[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 782150, member: 72439"] Multiple participants here at MT have indicated that they believe Malwarebytes (MBAM) has "Jumped the Shark" -- that is... it is no longer the good security software that it once was. [INDENT]**Explanation for the phrase "Jumping the Shark"--[/INDENT] [INDENT][I]>>To "jump the shark" is the same as saying that "this once-good thing has now become absurd and dragged out," or "this has crossed over into stupidity and uselessness."

[B]"Malwarebytes Last in latest AV-Test Antivirus Test"[/B] [URL="https://www.ghacks.net/2018/11/27/malwarebytes-last-in-latest-av-test-antivirus-test/"]Malwarebytes Last in latest AV-Test Antivirus Test - gHacks Tech News[/URL] MBAM at one time did very well in AV tests. Now... like some other products that don't test well, they have all sorts of excuses and rationales. And like a few other products that don't test well, they basically quit being tested. When they were tested, they often finished poorly. [ATTACH=full]203274[/ATTACH] MBAM used to market themselves as a complementary product. Now they market themselves as an AV replacement. But it still can be used with most AVs. While MBAM is still decent at clean-up, that's been slipping too lately. What do you think? This poll is talking about Malwarebytes Premium protection, not the free secondary scanner or clean-up capability of the free product. [/QUOTE]
