[QUOTE="goodjohnjr, post: 1005818, member: 73546"] With Malwarebytes Free, after the Premium trial period ends, it is then only a free on-demand scanner with detection & removal of malware / grayware / PUPs; so it will not be running in real-time in the background slowing down the computer, it will only slow things down a bit when you manually do a scan, and yes it can remove malware. I have been using Malwarebytes Free off and on for years as a free on-demand antimalware scanner, and [URL='https://www.malwarebytes.com/browserguard']Malwarebytes Browser Guard[/URL] as an extra security layer for protecting my web browser. Recently I uninstalled them as I often do as I try different security programs from time to time. I am currently using / testing [URL='https://www.sophos.com/en-us/free-tools/virus-removal-tool']Sophos Scan & Clean[/URL], which is a free portable on-demand antimalware scanner, that I have set to automatically scan on startup with Windows Task Scheduler. It is just one layer among several in my free layered security setup. [/QUOTE]
