Ratings and reviews

Coming back after a year with Malwarebytes. They've added a pervasive and useless notification that's impossible to get rid of (already contacted support). "We're looking out for your device and data." I don't need that always in my notifications. It seems up be nothing more than an ad for something I've already purchased. I really don't appreciate that kind of manipulation tactic. Fix this.

Good so far but would like these features added to anti-theft: 1) add the ability to record the location when the battery gets low so if it gets lost or stolen and the battery dies then it's possible to have some idea of where it might be 2) add the ability to send a text with the pin and a code to my Android phone to cause it to lock, locate, or wipe. Update: 2 to 4 stars. The issue where it would download GBs of data is resolved. 3) give option to unlock apps via face detection as default

I like the app but, the annoying constant notifications to use their VPN are very annoying. Tried everything mentioned online to stop them but I still get the messages. I do not want to disable all notifications thus I will not renew my subscription. It it that difficult to give me the option to say 'no' to the VPN and never bother me again? I guess so. (I use Proton VPN and I am very pleased with it and will not use Bitdefender VPN.)

What’s new

An industry first!
- App Anomaly Detection is an extra layer of security that will alert you in case any app displays malicious behavior.
- Download scanner will make sure that your downloaded files are virus-free.
Find them both in the redesigned Malware Scanner once you update the app.
