Battle Malwarebytes vs Zemana vs HitmanPro

[SpectacularTheDude]

I had an issue with Malwarebytes premium lifetime keys I purchased at Amazon UK and now don't know if I'll still be able to use it anymore.

I have Kaspersky Internet Security already.

Right now I'm looking for a new Anti-Malware software and would like to know which of these below would you recommend in order (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and why would you recommend one over the other. I will buy for 3 PC's.

• Malwarebytes 3.0 (Premium)
• Zemana AntiMalware (Premium)
• HitmanPro malware removal (Premium)

I'm looking for the premium version because I like to have real time protection on.

Thanks!

Outside of Malwarebytes (but it's still pretty buggy), the other two aren't direct replacements for an AV, but instead a compliment to them. I would stick with Kaspersky since it's probably the best out there, and go with hitmanpro.alert which comes with hitmanpro and then you're covered for malware, exploits, and also have a second opinion scanner.

Yeah I won't leave KIS that's for sure
Since the license of my Malwarebytes is working as it should I'll keep it for now, but will still keep an eye on the other options.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware isn't actually a replacement for existing security software, but they can wish it is as much a they want. They're having a laugh lol.

Zemana!!

I choose Malwarebytes 3.0 (Premium) save many times by malwarebytes

So if you purchase HMPA you also get unlimited use of HMP scanner and removal?

Yes that's correct, for instance.
If you buy HMP, which is the scanner, you can only use that.
If you purchase HMP.Alert you can enter the key into HMP
and use both products and they will share the same expiration date

I run Kaspersky Total Security tweaked (as Evjl's Rain suggested) and HMPA together in real time. Doing this I get an on demand scanner HMP plus the benefit of things like keystroke encryption, safe browsing etc... I find they complement each other quite well.

Zemana or Hitmanpro Alert would be best! Malwarebytes is a total system resource hog, causes lag, and is not great in protection (Security First and other testers found its detection to be as bad as Windows Defender's).

 

[insanity]

Honestly, I wouldn't bother to have a premium Antimalware since you've already got Kaspersky. AFAIK, HitmanPro doesn't come with Realtime protection, and both Zemana and Malwaretimes realtime protection are really poor. My choice would be ZAM free as on-demand scanner. But if one is looking for a premium AM, then I would choose HMP.Alert instead.

Hello,
I'm using KIS 2017.
Is it possible to run together MBA 3.0 or HMP.Alert without conflict ?

 

[giants8058]

Based off their website, they are both compatible:
List of programs incompatible with Kaspersky Internet Security 2017

The version of HMP.alert on that list is an older version, but is now fully compatible.
Here is a thread at Wilders that their dev is a part of:
HitmanPro.ALERT Support and Discussion Thread

You can ask for yourself, but you'll be fine. KIS and HMP.alert is a solid combination (which includes HMP..so you get BitDefender signatures along with their own engine on top of Kaspersky sigs). I wouldn't bother with MBA. Don't know what happened, but they have fallen off lately. Do some testing on your own or check out some video reviews and you'll see for yourself. It's quite disappointing. Their PUP's detection is still really good, but everything else leaves much to be desired.

Thanks @giants8058

Is it possible to run together MBA 3.0

No conflicts here but i disabled all Mbam 3 real time protection layers which means "on demand" only ...

 

[giants8058]

No prob. HMP.alert offers a 30 day trial, so you can you try it out first if you want.
