all was going well and I was impressed with the 7 day trial version which I installed today. did the footprint check and it invited me to 7 day trial of plus version. I agreed and it stated would be billed 25 July. so I continued and was charged £45 immediately!! not happy as should have had 7 days free trial. this all within 1 hrs of installing app. I have cancelled within 10 mns of being charged and would like a refund please. I have requested one through Google Play as can't contact you.

This review is subject to change, but as of now, I am far from pleased with this app. I paid for a subscription to deal with intrusive pop-up ads, which have made using my phone nearly impossible. Little or no improvement thus far, and I am having difficulty contacting support. It may be necessary to cancel my subscription.

Won't let me past "turn on notifications" screen. App is forcing me to turn them on. Why? What's so important that I need them on? I've read that your notifications are mainly trying to sell upgrades and act more like ads than actual notifications. What say you? Edit 1: I can't issue a ticket cause the app won't let me past the mandated notification setup. It wasn't updated per your reply. still forces one to allow notifications before moving forward. why can't y'all get this right?

What’s new

Malwarebytes 5.18 is here - and spammers won’t love it.

We leveled up Scam Guard and Text Protection with smarter detection rules and a brand-new backend built to crush shady spam tactics even faster.

It’s stronger, sharper, and still smooth as ever-cybersecurity that works quietly in the background so you don’t have to think about it.

Enjoying Malwarebytes?
