Malwarebytes is one of the most secure and popular antivirus software programs in the world. Designed for use by both home users and businesses, it offers advanced protection against viruses, malware, spyware, ransomware, adware and other threats, combining a proactive approach with next-generation detection technologies that go far beyond the applications of traditional antivirus software. It also presents an intuitive interface, real-time protection and smart scanning.

Protect your computer in real time

Malwarebytes is able to block attacks before they can cause damage, thanks to its behavioral and AI-based detection engines. This allows you to intercept zero-day threats, ransomware, browser hijackers and other sophisticated malware before they can be executed. For the tool to be able to prevent all these threats before they can have an effect, you will need to activate the 24-hour protection from the main panel. You will be able to see if it's active or not as you can check the status from the main menu.

Scan every inch of your PC

Malwarebytes scans are fast and highly customizable. The tool allows you to perform quick, full or scheduled scans, with the ability to detect hidden malware, potentially dangerous files, malicious registry keys and suspicious apps. To initiate a scan you must first select where you want to scan by marking the folders you want to be checked and wait for the process to finish to find out exactly what state your computer is in.

Compatible with other antiviruses for combined protection

If you use other antivirus programs already, Malwarebytes is the perfect complement. This tool can be deployed as a second layer of defense or as your main protection. This level of compatibility is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their traditional antivirus but reinforce it with a more advanced shield for more modern threats.

If you are looking for a good antivirus that protects you against all threats, download Malwarebytes and keep your PC protected.

This software is the festival of false positives. Moreover, the browser extension takes the CPU to 100%. Software to forget.

Everyone knows that 15 days are not enough to test a pro version, which turns into a "quick" revenue drive, without knowing the issue or what fails afterward. ...Therefore, we would need about 3 month...See more
