Malwarebytes Premium 4.0.1 - A Worthy Contender

[Cortex]

I've just given Mbam another whirl since I updated the PC with Ryzen 5, 32 GIG Corsair Vengeance RAM respectably decent ASUS board thinking there would be no impact, there is - The noticeable impact of KIS is unnoticeable, Adguard no difference - Mbam a much bigger impact. I'm not buying new gear to have it slowed down by a anti-malware program to my last build, it really is mad - If Mbam cant fix it fair enough but the fact it slows a half decent PC down makes it for me useless - I also tried Emsisoft, virtually no difference - Just my opinion.

EndangeredPootis in you're test did you pair malwarebytes with the browserguard? Browserguard will detect more sites as malicious then the antimalware application itself increasing the protection.

I am fully aware of that, but since I forgot to test their website protection it didnt really matter, I will do a quick test and update the thread.

Edit; updated, managed a good job on blocking all malicous sites, however it only managed to block half of phishing sites and the extension did not improve the detection rate.

I love malwarebytes and have a lifetime key but i cannot stand how sluggish it makes my system. they have improved detection but they need to work on getting it to run lighter!! They have all the resources to do so not sure why it's been so heavy for so long...

it is a ram hog. i guess most paying customers have the money to pay, meaning they likely have the money for newer systems which can easily handle the ram gobbling. so it's likely a management decision. eventually, everyone will have to update their systems, so they're going to wait it out, heheh.
