an average of 4 times a month. I searched everywhere for a program that would aleviate the problem. Most removed everything except the most virulent of the malware which were the primary culprits killing my laptop, which they couldn't even see. A few others were able to find the malware despite how well hidden they were from system's operations, but failed to remove ALL traces of the problem and as soon as I rebooted my laptop was infected again. The rest were so complicated to use, I actually wiped my own system trying to use them to clean. I finally tried Malwarebytes. It not only detected over a dozen problems on my system, but quickly and easily removed them all.
Cons: I've got no complaints about this one. Ever since I installed it, it's going on a month now and I haven't had to rebuild my laptop once. Malwarebytes saved my internet surfing experience and sanity.
