Malware Bytes Review

Malware Bytes Anti Malware has been relatively around a short amount of time but the functionality and options it gives you surpasses some of the programs that have been out longer. Malwarebytes does a through scan to make sure that rootkits, viruses, potentially unwanted programs (PUP’S), potentially unwanted applications (PUA’S) and more are found and removed from your machine if they are present

Layout

The Layout is simplistic showing everything off the bat and hiding nothing while making it easy and friendly to navigate, it provides easy access to the settings and scan options allowing you to run a quick scan to see if any threats are present, a full scan to clean up or custom scans to target only areas you think need checking like downloads for example.

When scanning the scan screen gives you visual heads up of how the scan is going, whether any threats have been found and what part in the scan it us up to. MBAM checks for updates weekly and every time a scan is run to make sure it is running at its peak before taking on threats to guaranty you best shot of removing all threats it finds.
