About MalwareBytes
Malwarebytes has been around since 2006, and it quickly rose to prominence thanks to its free antivirus program. Malwarebytes became many people's go-to security checkup service because it allowed them to scan their computers for free. Offering a free program is not a novel strategy for antivirus companies. They usually try to persuade users to upgrade to a paid service that has more features and protects more devices. Malwarebytes Premium is the equivalent upgrade.
While the majority of antivirus services protect both business and personal devices, they typically specialize in one or the other. Malwarebytes is not one of them. Malwarebytes has a plan for almost every need, from a free antivirus service that can scan your computer for threats to enterprise plans that can protect thousands of users.
All of the essential features of an antivirus are included in the personal service. This includes real-time desktop and browser protection, as well as protection against ransomware and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Malwarebytes also includes Browser Guard and Privacy. Browser Guard focuses on browser security by detecting scams, blocking ads, and protecting against third-party data trackers. Meanwhile, Privacy provides you with access to a VPN with servers in over 30 countries, allowing you to protect your online privacy.
The business service provides security for both small teams and large corporations. In addition to core malware protection, the business service lets you isolate and analyze incidents, protect servers, rollback ransomware attacks, and manage your security via a cloud management console.
The Katana Engine powers Malwarebytes Premium, which improves threat detection, response time, and performance over previous versions. It includes signature-less behavioral detection, which can detect malware that normally avoids antivirus detection by analyzing program behavior.
The greatest improvement, however, is in performance. Malwarebytes claims a 50% reduction in system resource usage during scans, which is supported by independent testing. Malwarebytes runs much faster than the industry average on both standard and high-end PCs. The Malwarebytes Katana Engine is the service's heart. You will have access to the same protection whether you use the business or personal service, with or without add-ons.
Malwarebytes rose to prominence thanks to its free antivirus service, which is still available today. It employs the same threat detection and mitigation engine as the main service, but with some important distinctions. The free plan, most importantly, does not include real-time protection or scheduled scans. Instead, it allows you to scan your computer for threats on demand. If it detects a threat, it will remove it from your PC or Mac.
Malwarebytes also provides free protection against unwanted programs such as adware, as well as browser protection to filter out malicious websites. The free service will always be free, though it has lost some of its luster in recent years as other free antivirus programs have entered the market.
Malwarebytes for Teams costs $37.49 per device per year and includes ransomware protection, zero-day malware protection, and phishing detection. It gives you access to Malwarebytes' local installation on Windows, Mac, and Android, as well as the Chrome browser extension.
If you don't require the extra features of the dedicated business plans, this is a great way to save money. Although the core protection is the same, Malwarebytes for Teams lacks the cloud-based management console and on-demand reports (it still comes with automated monthly reports, however).
Malwarebytes provides solid protection and a plethora of features, but it isn't as powerful as some of the competition. In a nutshell, it charges more and provides less. A single device's protection across your desktop and browser will cost around $40 per year. Meanwhile, Kaspersky charges around $40 for five devices for a yearâand the plan comes with a lot of extras.
Malwarebytes, unlike many antivirus services, does not provide an introductory rate on its plans. For example, the Kaspersky plan mentioned above costs the same as Malwarebytes charges for five devices upon renewal. This means you'll have to spend more money up front.
Furthermore, unlike Kaspersky and Bitdefender, Malwarebytes does not provide multi-year plans. Both of these services provide an introductory rate and allow you to purchase up to three years of coverage at once, which can save you a significant amount of money in the long run.
Technically, Malwarebytes is not more expensive than other antivirus services. However, when it comes down to it, the initial term ends up costing more. Malwarebytes Premium is an excellent choice for business use, owing to its ability to accommodate both small and large enterprises. Malwarebytes for Teams stands out due to its low price, which in some cases reduces the cost of competing small business services by more than half.
There are better options for personal use. While Malwarebytes does provide a generous free plan, there are other services that provide more features for the same price. For roughly the same price as Malwarebytes, Avira includes a PC cleaner, privacy optimizer, and local network protection.
However, those extra features may be insignificant. The best course of action is to download Malwarebytes and give it a try. The free personal service provides an introduction to how it works, and you can request a free trial of the business service. Malwarebytes isn't a bad option, but there are slightly better options depending on your needs.
