Malwarebytes Anti Malware review

There are loads of malware removers on the net today and most of them are lightweight applications, which usually means they’re fast and don’t have many features. One such lightweight application is Malwarebytes’ Anti-malware.

Like all these similar pieces of software, Malwarebytes is fast and doesn’t use a lot of resources, but unlike most, Malwarebytes’ Anti-malware provides live protection and full scans for all drives. Another great thing about this program is that it’s database is updated on a regular basis – at least every two days, which is already very often for such a program, but sometimes they update even more frequently.

Malwarebytes’ Anti-malware is somewhat customizable and has several extra utilities for manual malware removal. The program is available in many languages and works just fine with other anti-viral and anti-spyware software.

There are a few drawbacks, however: live protection comes only with the registered version and, well, it’s still a lightweight program, so it can’t be compared with the more serious software out there.

Malwarebytes Anti-malware is a great little tool and quite capable for it’s size.

Features:

  • Support for Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.
  • Light speed quick scanning.
  • Ability to perform full scans for all drives.
  • Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Protection Module. (requires registration)
  • Database updates released at least once every two days.
  • Quarantine to hold threats and restore them at your convenience.
  • Ignore list for both the scanner and Protection Module.
  • Settings to enhance your Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware performance.
  • A small list of extra utilities to help remove malware manually.
  • Multi-lingual support.
  • Works together with other anti-malware utilities.
  • Command line support for quick scanning.
  • Context menu integration to scan files on demand.

Awesome =D this really helped me delete those stupid false anti-virus programs. We should really start a petition to get rid of all rogue and fake anti-virus programs.

3. by Guest. 2009-06-06 00:06:53
very good product

4. by Guest. 2009-05-25 21:05:38
On the free manual Quick Scan Mbam just caught PrivacyCenter Rogueware that wouldn't Uninstall and that Windows Defender didn't even detect. I'm not too savvy but that's impressed me so I'm going to check out the paid version

5. by Guest. 2009-05-20 07:05:48
Its pretty flippin awesome. Highly recommended!

6. by Guest. 2009-05-18 10:05:37

Great Virus Remover, removed Trojan Vundo from my PC in minutes! 5/5!!!

10. by Guest. 2009-04-27 12:04:40
The best I've found. Was infected by winpc antivirus and tried every other spyware. avast, spybot, norton and spyware doctor. This was the only one that got rid of it. Highly recommend.

11. by Guest. 2009-04-23 22:04:07
It helped remove Spyware protect 2009, which was really annoying fake antispyware.

12. by Guest. 2009-04-23 19:04:02
It detects about 100 infected files and then removes them, but after using my computer for a while they all return each time. I need something better.

13. by Guest. 2009-04-23 04:04:22
Nice & effective anti malware Free Download PC Security Anti Malware Software

14. by Guest. 2009-04-16 21:04:23
This programme is good it removed all the viruses i got from downloading mcafee. AVG found the viruses and claimed to remove them but that didnt happen because they kept comin back while this programme removed my 30 trojans and my system running normally again..thank god!!!!

15. by Guest. 2009-04-11 09:04:56
Detected so many trojans and adware that Eset Smart Security 4 missed.

16. by Guest. 2009-03-31 14:03:20
Thank you Excellent tool Helping me removed Antivirus 2009 trojan so easy

17. by Guest. 2009-03-31 09:03:12
why does it take so long to scan .its took over 24 hours to scan my pc somthing wrong there

18. by Guest. 2009-03-31 00:03:08
Malwarebytes removed "Anti-Virus Number-1" -- a very nasty fake anti-virus program that's hard to remove manually -- plus the trojan that probably installed it. Clean and easy.

19. by Guest. 2009-03-28 21:03:37
Man i was sceptical at first, but im extremely glad that i used it. My Internet is much faster now thanks to it.

20. by Guest. 2009-03-26 14:03:12
Got rid of some ridiculous spyware from newsgroups. Cleans out antivirus 08 and 09 ! i stand behind this product . As a tech myself . its pretty good and beats out spysweeper and spybot in my opinion

21. by Guest. 2009-03-06 09:03:35
Got rid of antivirus 360 when norton 360 said nothing was wrong with my computer. Called Norton for help they wanted $100.00 to connect to my computer and "try to help".

22. by Guest. 2009-02-28 10:02:50
im not sure whether to download it, as there are so many false anti-spyware programs that actually spyware themselves

23. by Guest. 2009-02-25 07:02:39
I I have spyware doctor and webroot app's. Webroot detected the trojan, but crash my system when it tried to remove the virus. I ran across Malwarebytes in a forum and tried it. Great tool, it removed the trojan. If you have other tools still download this tool and use it. It is Awesome...

24. by Guest. 2009-02-24 11:02:14
Only program that removed Vundo trojan for me. Awesome free program.

25. by Guest. 2009-02-24 07:02:10
yea its very good programe like every one said

26. by Guest. 2009-02-21 15:02:54
Very good program. I use it in conjunction with Avira Antivir Personal.

