    Malwarebytes Question


    A friend of mine ran the free version of malwarebytes and it showed they have 300+ infections. Anyway they told me that malwarebytes said it would only clean 100 of them or to buy the full version to clean them all. Does anyone know if would right? as I am interested
    Thank you

    Hi,

    Thats incorrect - the detection and cleaning engine in the free version is the same as in the paid version.

    The only difference between the two, is that the paid version:

    - Has automatic definition updates
    - IP blocker
    - Scheduling ability

    Apart from that, there is absolutely no difference between the two.

    That is what I thought and tried to tell them.They may have downloaded the paid version on a trial basis.
    Thanks for the reply

    Visited an ex-pat friend in Warsaw and cleaned 680+ bogeys- and I told him to quit using a PC!

    Yeah, when I saw the final number 745, I asked him what he does on his computer...he said "mostly Christian chat rooms" ....

    The paid version also has real time protection not just IP blocking.
