Malwarebytes Anti-Malware


To start off my very first post, i want to write about Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. This is currently the only free antivirus software i use. There is a paid version but i have not used that, so no comments there.
Of all the anti-virus free ware i have used, Malwarebytes is easily the best. It is easy to use and is comprehensive in it's search. The free version does have it's flaws, you have to restart our computer to get rid of any infections detected and there is no auto-run option (i believe the full version has this). Aside from that, the programme keeps logs of scans and quarantines infections for you to look through and either recognise the infections as acceptable or delete them (a feature which stands out to me). This freeware doesn't prompt you every time you open it to purchase the full-version, it doesn't add any extra software when you install it and does not have any annoying pop-up warnings that other real time virus detection has. It is neat and efficient. This is the only antivirus software that i have seriously considered purchasing the full-version, and i would recommend it for all computers.

Side note: No idea how this works on a Mac or Linus, etc.
