"It works well."
Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.62
Pros
I am a volunteer tech for our computer club of over 1,600 members. I routinely install Malwarebytes, SUPERAntiSpyware and Spybot Search & Destroy on heavily infected computers. As a team they will generally clean the most heavily infected machine. I then run them in Safe Mode. I am amused and somewhat perplexed by the coments of those that have posted that they run two anti-virus programs. That's a no-no.
Cons
It does seem to be a bit slow, but on my own computer, I start it as I retire for the night.
Summary
Most will find that the last one to run will find the least number of infected files or none.

"Too busy. Convoluted frontpage. Not compatible with AVG"
Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.62
Pros
Does not interfere behind the scene. Seems to be effective as I have had not problems, however, I still run AVG by not using portions of Malwarebytes.
Cons
Unfriendly
Summary
I keep it because I paid for it and it is not causing me harm. I still don't fully trust it.

"Reliable, powerful and fast"
Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.62
Pros
Catches every bug that you may have, it works non-intrusively and you can use the windows task scheduler to launch it.
Cons
It does not provide a realtime shield, the major cause for system slowdown in most antivirus suites. I suggest trying WinPatrol for a good compromise in that area, or stick to WinDefender.

"The program does what it promises without fanfare!"
Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.62
Pros
The first time I ran Malwarebytes it found three pieces of malware that Norton 360 had routinely missed for several weeks. I feel much more secure having Malwarebytes on the job for me as a backup to Norton.
Cons
After several weeks of use I have yet to find anything to complain about.

"Fantastic, just great"

Pros

Cons
nothing that comes to mind

"I like the "pro-active""
Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.62
Pros
Easy download, easy operation and update.
Cons
The price is a little much in my oponion.
Summary
I am running 2 malware and anti-virus programs on my PC now. I will have to make a choice. Because running more than 2 slows down the speed and preformance.

"For what it does it's top notch."
Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.62
Pros
Scans thoroughly and quickly.
Cons
No automatic scanning.
-
"It's o.k., but....."
Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.62
Pros
I'm afraid, not so much "pros" from me.
Cons
It does find a few things here and there, mostly harmless tracking cookies, but very few really serious malware software. If I run Advanced System Care or Super Anti-spyware immediately after it, they usually find a lot of stuff that Malwarebytes didn't find. This seems to be a consistent pattern, so even though I do have it installed on my computer, I don't rely on it for my primary protection.
Summary
Probably good to have, but there is better software available to do the job.

"Beware!Played havoc on my computer"
Version: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.62
Pros
Worked good for one month until they wanted me to buy it
Cons
I didn't buy the software. When I uninstalled it and restarted my computer it had changed 500%. Something is running constantly in the background, programs esp browsers take incredibly long time to open. I removed malwarebytes from my registry, that helped some. But I still haven't gotten my computer back to par. I think they should pay for my computer
Summary
Cnet and malwarebytes you owe me a new computer. I cannot restore my computer to the working condiition it was in before I installed malwarebytes.....beware the "free" stuff folks!
