Ah, the grand Halloween horror show returns! Malwarebytes truly excels at being a letdown—consistency at its finest. But poor AVG… barely haunting the scoreboard when it promised a clean exorcism.

Bad test for Malwarebytes , BG need some time to initialize and no deep scan was performed.

What does “took to long” mean?
And “Over All”…

Asking for a friend.

Also, MalwareBytes scan engine falls into the NGAV category.
So comparing this engine scan speed and performance against AVG (definitions galore) is a useless excercise.

Rats, and I thought there would be 4 carved pumpkin icons on the AVG UI

Norton in 2011 or something had some 4 keys that you could hit and it was changing 4-5 themes. None of them were halloween themed but yeah. It was there

In my opinion MBAM is not yet on the same level as AVG. GenD is lightyears ahead.

They are trying but yeah. Not much competition between the two. Though MBAM has very efficient web protection and they apply it system-wide.

Yup Malwarebytes has browser guard and the in house application for web protection combined they are VERY POWERFUL! I think some fail to realize that although Malwarebytes didn't see a perfect score the system was still going unlike other tests. They continue to try and have made big leaps they got identity protection, and now own their own in house VPN which has a great policy. They did this all in 1 year!

Always have a soft spot for MBAM, last time I checked the fact they still honor lifetime licenses is a real plus. It's protection scores go up and down but they always rebound.

Oh man. I wish I could have get one of those lifetime licenses of MBAM back then.
K7, Vipre, Superantispyware are the other ones I remembered which offered lifetime licenses.

I offered them Sirius... No response. This would fix the up and down .

Honestly MBAM should buy your company and incorporate your tech into their software offerings . They did that with WFC and their dev and it's worked out fine

Me too, have a lifetime license that I use on and off.

It would be a killer combo for a lot of reasons. Then again, the tech we have developed the last 15 years would be a great combo with a lot of other products. I might start a new thread to see which products would be the best match. Sirius turned out much better than expected, so I would like to do something more than just internal use.
