Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has become a household name in the spyware blockers industry. Malwarebytes is an anti spyware blocker which has an advanced spyware definition database which is able to detect the latest rogue spyware to hit the internet. If you are interested in purchasing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware then read on to find out the pros and cons of this anti spyware blocker.

Navigation and design (3/5)

Malwarebytes Anti-malware is relatively well designed although the navigation could have been more simplified. When you open the spyware blocker, you will see a list of tabs starting with Scanner and ending with About. In my opinion, tabs like ‘About’ should be redundant and smoe tabs could have been collaborated together like ’settings’ and ‘More tools’. Other than that, the main function of the spyware block which is to scan is relatively straightforward. You are given two options, quick and full scan. All you need to do is select one and you are ready to go.

Detection rate (5/5)

I would have no hesitation in saying that Malwarebytes Anti-malware currently has one of the highest detection rates out of all the anti spyware blockers available. This is clearly evident by checking security forums and message boards where there is a lot of discussion regarding malwarebytes Anti-malware scan results. You will also find that Malwarebytes can easily detect prominent rogue spyware like AntivirusBEST and Personal Antivirus 2009.

Impact on system (4/5)

If you are using a computer with a minimum of 1 GB RAM then you should not encounter too much  trouble when using Malwarebytes Anti-malware. I trialed Malwarebytes Anti-malware on a 4GB RAM , 2.5 GHZ laptop and I encountered no problems playing a full screen game while Malwarebytes was performing a full scan. Malwarebytes also only takes up 4 MB of space in your hard drive.

Support and documentation (2/5)

Unfortunately, one large downside of this anti spyware blocker is its poor support and documentation. When you load Malwarebytes Anti-malware, there is no clear help button or instructions. The official Malwarebytes website also lacks in support so you need to rely on unofficial security forums if you encounter any problems with this anti spyware blocker.

Summary (14/20)

Do not be fooled by the low verdict score. Yes, Malwarebytes might be lacking in secondary features such as design and support however it is still a great anti spyware blocker to have if you are looking to remove the latest rogue spyware to hit the internet. Malwarebytes Anti-malware comes in two versions: free and full. One major feature which the free version lacks in is the real time protection. Having a real time protection system is vital for the overal security of your personal computer. Check out Malwarebyte’s official website for more information.
