Josh, I do not use MWB. I have AVG + Zone Alarm. Its seems OK for me. - kumar (If some one can convince me to move away and go to MWB, I am interested in hearing the value proposition)

Josh, $25 for MWB with lifetime license is a deal!

I use it, but I have the (so far) free Mac version. It was formerly a freeware program called AdwareMedic until it was purchased by Malwarebytes a few months ago. They will also be selling a business edition for the Mac soon.

Malwarebytes Premium Lifetime License ... Josh, << There are still Malwarebytes lifetime licenses available, but non-subscription licenses are getting harder to find. I checked antivirussales.com with the Better Business Bureau and they are okay. >> antivirussales.com I've been a bit leery of purchasing the Malwarebytes Premium lifetime license, not because of the firm offering it (which I consider to be a reputable source) but because I worry about occasional potential conflicts with my primary line of threat defense (frequently updated Norton Security suite) if run with real-time protection. I have however run Malwarebytes (Free) for years and generally have scanned once a week or so or if I suspect malware has slipped passed Norton which it seldom does. Your reminder prompted me to buy a lifetime product key for Malwarebytes Premium for my i5 Win10 Dell desktop purchased CyberWeek in November. Sure enough updated Malwarebytes tells me I have a lifetime license and I've been running it real-time since. No apparent conflict. Since the new machine was purchased in November Malwarebytes (now updated to Premium) history reports the quarantine of only one potentially malicious item (Photoscape 3.71 bundled with open candy back in early January-- I run v3.6). Still, I like the modestly priced extra layer of protection, so thanks for the reminder. Cheers, - Eric E-L -
