good

"Recommended by our technology department" It catches things regular antivirus software does not. Because it's free, one wonders about the quality. Our tech department uses it and finds things that other software programs does not.

"Dealt with issues other software did not find" Simple and very effective does not automatically update, no real time protection

"Amazing product; free version is not as good as paid" GREAT detection rates, Free version lacks many vital features. This is some good stuff. It's #1 on my list for malware/spyware protection.

"Amazing Product" This is the first line of defense of malware. None I can think of! Just download it and see!

"trojan detected" it's good, I had this before, but this download version is infected with trojan TROJAN HORSE detected by BitDefender This download isn't safe, I had trojan horse downloaded as well. I scanned using BitDefender and it kept popping up saying Trojan horse aborted... :/ Source was this product.

"This one is a beast!" Wow, this anti-malware really rocks!- It's a pretty fast scanner- Low performance needed- Always up-to-date- 100% Free!!- No virusses, adwares or spywares! The registered version can mess up your system if you have a virusscanner.

"Broadly effective, without being too complex to use." Info on updates and scans are clearly shown as needed. Don't feel qualified to have a complaint. May be problems, but they are beyond my expertise. For anyone with a concern about malware of any description would be well served by beginning with this program to start building a toolkit or defense array.

"Does the job." Free version works great. Non so far.

"Best free anti malware in my opinion" Very efficient in detecting and removing malwares in comparison with other anti malwares I have used so far, light program (takes few PC CPU and RAM), rather fast on scanning, very user-friendly, simple design, .... Nothing to be worried about.... You have to pay for some features like Real-time protection, Automatic updates, Priority costumer support, ... But it's not a problem for me. I am very satisfied with this product. This is a very good product and is the best one among free anti malwares in my opinion. I suggest it to anyone who cares about the security of the computer. It can be good complementary to your anti virus.

Had a major malware problem Spent ages trying to sor it. A friend recommended this product so I tried it. Ran it twice and it completly sorted the problem. I give it 6 stars+!! Although I tried the free version I am going to buy the full version now.

What keyloggers has this been tested against that it missed?

Rated 50/50 by rockybalboaowns at Feb 15, 2010

"Great product, even the free version!!!" Great malware removal and great detections. No real-time protection, but thats the point of buying it! (Still 5 stars) A great product to use along with an anti-virus. Updates almost every hour, so you know the databases are always up to date with the amount of virus' going around these days.

"One fo the best" It just works. Can't think of any. Get it. Use it often.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, MBAM for short, kills 99.9% of all the badware on your computer. When nothing else works, MBAM will get it. MBAM is so successful at removing malware, that malware writers blacklist it from running. Often you have to run a lesser known software like rkill to stop the malware process before you can run MBAM to remove the nasty software. MBAM is an excellent product, but it is sometimes a victim of it's own success. The only suggestion i have for the people at MBAM is to do a once a week release of a product that when it runs, doesn't identify itself as MBAM. The already have a randomly named .exe you can run, but the processes started still refer to themselves as MBAM.

"Malwarebytes program saved my machine" Allowed me to successfully and quickly eliminate the Antivirus Soft malware/virus which took over my machine. Loaded this program in safe mode with networking and it allowed me to run a scan and wipe it out. Nothing else would work previously No cons encountered Would highly advise purchasing the $25 full version to allow for real-time protection so as to prevent these malware from loading in the first place, and thereby preventing hijacks. Easily worth the $25 in my recent experience

"Great Product!" I found a group of files in my BadMail folder and wondered where they came from. I ran Anti-Malware on my machine and found 13 files attached to malware. I cleaned out the BadMail folder after I ran MalWare and haven't had a problem since. Requires a reboot on some files, it would be nice if the app simply stopped the running file service and then deleted it without requiring a reboot. But it's not a deal breaker. I would recommend this program to anyone. It is a good one...
