(+) It can work parallel with other anti-virus software.Ĭons: (-) No protection from real-time threats in the free version. (+) Very fast and dynamic search for malware content. (+) Detects most of the malicious and ransomware related content on the computer or laptop. Pros: (+) Easy to use, straight forward installation setup and a very good interface. To this day, I am astonished that on more than one occasion it labeled its own self as malware.
I would recommend trying literally anything else. Be prepared for half the things you downloaded, or possibly even default things on your computer, to randomly be flagged as malware while the actual malware is missed entirely. I often wonder if it only gets recommended everywhere is because people just don't thoroughly test anything else out there. Overall: I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, honestly. It's like I'm somehow using a completely different program than everyone else because I've never gotten the amazing results everyone raves about. Meanwhile, it never finds whatever the issue is on the computer while other malware protection easily does. This thing is so sensitive it thinks nearly anything is malware, including itself sometimes! Here are a list of other programs this thing has decided are malware: Evernote, Notepad++, Rainmeter, all Iobit products, pretty much any other malware detecting products out there, Microsoft Edge once, Discord, all Abode products, Firefox, Chrome, Skype, the default sticky note program on Windows, various art software, and naturally, itself. I really don't have anything else positive to say about it other than that.Ĭons: Every few years, I give this program another go after tons and tons of recs about how it's so much better than this or that, and every time, I'm deleting it the same day again for the same reason. If you have basically no non-default programs downloaded to your computer, it'll probably work alright. Read More.Pros: It's got a free version and it's easy to use. It's a definite recommendation in case of free product, the premium version is completely a factor of pricing and other products in the market. Though the free version does not provide real-time protection for your system a one time clean up is really useful. It worked quite well and was able to detect the threats and remove them successfully.
Overall: I have used the free version of malware bytes quite a few times for a one time clean up when there is a suspicion. (-) Not up to the mark in cases of unknown threats and ransomware threats. (-) The cost of the product is not very user friendly.
Pros: It's got a free version and it's easy to use.
