Hi.Been reading a lot about malwarebytes also on their forums,Some members are for upgrading to malwarebytes pro.
What do the members of this forum think of this?,Is it a good thing to go for the pro or stay with the free one?
Update please.
Many thanks in advance.

I have used both and I find that the free version only lacked one nice feature and that is a flash scan feature which is amazingly fast. Otherwise the two are more similar then different. If you can find the full (pro) version on sale then I would suggest it otherwise just run the free version.

The paid version protects in real time, has a scheduler, updates automatically, and has a malicious web site blocker.

If you look around with Google, you can probably find a discount coupon for the paid version. It is a lifetime license. I went to the paid version a couple of years ago and have no regrets.

I'm with ignatzatsonic on this one and honestly believe the paid for version is a good investment.

it is v good; some might think the paid is overkill; it can be very fastidious in blocking everything it thinks in its database might be harmful; some might say that's good lol.

Good program Malwarebytes...

Paid versus Free?
I would always choose & recommend the paid version.

Here is a good deal on Malwarebytes Pro $13.99

Newegg.com - Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Lifetime

The Pro license is good for life but can only be used on 1 PC at a time but can be moved to another PC. I have it running in realtime with NIS 2012 and it works great. I have it set to check for updates every 3 hours and after and update it runs a Flash Scan. I also have it run a Quick Scan once a Month.

EDIT: I see you are in the UK so check this price. The first one is marketed by DSOLUTION and they supply the support under contract with Malwarebytes. The 2nd one has free shipping so the price is about the same.

Just a warning. Even with the PRO version's real time protection you need to run an AV as well.

I decided to upgrade to Pro because of it's ability to be active with MSE at the same time. They got me for $25.00 so If you can find it cheaper go for it. I hope mine is Life Time.

Just under 14 bucks plus shipping and applicable taxes.

It is a lifetime licence. I have it installed on all of my Windows installations.

It is a lifetime licence. I have it installed on all of my Windows installations.

I hope you have a license for each of those installations as the Lifetime license is for only one PC.

Over a lifetime even full retail is a swinging deal. I didn't even get that good a deal I got it for just under 20.00.

I bought a license for the pro version, but had to revert back to the free version for reasons outlined here:

I looked on the Malwarebytes site and cannot find a license agreement, however they are a few threads in the forum section and here is a quote from a couple.





If you are using the same license on multiple systems the key could get cancelled but I am not sure how much policing is done by Malwarebytes. I have two licenses and when I redid my two systems I inadvertently used the same key on both. They ran for over a Month before I found and corrected the error and never heard a word from Malwarebytes.

If you have a multi-boot PC, you can use the same license on each OS (Windows) on that one PC.
