Once upon a time, a long time ago this app automatically ran scans on the days and times I requested. I had requested a daily scan to run at 12:30 AM, and I literally could set my clock by it. At that time, it also updated its database as needed. Fast forward to today. I can request a daily scan at a given time, but it almost never happens. Most of the time I have to do it manually. I do not request an automatic database update because it does it whenever, costing me a lot of data.

I love Malwarebytes for malware, and virus protection. For that reason alone, it's worth it. However, I am very frustrated with the VPN. It wouldn't auto connect (although I had it set for this), it disconnected constantly, and it made my phone extremely slow. I finally disabled the Malwarebytes VPN, and got another one, and all is great, but I wish this one had worked.

Hi, sorry for the VPN issues you faced. Since March 2025, we’ve acquired AzireVPN, a Sweden-based privacy-first provider. With our own infrastructure and engineers now powering the service, performance and reliability have improved significantly.

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!
