Removal Effectiveness:   Excellent

There have been very few infections that we have come across that Malwarebytes has not been able to fix. We have seen it in the most heavily infected computer systems, so lagged and bogged down with malware, spyware, and viruses that they barely run. Another thing about MBAM is that it’s a little known name. Malware that usually targets and disrupts big name antivirus programs usually don’t even see MBAM, giving it a rare advantage. Overall, Malwarebytes Anti-malware is definitely the weapon of choice for the fight against malware.

System Performance:   Excellent

Malwarebytes features top-notch performance, and doesn’t require a bunch of computer resources to get the job done. Anyone who is looking for a small removal tool will want to choose Malwarebytes over any other. Its scanning utility is un-matched among others for malware removal. With the pro version that has real-time protection, scheduled tasks and automatic Virus Database updates, it matches the likes of big name companies providing the same products.

MBAM has become a trusted name in the tech community. It’s known for being quick and precise. It has the ability to remove almost any virus or malicious software without damaging the windows operating system and registry itself, unlike many other programs of its kind. As we mentioned earlier, the included File Assassin tool even lets you unlock and delete files that other software can’t.

One of the best advantages of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is its versatility. Anti-Malware isn’t an extravagant program, so its small size (single install file) is something to be reckoned with, because it can be carried and installed anywhere. The flexibility and amazingly small size of the program make it a completely portable solution.

Scan Performance:   Excellent

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware features excellent resident real-time protection as well as thorough scanning. Anti-Malware’s scans can be scheduled to run at specific times or intervals. As with any anti-virus/spyware/malware program, the full scan can take some time, but it is very thorough. A quick scan on our test computer took only 2 minutes, and the full in-depth scan took just over 8 minutes.

The scan uses as few computer resources as possible, so you can keep working while the scans are running, with little noticeable slowdown. After a scan is completed, you are presented with a report log displaying the scan details, specific threats found and access to the tools to remedy them.
