What's New in Malwarebytes

September 28, 2026

You might spot a new Scam Guard tab replacing Help in the tab bar (Help's moved under Settings instead). We're trying this out with a portion of users first, so don't worry if yours still looks the same for now. We've been hard at work making a series of small improvements and fixes. You might not notice each one on its own, but together they make a big difference.

Best protection I’ve had. Computer and phone are protected.

Deceptive iPhone Notification

I have this app on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and have no complaints. However, I get a iPhone notification that makes it seem that my iPhone has been hacked. Lo and behold, it’s just your company’s attempt to get me to add additional features on the app for additional an increased subscription price. And this isn’t a one time deal. It is shady and unethical.
