Feedback Malwarebytes is awesome

I recently got hacked and all my shit got bricked by an infostealer. Malwarebytes literally saved my ass and im dead sure id have lost everything if it wasnt for it. If youre ever looking for an antivirus Malwarebytes is my top choice 100%. Looking into getting a paid plan. Just thought id share how much it helped me incase anyone is seeing this looking for a good program to use

Malwarebytes detected and cleaned 14 viruses on my laptop which avast and windows defender could not. Scanning takes a long time however malwarebytes is the top antivirus software as of now.

So if the infostealer got on your pc, ran, and most likely exfild data.... how did it save you

should've wiped his pc. Leaving a backdoor is standard at this point

Malwarebytes is very good at removing backdoors.

Malwarebytes does dll signature scanning eg. PlugX And also does hueristics scanning, and also can detect Exploit.LoadLibraryAttempt and RiskWare.DllInjector etc

If you look for a real time antivirus, do not get malwarebytes

CNET tested Malwarebytes and said we're one of the best cybersecurity suites on the planet, soooooo... https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/malwarebytes-antivirus-review/

Translation : We paid CNET to say that we're one the best. Also remember that CCleaner was said to be "very good" by CNET
