Every single computer that comes through my shop gets scanned with Malwarebytes. If I had to guess I would say that 98% of the computers I scan end up having some type of infection.
I made a quick video that shows you how to download and install Malwarebytes AND start scanning and protecting your computer in about 2 minutes!
You'll notice that this machine doesn't have any infections. If it did, there would be a prompt at the end asking to remove the infections and typically, reboot.
Free vs Premium - The MOST IMPORTANT reason you want to buy the premium version is for real-time protection. This means that Malwarebytes will intercept known malware and bad webpages before you get infected. The free version only works when you manually run a scan and AFTER you're already infected.
You might be thinking: "I have 'xyz' from my internet company." or "I already bought 'xyz' antivirus." That's great, but in my experience the free software from your internet company isn't good enough. For example, a local college uses a paid version of "Norton Antivirus" and had to upgrade to Malwarebytes because they kept getting virus infections. If those reasons aren't good enough then you're a lost cause. ;)
Sometimes your computer is too badly infected to even get Malwarebytes installed. If that's the case, it's probably time to call me and bring it in to the shop. Good luck!
