Great protection

I've used Malwarebytes for two years and just renewed my subscription. I have three devices protected and it works great. Text alerts are very helpful prior to opening a possible harmful text.

I’ve been using Malwarebytes from the very start – on macOS, on iOS (where I was a beta tester in Italy)... and in the past on Windows too (a system I no longer use, although I still have MWB installed on an old PC) – what can I say? It’s perfect... since I’ve been using it, what’s malware? I’ve no idea, I can’t even remember

Subscription Renewal Process Needs Improvement

I tried to stop next year's automatic subscription, but it took several tries to get there. The first route only took me to "activate my account" or something like it.

I think Malwarebytes has a fine product, but I can't have it with the computer I purchased. It came with another product.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for sharing this and we’re really sorry to hear how frustrating this has been.

We take billing concerns very seriously, and we’d like to look into what’s happening with your subscription. We’ve requested more information so we can locate your account and review the charges.

You can also reach out to us via our Help Center: https://help.malwarebytes.com with the email address used for the purchase (or a receipt/invoice if available), and we’ll have a support agent investigate this for you.

For future reference, auto-renewal can be managed or turned off at any time from your Malwarebytes My Account. If the subscription was purchased through a third-party platform (such as the Apple App Store or Google Play), it would need to be canceled directly through that provider.

We understand your concerns and want to make this right - please connect with us so we can help resolve this properly.

Sincerely,
The Malwarebytes Team

I began working with computers in 1980

I began working with computers in 1980. Hacking, viruses, trojans, etc. were almost unheard of. 25 years ago, systems and pcs were vulnerable to nuisance viruses. Since, then with Cellular phones, tablets, laptops, Cloud storage, problems have risen exponentially. Many Companies claim to keep you safe, protect your identity, your online presence. I've tried several before latching onto Malwarebytes. They are constantly improving all platforms for personal use.
They work on removing your email addresses and private identity data for you. Also, they give you instructions to work on this issue as well. VPN, browser guard, App monitoring, on demand scan, update downloads; the list of tools available continues to grow.
I recommend Malwarebytes for anyone with single or multiple devices needing constant protection.. Their quick response Support and guidance is a plus.

Satisfied long-term, customer.

I have been a subscriber for many years, and I use the application for both my iPhone and my MacbookPro. I started with Malwarebytes on a recommendation from the IT person at my school. I like the ease of installation and the scan that takes place with each restart of the computer and phone. My partner was impressed enough to subscribe and protect her two devices as well.

Outstanding Support from Conor - Fast and Professional!

I am giving Conor 5 stars for his excellent service. I am incredibly impressed with the support I received from Conor, a Technical Product Specialist (Ticket #8323517). I was having a frustrating issue where Malwarebytes became unresponsive with Tamper Protection enabled, but Conor provided a clear, step-by-step solution using the Windows Control Panel that worked perfectly.Not only did he resolve my initial problem with great expertise, but he also followed up and sincerely answered all my additional questions afterward. His professionalism and dedication made me feel truly valued as a customer. Thank you, Conor, for the outstanding support and for going above and beyond!

I could not make myself understood on the Chat session and was led to a round robin of instructions that did not work. Malware message should have included statement saying "If your Iphone iOS system is up-to-date, ignore this message." When a human came on and I sent him a screenshot of my first message from Malwarebytes, the human resolved my problem quickly, but I had wasted about 30 minutes. Date of problem is approximate.
