    "Good app. Do what some apps dont."

    June 17, 2013  |   By driftarz

    Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75

    Pros

    Found what i've installed that i know that shouldnt be installed in my computer but i ignored it. Hehe. tried other app but didnt detect that exe file. Good one MBAM.

    Cons

    No cons so far, since im using free version. Should make this app look a bit nicer. bold fonts and stylish look. few bytes for its look shouldnt be a problem. :P

    Summary

    Totally recommended. Try the free version. Buy it to run automatically like real time protections and auto update. Free version, you just need to do it manually.

    "Does the Job"

    June 15, 2013  |   By dangnad1

    Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75

    Pros

    Efficiently finds and eliminates nasty trojans.

    Cons

    None. Of course I cannot compare its removal capabilities with anything else other than Windows Defender of which it is no worse.

    Summary

    Hooray for MalwareBytes. I was infected with the nastiest virus I've ever seen, the Sirefef (beware of Irish sites that carry it but I think it was written in Russia). I thought all hope was gone. Malwarebytes found and removed Sirefef but to my astonishment it also found the Zeus/Zbot virus on my machine. How long was it there, what did it do? Anyway, Malwarebytes got rid of the Zbot also.

    "Old Version was better!"

    June 14, 2013  |   By rascalz98

    Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75

    Pros

    User friendly
    Fast
    Low effect on system resources
    Easy to download and install

    Cons

    Doesn't find many rootkits or new viruses

    Once you try the free trial you cannot reinstall the free version.

    Free trial too short

    Missing the protection I need to pay for and use as my regularly anti-virus/malware.

    Summary

    Use only as a complement to existing antivirus software, not as a replacement.

    Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75

    Pros

    Using the paid version and love it. It has saved my butt many times by blocking malicious sites or files. Well worth the money, doesn't seem to slow down my system.

    Cons

    Interface is kind of old fashioned - but then, so am I.

    "Excellent very special experience"

    June 12, 2013  |   By hbdmesq

    Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.75

    Pros

    2 computers were working very poorly [W7]
    I have 2 good "cleanesr" and more than that [advanced system care and tuneup]
    After trying again MWB [and honestly also closing some start up programmes the computers work like new
    [click start...type msconfig [in search box].... in system configuration which then opens, click on start up and remove the "v" from programs you think that are not vital[don this with a tiny bit of knowledge]
    Both these actions made my computers like new........i suppose also the mwb [anti malware] did its job

    Cons

    none [do a total scan while you are asleep]] can take 4 hours!]

    Summary

    very happy with it
