Malwarebytes has a lot to offer, however there are still some issues that prevent it from being the best choice for everyone. It costs more for a single device subscription than its competitors. It’s also not as dependable as its competitors in terms of features.
Malwarebytes offers multiple layers of security, including web protection as well as ransomware protection. It also provides malware and adware protection, as well as removal and detection. It also has excellent protection capabilities in the real world, with results from AV Comparatives testing that consistently rank it among the top programs in its class (August 2022 to October 2022).
Paid subscribers are able to access all of these features and more. They can control the program’s settings by clicking on the corkscrew symbol at the lower-right corner of their dashboard. The tab opens with seven sections that allow you to alter the program to your preferences. This includes notifications, the frequency at which it checks for threats intelligence updates, as well as several scan options.
The premium version of the software has advanced features such as exploit protection, which prevents attacks that take advantage of bugs and vulnerabilities in applications and systems. Malwarebytes can also identify and block browser lockers, stop in-browser cryptojackers and block other scams that attempt to extort data or money from you online. It also identifies and stop phishing websites. It’s not able to provide the same degree of identity theft protection as its competitors but this is likely to be changed since it bought Cyrus Security.
