About this app

Your phone holds your entire digital life. Protect it with Malwarebytes.

From banking to photo memories, your phone carries your most personal information. We make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Malwarebytes delivers powerful, all-in-one mobile security against malware, online scams, identity theft, and more. All while keeping your Android device fast and optimized.

Malwarebytes is designed for everybody: professionals, families, even first-time smartphone users. No complicated setup. No IT expertise needed. Just easy, smart protection that works.

🛡️ REAL-TIME MALWARE PROTECTION

Malware is constantly evolving. From viruses to spyware to ransomware that locks up your files. If not caught in time, these online threats can steal passwords, compromise bank accounts, and hijack your entire identity.

Malwarebytes stops these threats before they reach you with:
- Automatic app and file scanning: New apps and downloads are checked for malicious code before it runs.
- Zero-day threat protection: Detect brand-new malware variants that other antivirus misses
- Ransomware shield: Blocks file-encrypting attacks that lock your device

🔐 IDENTITY THEFT PROTECTION & DARK WEB MONITORING

Millions of records are leaked in data breaches every year, even from top-trusted brands. Your emails, passwords, and more personal data may already be on the dark web.
Malwarebytes helps you stay ahead with:
- Digital footprint scanner: Scan dark web databases for exposed emails, passwords, and more sensitive data.
- Instant breach alerts: Get notified when your info appears in new leaks and steps to secure accounts.
- Identity theft protection: 24/7 monitoring with live-agent support and up to $2 million in identity theft insurance.

🌐 SECURE VPN FOR PRIVATE BROWSING
An incognito window can only do so much. No matter where you are, public Wi-Fi creates opportunities for hackers to steal your data and advertisers to track your every move.

Malwarebytes VPN keeps you private with:
- Secure browsing on public Wi-Fi: Hide your IP address from trackers and advertisers.
- Third-party audited no-logs policy: We don't track, store, or sell your browsing data.
- AES-256 encryption with WireGuard: Lightning-fast security across 62+ countries.

📵 AI-POWERED SCAM PROTECTION
Got texts about packages you never ordered? Prize alerts for contests you’ve never entered? Online scams are getting smarter, even impersonating trusted brands.

Malwarebytes Scam Guard flags:
- Phishing messages: fake delivery alerts, bank scams, etc.
- Malicious links: Real-time scanning of URLs in texts, emails, and messaging apps
- Evolving scams: Brand impersonation, AI-generated scams, social engineering attacks

🧹 DEVICE OPTIMIZATION
Security shouldn't slow you down. We keep your phone fast, clean, and running smoothly.
Malwarebytes optimizes for:
- Smart junk cleaner: Clean out junk and other unnecessary files.
- Storage analyzer: See what’s consuming space and what can be safely removed.
- One tap cleanup: Free up space in seconds. Goodbye, digital clutter!

⚡ SIMPLE, POWERFUL PROTECTION
Advanced mobile security doesn't mean clutter. We make it easy for everybody with:
- Clean dashboard: Security at a glance with color-coded indicators
- Lightweight performance: Minimal battery drain, even on older Android devices
- Set-it-and-forget-it protection: Scanning happens in the background

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?

Malwarebytes was able to detect and fix some PC issues caused by browser hijacks even though the antivirus software from Microsoft was ignoring them. The process was pretty easy and painless. Best of all I got to do it for free. The software is free to try and fully functional for a couple of weeks. Once I saw how well it improved and protected the affected computer I decided to get the family subscription. Just the security evaluation it does is worth the price. I'm a happy customer!

I was hoping the subscription would cover 3 devices. I was on the Malwarebytes website and I could have sworn it said the plus version covered 3 devices. Im glad I caught it before payment went through. I did not even see an option a where for a subscription that would cover 3 devices. I found this misleading. other that that I suppose its a good app. im using the free version and the free trial for 7 days. I hope they fix this so that we can have more than one devices added.
