1/31/2024 0 Comments Does malwarebytes work after trial![]() ![]() It’s probably not necessary for everyone, but I feel better with HMP.Alert running on the PC where I store important personal records. I have been running HMP.Alert for over 5 years on Windows 10, with very few issues that have mostly been false detections. It also includes a license for the Hitman Pro on-demand scanner. HitmanPro.Alert is a paid one-year license, that does what Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit does, and more. A no-brainer in my book and it is used regularly here!įor my main daily driver Win10 Pro desktop, I use the Microsoft Defender and Sophos HitmanPro.Alert, plus a couple of free on-demand scanners such as Emsisoft and MBAM free. Yes, that free Emsisoft scanner is portable and only runs on demand. I am also going to look into the Emsisoft Emergency Kit that you recommend as a secondary scanner. I have MBAE on my Win 7 laptop and I’ve never had any issues with it, but may be a different story on Win 10. Thanks John! Not sure if I really need that – but I will look into the cost of the premium version. On the other hand, Malwarebytes Free has, IMO, always offered a useful belt-and-braces adjunct to ‘Windows/Microsoft Defender’ (whatever it’s called this week) which I’ve now used exclusively for ~4 years. Despite regular contact with Malwarebytes support (and its forums) I just gave up… so I no longer install it, despite my browsing habits. ![]() Hopefully it’s improved since then, but I grew so very, very tired of the many and constant issues caused by it at the time. Me? I have a perpetual license for Malwarebytes Premium… but I haven’t installed or used it for more than three years. Last I knew, MS protection was sufficient for the SOHO user - is that still the case?Īt the end of the day it has to be *your* decision, based on *your* type of computer usage and taking into account whether you mean Malwarebytes Free (on-demand) or Malwarebytes Premium (always-on). I regularly update my firmware for the router and just got a new cable modem. ![]() My question – do I need Malwarebytes in addition to my standard MS protection? I do not have any additional antivirus or other software. Last I knew, MS protection was sufficient for the SOHO user - is that still the case? I used Recuva in an attempt to recover the past week of data, and then restored from backup. Did get a number of false positives and Web sites prevented that I had to override the past month, but no viruses or other infections identified.įinally, I downloaded CrystalDiskInfo and discovered my F: drive, where I had my downloads, had gone to the big resting place for external hard drives in the sky. So, I downloaded MalwareBytes, and nothing. Once I did all the housekeeping of cleaning startup, sfc, defrag, etc, opening up room on C: the only thing I had left was a deep scan. Over the past month, it took forever to boot from first power on to longin display. Have a small SSD C:, a traditional D: and 4 external hard drives for various things. ![]() Running on a Dell Inspiron 3670 i7 Intel and 16GB RAM I am currently operating Windows 10 21H2 OS19044.1889 ![]()
