Read Our ESET Mobile Security & Antivirus 2.0 (for Android) Review Also disconcerting is the fact that Malwarebytes was one of only only three apps to return a false-positive detection. The average score for this round of testing was over 99 percent, meaning that AV-Test gave Malwarebytes a measly 2.5 out of 6 points for malware detection-the lowest score of the 31 security apps tested. That might sound like a very good score, but when the final results were published, it didn't look good for Malwarebytes. I received initial results from independent lab AV-Test (Opens in a new window), indicating Malwarebytes detected more than 90 percent of the malicious sample files used in the evaluation. Instead, I leave it to the professionals. I don't perform live malware testing when reviewing Android security apps, for safety's sake. The problem is, it's not so hot at the one task it tries to perform. Malwarebytes eschews most of the bells and whistles included by other security developers, focusing on malware detection. The developer has since expanded into the mobile world with an Android app version of Malwarebytes, available for the low, low price of nothing. Security experts know they can rely on Malwarebytes to clean up the mess when a computer is infested with viruses and other malware.

"Malwarebytes started out as a free anti-malware program that proved itself to be very effective at removing malware on Windows-based systems,” said Canavan. In fact, Malwarebytes Premium is recommended by IT security expert and SafeWise advisor Pete Canavan.
Still, we like this antivirus software for people that like to keep things simple.
Unlike its biggest competitor, Bitdefender Antivirus, it doesn’t have parental control options for keeping your kids safe online, gamer mode, VPN protection, or email scanning. Some may say that Malwarebytes Premium is a little too basic. Of course, you can change these settings if you like, but there’s no need. Malwarebytes on Windows also automatically sets up a scheduled threat scan for the wee hours of the morning. Real-time protection settings (web, malware, ransomware, and exploit protection) are on by default. It does all this without any input from you and is pretty fool-proof.
