The Best!

I have used Malwarebytes for so many years I can’t honestly remember!
But it was in the early times of Windows!
 Malwarebytes is the best protection you can buy. They have a great support team, ready and eager to help. The support team pus the product it’s self is unbeatable!
 It only cost a little more to go First Class! They work well with other Protection Programs!
Buy Malwarebytes!

Free scan costs

I can’t get a free trial or scan without paying $29.99 minimum. That’s not free. I find Malwarebyte’s “free” services are disappearing here and on pc.

Malwarebytes

Does what it says in helping to locate, identify and eliminate your critical info at/from data collection sites.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
