About Malwarebytes

Malwarebytes is security software focused on detecting and removing malware, ransomware and other threats that traditional antivirus sometimes misses. Its free version works as an on-demand cleanup tool: you scan a device and remove infections that are already present. Paid Premium Security adds real-time protection that blocks malicious websites, exploits and ransomware before they take hold, across computers and mobile devices. Home users typically start with it after a scare or alongside an existing antivirus, while businesses use its managed products for fleets of endpoints. Real-time protection and business features require a paid subscription after any trial.
