malwarebytes is hilarious.
every week it signs me up for a premium trail. then spams me with adds to buy premium.

then the next week i get a premium trail again.


like dude. chill. i don't even want this trail. although my pc just blue screened after downloading something... hmmmm

probably mallware bytes fault too lol.

I thought Malwarebytes was good. I use Norton and I never had issues with it! And that's saying something!!

:steamlaughcry:
malware bytes never crashed my computer , but yeah they do keep offering trials periods for the premium so often you'd wonder if it's worth paying for it anymore.

malwarebytes is good Ive been using premium for a while now and its always done a good job.
malwarebytes premium trial caused my i3-530 potato pc to bluescreen. removing the 'trial' fixed the problem,

Malwarebytes is still probably the best antivirus around.

But common sense is the truest antivirus.

Can you not turn off auto update? I imagine everytime it autoupdates it resets you to premium etc. I never had that issue probably cuz it turn it off.

Malewarebytes is actually pretty good unlike AVG which made my pc randomly crash once i unistalled AVG my pc relaxed and stopped crashing. My friend installed avast and it caused their pc to crash so yeah it's werid why some anti viruses cause pc's to act up. So far the best anit maleware is malewarebytes which has done a fantastic job.

I install it when I need to run a scan.

Let it run its scan.

Keep it 1, maybe 2 days.

Uninstall and remove registry entries until next time I need to run a scan.

ah glad i'm not the only one.
the most false positive I've ever had was with the older version of AVG and I kind of hate the Interface from the newer versions.

Windows defender+common sense is enough, only get MalwareBytes when you absolutely need a second scan
