Malewarebytes Discovery

jack1953 · 04 Feb 2012

I was researching different antispyware programs because, even though I purchased a lifetime subscription for Super Antispyware Pro about 4 years ago, as a recommendation from someone else, all the reviews I see on it are very low!

I wanted to see what else was out there and Malewarebytes always gets mentioned and recommended.

Every review I've come across gives a higher rating to the FREE version as opposed to the PAID versions, which I found very interesting.

I will download and install today!!

Hi.

Malwarebytes is one of the top anti-spywares.

Also check this Good and Free system security combination.

I have no problems with Super Anti Spyware but I do have to run it in Safe Mode sometimes to find everything. It find tracking cookies when nothing else does. I have use Malware Anti Malware free for years and I do suggest using it. I like it so much I bought the Pro version. MAM and SAS work well with MSE.

Bear,
Do you run MAM and SAS real time together?

MBAM will run in real time with most AV's it is designed that way.

I run MAM and MSE at the same time active. I don't have SAS Pro to be able to run it active. I do run updates and scans with SAS while MSE and MAM are active with no problems. These 3 programs seem to get along with each other.

Thanks Bear. I have a license for both, so I am going to do real time with all 3 and see how it works.

SAS has improved with version 5. The scans are faster now, especially the new critical point scan. I also use MBAM, Hitman Pro and TDSSkiller. I wouldn't want to rely on any one of them exclusively. I only use them "on demand" though and have a "suite" for real time protection. What do you use for AV?

Thanks for weighing in Vic. I use MSE. General consensus in here is that it works well with 7 especially on new pcs. I am going to try running MSE, MB Pro, and SAS Pro real time together and see how it goes.

Your welcome Jack. If you haven't already checkout the new Webroot SecureAnywhere product which is designed to work along side other AV. It's the next generation of Prevx and has good detection scores with minimal impact on resources.
