I was iffy before buying — saw it on a coworker's machine, they suggested it, sceptical at first, now mostly satisfied.

Had to buy this after adware hit my laptop; overall solid and easy to use, but it still lets some malicious scripts through — annoying

My buddy told me about it ages ago. It's on my laptop, phone and kids' tablet — mostly invisible, sometimes nags about updates, but no crashes and no stolen stuff, so I keep it.

It actually keeps things current, against regular crooks and shady state actors — I tried the free trial first, works well, though setup could be a bit clearer.

Turns out it actually does what I needed, so I'm relieved. I run it on a laptop and my phone every day — light on resources, catches the junk, pretty straightforward to set up. Not flashy, just solid, and I'm happy I didn't waste money at all.

I actually relax now, devices feel lighter somehow. The app runs quietly in background and I barely notice it, yet I know it's watching. Been using it for years. Would tell friends to try it — solid and simple protection too.

Don't buy it — it hijacked my phone, simple as that. For two days every app I tapped showed Malwarebytes ads trying to sell upgrades; it even blocked other cleaners. I finally used CCleaner and got rid of it, relief. I’ve used other antiviruses and none were this invasive, so yeah, sketchy but solved.

I like it — the VPN does exactly what I wanted. I've used their anti-malware since January and didn't want to pay for the full bundle, so I grabbed the standalone VPN. Setup was straightforward, speeds are decent, support answered one odd question, and overall it's a practical, not flashy, win.

the VPN is honestly the feature I use most — it's dead simple and actually works, which is rare. Scheduled scans run quietly in the background so you almost forget them, though they can take a while on older laptops. Dashboard's tidy and browser protection helps. I'd tell friends to try the trial first.

it just worked, quietly cleaning stuff. I'm in IT security, so I notice the rough edges — updates sometimes fumble, UI could be less cluttered — but protection is reliable and I still keep it on my machines.

I was half-asleep on the couch when I got that alert about weird activity — that’s the exact moment I knew this was worth it. The app's a bit clunky now and then, sure, but it's been keeping an eye on my accounts for years, flags breaches and Malwarebytes support actually helped me deal with a dark‑web leak. I check it every morning with my coffee and when the kids use their tablets, and honestly it calms me down.

Halfway through a messy torrent of browser toolbars and a sluggish laptop, I noticed Malwarebytes quietly doing its thing in the background. It's subtle — scans when I want, checks stuff without choking the machine, and the UI is straightforward, no fuss. I've bounced between other AVs before and some were loud, slow or flagged too many false positives; this one feels balanced. I started with the free version ages ago, moved to premium across a few PCs, and I'm honestly glad I did — it actually finds odd stuff others missed. Support was easy to reach when I needed it and fixed the issue, so yeah, pretty happy overall.

light, unobtrusive, not eating resources, scans that don’t make my fan sound like it’s launching. The VPN seems stable now, and the app boots up without drama. I’m glad it didn’t stay broken and that a human took over eventually — I appreciate that. Could be quicker on the first response, and yeah, the AI-first setup is clunky sometimes. But overall it’s back to doing its job and I’m relieved I didn’t have to shop around.

Long-term user, switched from different antivirus in 2013

I've actually been using this anti-malware program for about ten years now, and it's never let me down. Back in 2013, I decided to make the switch after having some trouble with another antivirus software, AVAST. AVAST was constantly updating with features that were just slowing down my computer, using up too much memory, and not doing a good job of keeping my system safe. A friend of the family suggested this anti-malware program to us, saying it was the best at getting rid of malware, and I've been thankful ever since. It's been able to remove or isolate every piece of malware, trojan, or worm that's tried to sneak onto my system, something other programs couldn't do. There might be a bit of a delay sometimes, but it's never been a big issue and gets sorted out quickly. I definitely recommend using its extension with uBlock Origin for extra protection against spam and malware. Since I switched over, I haven't regretted it and I'm still impressed with how well it works.

I recently had to switch from my old cybersecurity provider and was thinking about buying directly from the company. I contacted their customer service for advice and information, and I was really happy with the quick and helpful response I got. Dom, the person I talked to, knew a lot and gave me all the details I needed to make a good choice. I decided to get a two-year subscription for two devices, and ever since I put their product on my two laptops, everything has been working great with no problems. I really liked how Dom kept checking in and helping me throughout the whole process. I'm super impressed with the service and support, and I would definitely recommend this cybersecurity solution to anyone who needs to keep their devices safe and sound.
