Will MBAM Protect Against ALL Malware? - Comments Page 3

I used MBAM free for several years but became tired of thinking "I haven't run a scan in a while. I had better run one". Of course it then found some things usually nothing too serious. I thought for $25/year I get full time scanning and some other bonuses mentioned in the article. I find it somewhat amusing that there are so many complaints about having to pay $25/year. How do you think the software gets generated and kept up to date; the 7 dwarfs? ALL of the free AV's have a paid version with added features. Of course it is our choice whether to pay or not. I like free as much as the next person but for some things "you get what you pay for!". I run a free AV which works well, Avast as it happens, and MBAM Pro is the only software that I pay for and I am happy with my decision! My only complaint about MBAM Pro is that you have to actually be in an admin account to do the original install and install program updates. I run Win 7 and you should be able to use "Run as Administrator" but alas no. It is only a minor inconvenience. BTW I always run as a regular account except where absolutely necessary.

I've got 3 machines running paid versions of MBAM and all 3 also run the latest free version of Malwarebytes AntiExploit (there's paid versions of this also). I also run MSE on 2 machines and the free Avast on the win8.1 my wife has. Avast let 346 malware problems in a weeks time. It also went through MBAM and MBAntiExploit. I ran Chameleon on her machine which enabled MBAM to run which cleaned up her machine. (Apparently, she didn't pay attention to the flag MBAM set that Malicious Website Protection was off. I could not turn it back on again until I ran Chameleon. Thanks Malwarebytes - you've got my back.

I am using ABAM paid version and still have been contaminated with an Ad malware program that cannot be deleted. MBAM staff have been helpful but cannot get rid of this nuisance. It appears on every web site I open and shows 9 empty ad fields that fill in with ads if left for a few seconds. Each one of the nine, has to be eliminated before proceeding with the web site. You cannot imagine how frustrating this is.
