Emsisoft, Kaspersky are good replacements. If you are only using MBAM, then these 2 are better and you cannot go wrong with either of them.
Note- please install only 1 of Kaspersky and emisoft as both are full anti-malware/antivirus/security software if you are planning to go with either of them.

My malwarebytes premium expires today and I am looking for a replacement. Please do not make it to complicated in that I am not computer savvy as many of you on here are. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you

If you were using Malwarebytes Premium alone.... that's bad. Test data indicate that it's pretty suckass.

So virtually any of the well-known AVs will give you better protection.

I recommend: Bitdefender, ESET or Norton.

Can you post your computer security configuration?
You can get a much better answer when we know your current system and software.
chiiild I dont know if I can figure out how to do that
I read other peoples configs and half of it I dont even know what it is

Just in case you do not know,there is premium Internet security programs for sale on E-bay and Amazon,If your computer handled Malwarebytes without noticeable slowdown,pretty sure your computer can handle just about any program as Malwarebytes is a resource hog,I agree with stefanos Eset ,runs very light or Kaspersky {probally the best }, both are very good and better than Malwarebytes GL.

Don't use Malwarebytes as your main protection, it is perfectly fine as secondary protection which I recommend most people should have as I've yet to see a program that protects 100%.

Also, be very careful buying any software on Ebay, lots of cracked and/or fake versions.

If you were using Malwarebytes as secondary security a possible replacement is Crystal Security. Its developer is a member here, and it has done well over at the malware testing hub.
Thanks for mentioning Crystal Security i totally forgot about this program,glad Kardo is still there and improved 3.7 version look good Thanks!
