Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Review
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a free anti-malware scanner that does its job very effectively. One of its main plus points is its speed. A quick scan using the software takes just 8 minutes even when other programs running in the background. (This will differ from computer to computer depending on specs, OS, etc.)
Malwarebytes also comes with a powerful heuristics engine that is capable of determining the difference between false positives and real security threats.
The latest version supports multiple drive scanning, networked drives and comes with 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 user interface of Malwarebytes is simple and straightforward, at the same time it is pleasant-looking and well-organized. Tabs live just below the logo, with few options per tab to keep down the clutter.
Malwarebytes is fast to install. During installation, it creates a changelog file and an instant definition file update so that users will be able to get more information if something goes wrong.
On the minus side, the free version doesn’t offer real-time protection. That feature is available only in the paid version and so is the scheduler for updates and scans.
To conclude, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a good malware remover that you can install on your computer to keep it safe from malware.
