Antivirus compatibility

So far it is a good auxiliary defense with my favorite ESET NOD32 Antivirus, no flaws as of this writing.

I tested the PRO version with Avast, Panda and Microsoft Security Essential and found no issue in terms of compatibility. My PC didn’t slow-down either. The only problem I encountered is with Avira antivirus. Malwarebytes PRO can run with Avira but  my PC freezes, despite putting Malwarebytes in Avira’s exclusion list and adding Avira in Malwarebyte’s ignored list.

My advice, if you are a fan of Avira just use Free version or change to other Antivirus if you want the Pro version.

Malwarebytes is considered as the best malware-removal tool. In fact, it has a record high of more than 100 million downloads and still counting. It’s excellent  malware detection and removal capability made it popular. The other best thing about this tool is, it’s free, though it also offers a PRO version.

Malwarebytes in my experience, is very accurate in detecting and removing  all known malware, rootkits, adware, spyware, trojans and shortcut virus that most antivirus can’t. I’ve been using this to eliminate those threats from computers, laptops, external hard-drives and flash drives.

How to remove malware  using Malwarebytes?

• It is plain and simple. Download it
• Install and run the program.
• Update.
• Scan your PC and remove the malware.

Malwarebytes a good alternative for Antivirus?

Of course not, especially if you are using the free version, It has no real-time protection, it is just a scanner that scans, if  executed. If you have a PRO version, still I don’t recommend it as a sole defense for your PC. Two is still better than one.

In my observation, Malwarebytes focuses on spyware, rootkits and adware while antivirus is covering all fields. Due to that focus it becomes very effective against those threats. Antivirus on the other hand is very good on those duplicating viruses, site advisory, email protection and parental control. Therefore, it is wise to have them both.

False Positives Rates

Sometimes it detects legitimate software and games as malware but it’s a rare issue and can be solved by adding those applications in ignored list.

Uninstall

You can uninstall Malwarebytes from its folder through unins000.exe, it is located in C:Program Files\Malwarebytes (if you installed it by default). The other option is via “control panel” “uninstall program”. However the problem with these methods the un-install is not totally clean. You need to edit the registry for complete uninstall.

Malwarebytes Uninstaller

This is the answer for clean uninstall that windows can’t. Malwarebytes provided this free  both for users of free  and PRO users, but this is most helpful for paid customers because they can now transfer their  license to another computer.
