About Malwarebytes
Malwarebytes is the cleanup crew people reach for when something slips past their antivirus. Its scanner is fast and thorough, rooting out malware, adware, spyware and potentially unwanted programs that traditional tools often miss.
The Premium tier adds real-time protection, ransomware and exploit shields, and a browser guard that blocks malicious sites, so problems are stopped before they start rather than cleaned up after.