27. by Guest. 2009-02-16 07:02:21
Be careful. I used it to remove this malware from my son's laptop a nd it worked fine. I tried the same with my desktop and I had to reestablish my Windows certificate...must have wiped out an indicator that tells Windows you own that copy of the OS.

28. by Guest. 2009-02-15 16:02:37
does it work

29. by Guest. 2009-02-15 14:02:14
Most uesfull program ive ever used (to remove baddies) id say

30. by Guest. 2009-02-11 12:02:46
Great program! Got rid of that nasty "secure guard 2009" that my other virus protection didn't recognize! Highly recommended.

31. by Guest. 2009-02-06 08:02:19
blah

32. by Guest. 2009-02-04 12:02:57
lol i had 339 viruses on my pc, 330 of them were all different types of trojan variants, but this took ALL of them off!

33. by Guest. 2009-02-03 08:02:52
It's a great programme and all but is doesn't seem to remove "Antivirus 2009" from my computer. I'm still getting pop ups to scan my pc with Antivirus 2009 :(. Can someone help me? grtz

34. by Guest. 2009-01-29 18:01:25
Great little programme i would recomend this

35. by Guest. 2009-01-29 12:01:14
Did a great job of wiping out some Vundo variants I had on my machine. Interface is straight forward and the systems scans are reasonably quick

36. by Guest. 2009-01-26 11:01:02
This program is the dogs! Best spyware, anti virus program out there. all hail its creators.

37. by Guest. 2009-01-16 02:01:17
I threw everything I had at a horrible infestation of the Vundo and other trojans. Nothing worked until I stumbled across this application. It is now in my arsenal to use with any issues. This is a great program! I second this.....................A GREAT PROGRAM WITH NO FUSS!!

38. by Guest. 2009-01-15 09:01:42
The review says "it can’t be compared with the more serious software out there." That's true, because this little program is better! Those big boys did nothing for my infection. Malwarebytes cleaned it out. GET IT NOW!

39. by Guest. 2009-01-14 20:01:14
Great Anti-Virus program! The best you can get out there. Got rid of a few trojans that Norton couldn't find! :O

40. by Guest. 2009-01-06 19:01:09
im back again, saying that it saved me yet AGAIN U NEED TO GET THIS PROGRAM SPREAD THE WORD also, never download an antivirus program that just pops up in ur browser, research EVERYTHING you see.

41. by Guest. 2009-01-05 11:01:11
It killed my MS Antivirus 2009 problem when nothing else would!

42. by Guest. 2009-01-04 12:01:54

better with antivir

44. by Guest. 2008-12-31 22:12:02
Jesus wow nice nice product get this wow.

45. by Guest. 2008-12-31 18:12:31
This little program is a lifesaver, got rid of a really nasty Vundo trojan infection that Avast! and other programs couldn't get rid of, and it's free to boot :) A must have program for anyone who goes on the internet for sure.

46. by Guest. 2008-12-31 11:12:35
This got rid of Spyware Guard 2008 when nothing else I tried would - and it did it easily and quickly, after me trying everything else for a WEEK. It's Freeware - and I'm going to purchase it.

47. by Guest. 2008-12-26 19:12:50
i am simply amazed....it saved my computer from antivirus 2009, when STOPzilla, Spyware Doctor, AVG, and OneCare could not. I didn't know if it had worked at first, truly, but my computers back....and im super happy...unless you have a deathwish for your computer....get this pronto

48. by Guest. 2008-12-26 10:12:19
Thnx too Anti Malware..... my computer is Save ....... thank u very much...

49. by Guest. 2008-12-24 21:12:54
Highly Recomended. Saved my computer. Period. None of my other programs norton or webroot could get rid my issues. This did.

50. by Guest. 2008-12-22 22:12:42
Just removed antivirus 2009. Recommended by tech at McAfee.

51. by Guest. 2008-12-22 13:12:57
It is a very great tool. I was infected with trojans and bugs. I tried Webroot Spy Sweeper, PC Doctor, and Norton Anti Virus. None of them worked until i got this program. I think anyone who is trying to save their computer should use this.

52. by Guest. 2008-12-22 13:12:58
It is a very good removing spyware tool. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is trying to remove any spyware from their computer.

53. by Guest. 2008-12-21 17:12:16
It found 39 objects. Acording to the program it has removed them all three times I have run the program today. A complete waste of time. Did nothing at all!

54. by Guest. 2008-12-19 12:12:31
This is the one which removed Antivirus 2009, all others like spyware doctor, adaware, etc failed. I highly recomeds as the the life saver after spending and strugling a lot with others.

55. by Guest. 2008-12-16 21:12:52
People.. this is NOT a real program.. i just read it in the news that it's acutally a kind of spam that gets rid of like other ones but then hacks ur computer later on and causes more damage..

56. by Guest. 2008-12-15 11:12:35
Amazing! Saved my computer! Very pleased

57. by Guest. 2008-12-14 10:12:38
Fabulous software. I has a virus / malware infection that Spybot S&D, AVG Free and Ad aware could not cope with disinfectinfing. The free version of this software found and disinfected and sorted the problem. I could not recommend it more highly.

