Review of Malwarebytes Home Premium

Malwarebytes is primarily an antimalware tool, not an antivirus package, which was first released in 2006. Most users use this tool to scan their PCs for malicious content. Since it is free, it is a very popular tool.

Features
Again, the functionality is very limited, but it’s not a complete package, just an anti-malware tool. If you choose the free version, you can’t go wrong choosing the free version.

Safety
It is probably the best antimalware tool on the market. The company focuses only on this role and therefore has more time to master it. When other companies incorporate additional features like browser cleaners, password managers, etc., they have more time to develop and less time to focus on antimalware.

Support
The Malwarebyte Help Center offers many frequently asked questions, numerous user manuals in the form of documents and videos, and a ticketing system. They don’t seem to offer phone or chat support, perhaps because the software is so simple.

Affordability
As mentioned above, it is a free tool. However, you can switch from the free version to the paid solution (available for PC only), which adds mix analysis scheduling, real-time protection, and flash memory analysis. Malwarebytes Home Premium costs $59.95 per year for 3 devices, what we believe is the amount of functionality you get. You can opt for a complete antivirus package for a similar price.
