As a retired commercial fisherman, I have a very limited income, & I am very appreciative of any assistance that I receive.
How many "free" helping hands are offered to you? Malwarebytes has provided a "free" safety program to me with their "free scan" that supplements the programs that are on my computer.

Disappointing product

Disappointing product. The scans are comparable to most of the free anti virus products I've used in the past. I use an ad blocker and never see ads on websites but the minute I installed Malwarebytes and started using their web protection ads showed up on EVERY SITE I used. And the ads were those click bait, privacy worrisome kind of ads. When I turned off the web protection I stopped seeing the ads. Considering I paid $42 for this app I did not expect that. Double dipping. I cancelled the automatic renewal and notified paypal of it to prevent Malwarebytes from renewing anyway.

This is a great product that keeps your online experience safe as well as maintaining your files and apps from viruses and spyware. It does not nag you about adding extra features to generate more money but it does suggest ways to improve your security footprint. The absolute BEST anti-virus in my opinion and I highly recommend it to my service customers.

Not a happy customer

EDIT....
After being contacted by Customer Services, the matter has now been dealt with in a very satisfactory manner.
I have been a customer for a few years and find Malwarebytes fare value for money as it does it's job
What I am not happy about is that about a month ago I received an e-mail stating that my renewal was due, but my payment card was due to expire soon (wrong). Although the e-mail looked genuine, having many correct details, I still thought it might be a scam, so did not reply to it, instead sending a copy direct to Malwarebytes 'not via the link on the e-mail. Due to no reply, I sent a second e-mail, still no reply received.
So I don't know if it was a mistake on Malwarebytes part or the e-mail was a scam.
I know of at least another person having received the same e-mail, who is also being ignored by Malwarebytes.
This is not good customers service!
EDIT Just logged into my account. Tried to correct my card expiry date due to Malwarebytes having the wrong expiry date, Still stated card not accepted due to expiry date, so I renewed using the same card, renewal accepted, so the e-mail I had received was from Malwarebytes, but their system is faulty.

Digital Footprint SCAM!!

Malwarebytes offers a service to identify protection. Digital footprint, they offer a free scan.
I tried not with my personal email but a secondary that I use for other purposes. That email never had scams or spam emails before, so as i added my email to the digital footprint to scan it didn't report anything with my email as it should but the following days I just received scam and spam emails like crazy! and i still receive them occasionally, I'm glad I didn't paid a subscription to this company and I'm not ever planning to after this!

Doesn’t work as it should

I kept seeing people online claim that this antivirus is the best on Mac, and the moment I found a good discount I grabbed a 2-year subscription. Unfortunately, it completely fails to deliver on what it promises. It makes a lot of mistakes for example, it flags your VPN as a threat. It doesn’t work with Private Relay, which means the web protection doesn’t work either.

But the most disappointing part is that it simply doesn’t detect viruses. Just yesterday I received spam with a .pdf attachment I knew immediately it was malware. I scanned my Mac with Malwarebytes, and it found nothing. Then I switched to ESET: it instantly detected the malicious attachment in the email and removed it. That’s the level of protection I expect.

On top of that, Malwarebytes constantly pushes you to buy their VPN. There are no advanced settings, there is literally just a single “scan” button, and when you press it you don’t even understand what exactly it’s scanning. I strongly do not recommend using this antivirus on Mac. It has almost no configuration options, practically no reports, and gives the user no insight into what the software is actually doing. I deeply regret buying it.

I tried to get a refund because I bought two years in advance, and I asked them to return the money for the second year that hasn’t even started yet. The purchase was made on 06/27/2025, I used it for less than half a year, and I wasn’t asking for a refund for the first year at all. But they refused to refund the second year, hiding behind their 60-day refund policy. A good product wouldn’t need such heavy discounts in the first place.

I do not recommend Malwarebytes, and I’m extremely dissatisfied with the way they treat their customers.

Hi there,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and that our product didn’t meet your expectations, especially after choosing a multi-year subscription. We understand how frustrating that can be, and we appreciate you taking the time to share detailed feedback.

Regarding detection, Malwarebytes uses behavior-based and real-time protection - meaning some files, like malicious PDFs, may not be detected just by sitting on the device but would be blocked when they are opened or when they attempt to execute malicious behavior.

That said, if something wasn’t detected as expected, we definitely want to investigate. We’d be happy to analyze the sample you received, so our researchers can review it and improve detection where needed.

We also appreciate your comments about configuration options, reporting, and visibility into scans on Mac. These are areas we’re actively working to enhance, and feedback like yours helps guide those improvements.

As an update for the refund, our team has responded to the ticket you provided and we've provided a full refund. While this refund doesn’t change what happened, we appreciate the chance to address your concerns and learn from your feedback.

We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve.

Sincerely,

### ⭐ Malwarebytes Saved My Sanity—and My Wife’s Computer

Twelve years ago, I was drowning in a sea of viruses and malware. I had tried everything—Norton, McAfee, Spybot S&D, and other antivirus programs—but none of them could fully protect my computer or my wife’s. She ran a daycare and often clicked on coloring pages for the kids, only to be hit with redirect links and infections. I spent countless hours removing viruses, reformatting drives, and reinstalling programs. It was a nightmare.

Then a friend recommended Malwarebytes.

I started with the free version on my wife’s computer. Almost immediately, she began receiving alerts—Malwarebytes was actively blocking threats. She’d call out every time it stopped something, and I realized: *this actually works*. For the first time in years, I wasn’t constantly fixing her computer.

After a year of flawless protection, I upgraded to the Pro version. That was over a decade ago, and I haven’t looked back. I haven’t had to repair her computer or reformat a drive since. Malwarebytes has been a fortress against the bad guys and girls online.

If you’re tired of fighting malware and wasting time, Malwarebytes is worth every penny. It’s the best security software I’ve ever used—and I’ve used them all.
