Editor's review of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

• 4.0 stars

• "Bite back at malware"

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a surprisingly effective freeware antimalware tool. It's a relatively speedy malware remover, with the quick scan taking about 10 minutes. The heuristics engine proved on multiple computers during empirical testing that it was capable of determining the difference between false positives and dangerous apps.

The app has some nice features rolled in, too. It supports multiple drive scanning, context menu options including a scan-on-demand for individual files, and the FileAssassin option under the More Tools section for removing locked files. The interface is simple, but pleasant-looking and well-organized. Tabs live just below the oversized logo, with few options per tab to keep down the clutter. The installation process was fast enough, but interestingly offered up the well-kept changelog and an instant definition file update.

Do note that the real-time protection is restricted to the paid version, as is the scheduler for updates and scans. Overall, though, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a responsive malware remover that does what it should with a minimum of fuss.

  "Does the job quickly and effectively"

  by alogism on January 9, 2009

  Pros: Saved two hard drives hit with different malicious trojans. Costs nothing to use, but was so effective I bought it because the paid version scans and updates every 24 hours. I've recommended it to friends who have found it effective as well.

  Cons: None I've found.

  "Removes what others can't"

  by thegoodthief on January 8, 2009

  Pros: After 3 days trying to remove a Vundo infection I found this product and finally the battle was won. Norton couldn't remove it. Spybot S&D couldn't remove it. And it was impossible to remove manually. Malwarebytes saved the day.

  Cons: Beware of other programs pretending to be this one. I recommended Malwarebytes to a friend & they ended up installing malware!

  Summary: Easy to use, does the job. Highly recommended.
