Malwarebytes Premium 4.5 Latest Version 2022 Antivirus Software | 5 Device 1 Year (PC, Mac, Android) [software_key_card]

Malwarebytes is the standard every tech uses, either as the cleaner or the check to make sure they got everything manually. Buying in bulk is a great savings..

Installation is quick and easy. Software works well. My adult son prefers our using Malwarebytes to competing packages.

This product is extremely difficult to install. Tec help is awful.....I cant understand India accent. He was Not patient India and when i complied with his instructions he took control of my computer without telling me what he was going to do! He said i have control of your computer dont touch anything and said we had a bad connection he had to hang up and would call me back. What??? I shut off and unplugged my computer in fear of compromise. I have had this product twice with same problem both times. Will never buy it ever again.

When downloading it put a virus on my PC, will not use again.

The product identified 8 existing malware items on my network.

I am an APPLE User, and I own 3 DEVICES (Mac Book Pro, and iPad and iPhone) This Review in in context to my purchase of Malwarebytes Premium 4.5 Latest Version 2022 Antivirus Software | 5 Device 1 Year. When I downloaded and INSTALLED the Malwarebytes Premium APP on my iPhone and on my iPAD. The ONY protection offered is by way of an ADD BLOCKER EXTENSION for (that is to be installed on) SAFARI BROWSER. I use Google Chrome as my preferred browser. On the MAC BOOK PRO you get the MALWAREBYTES PROTECTION you are paying for. BUT I WOULD NEVER AGAIN pay for 3 devices, nor 5 devices --- when I only NEED MALWAREBYTES PREMIUM PROTECTION for just 1 device and only one device !!!!! When I purchased my prior Malwarebytes Premium Subscription for three devices, for 3 years -- I did have an ANDROID PHONE in the mix with my APPLE iPad and Mac Book Pro. THIS AMAZON PURCHASE WAS AN EPIC FAIL, for a non-refundable purchase!!

The box I received from Amazon - was empty. No software_key_card in the box. I have no idea who is at fault. Maybe a manufacturing problem at Malwarebytes with the machine thats supposed to put the card in the box. Maybe the problem was at Amazon. Perhaps an unscrupulous employee snaked the card from the box, replaced the tape seal with a new one. I dont know. But, what I do know is that I reported this problem to Amazon and to Malwarebytes. Amazon proved me the option of returning an empty box. What good would that have done? How would that prove that the software_key_card was missing upon arrival? Only Malwarebytes would know if I installed the product and then ACTIVATED it. So, Malwarebytes provided the missing key/license/activation code. Thanks to them, I now have a working, licensed edition of their product I can use.

I am familiar with older versions of MalwareBytes on Windows computers and android phones. The company has been around and was known for an efficient stand-alone anti-malware scanner. While the Premium version is not in the cheap tier for pricing, you can find legitimate keys for an affordable price by surfing around. What I like about MalwareBytes Premium is that it meets all of the criteria I have for an anti-malware security program. I beta tested antivirus programs in the 2000s so I am a little picky on programs that I pay for. Here are some things I look for: +Performance. Is the program stable? Does the real-time feature slow down browsing much? I have uninstalled some programs for that reason. I dont notice this program at all. It does run light! +Does it have a high detection rate on a test site that I check? MalwareBytes Premium has recently performed very well (in the top tier). Frankly, I wouldnt want a program that doesnt score in the high 90s. Thats what we pay for, detections and removal. +Update Frequency. This program can be set to update automatically and it can be set to check for updates every hour. In the month I have had MalwareBytes Premium installed the automatic update has always worked. +Configurability. This is a big factor for me, hence the long paragraph. This is also a strongpoint for MalwareBytes Premium. There are four Real-Time Protection components: Web Protection, Malware Protection, Ransomware Protection, and Exploit Protection. These components can all be de-activated. Probably not a great idea, but I still have the choice. In addition to those components there is also an optional Browser Guard that works for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and it even works on Brave! There are optional scan settings also. Examples are scans in archives, scans for rootkits, scans for Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) or Potentially Unwanted Modifications (PUMs). A scan scheduler is common with subscription security programs. MalwareBytes has it and it works flawlessly. On a minor note, there are options for changing the theme or appearance in this program also. +Usability. Even with all of the options available the screens are well-designed. Easy to navigate and clean. I like this program a little bit better than anything else I have tried. Thats personal preference in the configurability category and it has multiple real-time protection components. It can be install and forget like Avira for instance, or you can set it up for personal preference and pay more. I think its worth the extra price to have it.

It meets my expectations

Serial Number worked on the first attempt...great program...
