Malwarebytes 3.0
Malwarebytes releases a product to replace your antivirus software. https://blog.malwarebytes.com/malwar...s-replacement/ Quote:
With the combination of our Anti-Malware ($24.95), Anti-Exploit ($24.95) and Anti-Ransomware (free, beta) technologies, we will be selling Malwarebytes 3.0 at $39.99 per computer per year, 20% less than our previous products combined and 33% less than an average traditional antivirus. But don’t worry, if you are an existing customer with an active subscription or a lifetime license to Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, you will keep your existing price and get a free upgrade to Malwarebytes 3.0.

If I wanted paid for protection I would certainly give this a look, I have a lot of respect for the creator of Malwarebytes.

Just upgraded.
Tried to schedule a scan. Calendar starts at 1901 - that's a lot of clicking. Reported it of course. Saw little sense in having several programs to download independently of each other so this is a step in the right direction. |

It has been for a long time, one of the worst security products available. |

No, it's not. Just because you like it doesn't make it good.
It has been for a long time, one of the worst security products available. I may be inclined to agree that it's active protection is not worth the price and that the http update exploit took a long time to be patched AND that the new version is still beta in all but name - the update push hasn't happened yet. Thankfully because 3.0.5.1299 wouldn't install due to file locking that required Safe Mode to rename files. But, for a peace of mind 'on-demand' scanner it's hard to argue with. |

It has been for a long while, one of the 'go to' tools for malware removal. So just because you dislike it, it is certainly far from one of the worst security products.
