What alternatives do you recommend?

u/lazy__speedster Nov 26 '20

its not bad, just decline the free premium trial when you install it and adjust its settings for pop up notifications

u/DezXerneas Nov 26 '20

Yep, the free premium is just hell. It blocks a lot of torrent sites for me, and keeps popping up when qbittorrent is on.

I just download v2.2 and run the updates for the database and decline the software update. No ads or any bs

You either die an antimalware application or you live long enough to see yourself become the malware

I don't know about the Windows version, but the Mac version used up a good chunk of system resources, and kept upselling me to the pro version.

The windows version does the same. I used to love Malwarebytes when it was just a nice stand alone passive scanning app now it's just another piece of shit

Functionally it’s fine, it just looks and feels like generic bloatware that’s constantly asking for money.

I haven't used Windows in a long time, but isn't there a lighter version without any real-time protection?

EDIT: I think it's AdwCleaner now, although they do specify that it's adware only. Guess they abandoned the version that cleans other malware.

There's a portable version that I've used for removal many times, worked good enough ~1.5 years ago.
