As MoxieMomma has posted no program what ever kind it is will not be perfect all the time.
Malwarebytes Anti Malware is no exception.
I have been using Malwarebytes Free/Pro/Premium or years and I can only remember 3 problems.
Malwarebytes took care of those problems is a short time.
I would not go online with a computer without Malwarebytes Premium, anti virus and a firewall.
Hello Jack !
imho
MBAM is good at fixing false-positives quickly.
They are bad at fixing program bugs quickly, if ever.
Now they have issues with V 2.18 where real-time protection may not work correctly for some folks.
The MBAM GUI may show everything is working, but it might not be.
As far as I know, this bug only affects people that use a Windows Limited User Account.
They say "we do hope to have a fix for this in our next patch release which we're looking to send out just as quickly as possible.."
If MS puts out a bad update on Patch Tuesday, they pull the patch quickly when they see there is an issue.
I have no problem with that ...
I understand an update by anyone can cause unexpected problems, and MS does the best they can as quickly as possible ...
MBAM knows they put out a "bad patch", and now we have to wait for a "next patch release" to fix the problem.
So, how long do we have to wait for the "next patch release", days, weeks, months ... ?
When a security product does not "protect" as advertised, how can i trust or recommend buying/using this ?
I'm not impressed with their sense of urgency fixing bugs quickly (if ever).
Just my 2 cents ...