58. by Guest. 2008-12-13 21:12:46
This is an amazing software program! It was a life saver for my computer! Thank you so much.

59. by Guest. 2008-12-12 04:12:08
Great product would have saved me no end of time (after unsucessfully trying Norton 360 manual trojan removal instructions)

60. by Guest. 2008-12-12 00:12:31
This thing is a life saver, I was going to have to pay a technician $60 to $80 an hour to fix what this program did in 15mins, this is definitely the best anti virus protection software I've seen, I'm definitely purchasing the full version.

61. by Guest. 2008-12-07 08:12:07
This lightweight program gets the job done fast. I highly recommend it.

62. by Guest. 2008-12-04 12:12:56
This program seemed to work very well - finding a lot of files that Spybot didn't catch - but, upon restarting my PC, a re-activation screen for Windows XP disallowed me from resuming my work (even with my paid OS). Had to restore the system to an earlier date to fix.

63. by Guest. 2008-11-21 15:11:25
Definitely worked. I had Virustrigger and Malwarebytes eliminated all the processes, files, and registry entries that I couldn't find. plus, it's free. Commended and recommended.

64. by Guest. 2008-11-20 21:11:47
It just works. My computer got highjacked while downloading PC game trainers and cheats. It cleaned it up in about 10 minutes it works great. Thanks

65. by Guest. 2008-11-16 20:11:27
I was infected with the antispywear 2009. This thing is a monster on your pc. I researched a lot of information how to remove the virus. This is the best program out there. and FREE!!! I LOVE IT.

66. by Guest. 2008-11-16 17:11:51
Norton 360 showed nothing...but I was infected Malwarebytes found it, fried it up, and had it for dinner.....for free too Thanks Guys

67. by Guest. 2008-11-09 08:11:54
you can try the rest but malware bytes is so deff the best, kills all spyware dead saved me so many times at work! love this software.

68. by Guest. 2008-11-05 06:11:49
Blitzed antivirus 2009 in no time flat. It may be a lightweight, but it certainly works.

69. by Guest. 2008-11-02 17:11:35
Just got infected by the offersfortoday malware. Norton360 comprehensive scans showed nothing. Malwarebytes (free version) detected it immediately, and eliminated it.

70. by Guest. 2008-11-01 23:11:09
Very good software. does not have the slick look but it does a job better than anything i used in the past. i am going to purchase this software for sure

71. by Guest. 2008-10-09 00:10:40
It catches what the big boys miss *RECOMENDED* Lady Candy

72. by Guest. 2008-10-06 09:10:32
Nice product. Extremely effective. I had a trojan called Vondu, an extremely difficult-to-remove infection. McAfee could not remove it completely. This software fixed all infected files with ease. Definitely recommended. Although I wish to observe for a few days more before actually purchasing it.

73. by Guest. 2008-09-28 04:09:13
Had a start page hijacker. Couldnt get rid of it with anything i tried. Until i tried this prog. Outstanding.

74. by Guest. 2008-09-26 13:09:45
This software should be rated higher, certainly more efficient, and less resource sapping than Spyware Doctor. My only beef is it's insistence that it update the program file everytime one becomes available. That is not necessary if you only wish definition updates.

75. by Guest. 2008-09-23 16:09:25
its awesome it took care of my antivirus xp 2008

76. by Guest. 2008-09-16 14:09:45
Removed a nasty little google hijacker and background hijacker that forced it's way onto my PC and wouldn't go away. It's quite powerful for it's size!

77. by Guest. 2008-09-11 01:09:14
This thing is awsome, taked down things that fsecure, spybot, nod32 and adaware couldent. RECOMENDED!

78. by Guest. 2008-08-31 23:08:49
Catches things that the corporate Trend Micro let slip through. Recommended

79. by Guest. 2008-08-30 21:08:18
is it better than spyware doctor? is it worth?

80. by Guest. 2008-08-21 23:08:49
Very, very good! It really keeps your pc away from malware, viruses, trojans, etc... Recommended!

81. by Guest. 2008-08-10 17:08:49
Took care of viri that slipped past Norton 2008! I just registered, at $25 with LIVE PROTECTION, I think its a winner! Light weight, takes 1/4 less resources than Norton, and simply WORKS!

82. by Guest. 2008-08-06 22:08:32
takes care of the difficult malware, i use this as my back up to eset

83. by Guest. 2008-08-06 17:08:35
Get it, put it on your disk or USB drive... I consider it a SILVER BULLET!!! Computer Tech - Pine Grove, CA

84. by Guest. 2008-07-21 17:07:52
this is so far very effective removing antivirus 2009, winanonymous, and lots of rogue antispyware!

85. by Guest. 2008-07-19 16:07:31
Even though I use other tools, it found & removed Adware.Agent

86. by Guest. 2008-07-08 13:07:44
It may be lightweoght, but it took care of the antivirus 2009 rogue I had!
