I read the article 3 times and it seems the author doesn't have much nice things to say about it and or contradicts himself. More is said about other AV's and or the PAID version...
There's something strange 'neath your PC's hood. Antivirus failed, and it don't look good. Who ya gonna call? Malwarebytes! For many years, Malwarebytes has been the go-to solution when other antivirus products drop the ball. but Malwarebytes 3.0 Free is still available to clean up malware's messes. It's still an excellent tool, although it didn't perform as well as the last version in my testing.
My favorite part, he performs his own test, got infected and calls on MB to the resue and I quote "One ransomware sample had time to do its dirty deeds before the scan removed it. There's nothing a cleanup-only product could do to prevent that." and regarding the test he ran he stated "The results were disappointing"
REREAD it the 4th time, Author seems to be having a very difficult time recommending it and tried to find some positive point, ITS FREE!!! Its not first line defense.
I must have read it wrong, someone please take the tin foil hat off my head.....
