What does everyone think of Malwarebytes these days? I noticed PCWorld was offering the 2-YR version for $29.99, which ends today Antivirus deal: Get Malwarebytes Premium for $30 (that's 79% off!) | PCWorld There was a time when Malwarebytes was my goto second-layer security suite. Not used it for a few years.
I have a license and installed it and observed it for a few weeks. Works ok, but not better than WD (in most tests). Save your money...
I use it with my lifetime license as a secondary scanner (real-time protection disabled). I’d like to use it after migrating to macOS, but the license can’t be transferred, so this deal might be interesting. (Would end yesterday, but got renewed; valid for 6 more days?)
go MBAM 2.21 currently i dont see a need for MBAM as a licensed version, its detection is "bad" in direct comparison and any other antivirus (incl. Defender) runs full featured more smoothly as this one. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/av-c-real-world-protection-test-jul-aug-2021.440427/ And MBAM v2 is not that bloated as major builds after it. and it still gets signature updates. for me i drop files (or hash) on virustotal to get a second opinion - malwarebytes is also one the used engines. being connected is mandatory, but for offline usage mbam also need updates. 2ct
