"one of the best I have used" ease of use and the results are easy to understand nothing really it does what it says on the box

"The ONLY one that healed my PC!" After trying all kinds of programs this one actually detected and got rid of a very nasty virus my kid allowed in my computer. None whatsoever. Just save yourself some time and get this. I used the free version and it did the job. I would just upgrade to express my gratitude.

"Good? I think it is..." Highly rated at all the download websites. Read my reviews on Advanced System Protector and A-Squared Free. WHAT IS WITH GOOD COMPANIES AND THEIR BAD UPDATERS!? I am going with Superantispyware, the only one that seems to work properly. Glitch after glitch. I am running a high speed connection so that is not the problem either(you were thinking it).

This software is a bad joke. Not only is it buggy, its detection sucks. I run commercial keylogger/monitoring software on my system (for a good reason, which is nobody's business but my own). This turd doesn't notice it one bit. Nor does it notice most of the NirSoft utilities that can be used to grab passwords, intercept network traffic, and so on. (Don't try telling me that it should NOT detect those things--if someone tries downloading/running one of those things on my computer, I WANT an "anti-malware" application to be able to catch it.) I have no idea why the hell anyone would use this useless piece of garbage.

"Good Stuff!" Deep scan, nothing quick about this. Cleans up some hard to kill junk. I'm impressed and I recommend it to all of my friends. slow but thats o.k. as long as it kills viruses and trojans! I like the product. It really KILLS trojans, viruses, and malicious ******** that slows down your computer.

Thorough. Easy to use and updatable. A little bit on the slow side. I used Anti Malware to take care of a particularly nasty Trojan that had infiltrated my laptop. The laptop had Norton Anti-Virus on it, yet even though it assured me my system was clean, it wasn't. The pop ups only disappeared after running Aniti Malware. I am considering buying the full version.

"Fast and accurate..beats my Symantec" One malware tool i would recommend after trying out few of them. Extremely fast and in my case detected and removed the infection. On demand scanner is quite handy too.. Finally something that works without a fuss.. at least this version does.. FileAssasin need to reboot for deleting every locked file!! a minor headache tho'

"Best anti-malware product available" 1. best2. incredibly cheap--25 bucks for a lifetime license, less w/ coupon/multivolume discount3. very fast tech support--in forums or via email occasional quirks like false positives but nothing consequential combine this with a free antivirus and you'll have all the protection of NAV with none of the downside (large cost and system slowdown).

"worked fine" used on a friends PC . done what it said , pretty simple no problems

Man, Dingledoo, where'd you download the trial version from? Apparently only the *cracked* version doesn't detect that stuff. (expressionless)

"Does what it says it will do" Simple no complications in install or running. Ample information. None I know of For free, or for a fee, you can't beat it.

when no-other anti-malware program works Malwarebytes does! Ugly/old fashioned interface.doesn't explain enough in layman terms(fine though if you happen to be a computer expert) Fantastic. i was using iobit 360(which i have now sent back to the fires of hell where it belongs!) and my pc was infected by block protector, a rogue malware. Iobit 360(which has stolen malwarebytes database) didn't even detect it. I then tried windows defender and a couple others that were listed on a website (along with Iobit 360) as being able to deal with the aforementioned rogue malware. They did nothing. So, after nearly 24 hours of searching my computers files and the internet for info and downloading/installing/running/uninstalling/deleting anti malware programs. I found Malwarebytes. Cue eureka moment! with no-fuss.No hassle, and with one click. It instantly detected and got rid of all traces.............nuff said.

"Love it...highly recomended" gets rid of everything none works perfectly if your ever having an issue with malware this is the software you need...hands down!

"Seems to work well." Spotted some malware, Trojans etc that my anti-virus program never spotted? Nothing lets this down, only having to pay for full program?

Rated 50/50 by eepy at Dec 14, 2009

"Fast and effective." Has picked up malware that others have not. A great utility to keep as a second line of security since it has no system overhead until one actually scans with it. It's a 'stayer' for me, to be sure. Nothing I don't like about it. It is free, after all!

Where other highly-touted applications failed,Malwarebytes shined. It managed to delete numerous trojan viruses that other apps could not budge. I have nothing negative to say about a product that performed flawlessly. I was very concerned after having downloaded a slew of viruses that in the past have forced me to a destructive recovery of my hard drive. I didn't have the proper desktop weaponry to fully deal with these scourges. After several highly-touted programs failed to remove them I installed Malwarebytes and much to my delight along with Spybot Search & Destroy did manage to remove them all. Thanks Malwarebytes!

"Very quick and simple to use." Not a hog of resources None so far So far, the best program of this tipe that I have used

"Best at what it does - period!" Can clean the crapware right off your PC. You have to pay for the ability to auto-run the app. I've used this little peace of heavenware to clean several PCs of infected crapware and boy-howdy does it work like a charm.

Finds everything for the most part and is up to date to fight off new Malware. Easy to use and update. Self explanatory. The product should try and update itself and the user should not have to do this manually just in case the user forgets and then does not use the latest definitions. This product has helped me save many family PCs from being wiped and reimaged. This is a product that I personally recommend to everyone that has a PC. Malwarebytes is one that will be at the very top of my list for years to come. I can't see anything out there beating it for some time. Thanks Malwarebytes.

"Good Stuff!!" Easy to use I have nothing to say negative about the product. Easy to install; gave me the option of a full scan or a scan of the areas that were most prone to malware. It did its job and did it without a whole lot of hoops to climb through.
