User reviews

Some what confusing.

Am I signed in or not. Some times, while navigating this site I feel compelled to repeatedly sign in. The sign in panel is always present.

A but user unfriendly, but a great app nonetheless!

Malwarebytes offers a great service, and I would highly recommend it! I mainly use it for the spam-blocking features, and it’s honestly a lifesaver.

The only gripe I have with it is that it asks for a subscription at the start with no way of denying it, making setup a little bit harder. Here’s what you have to do to get access to the app without a subscription:

1. Click on any of the free trials and go through with the subscription (trust the process).
2. Navigate to Settings > (Your Account) > Subscriptions
3. Turn off the subscription.

Instead of doing all of that, a different process could be used:

1. Choose a free trial (no charge if you forget the deadline)
2. Use the app
3. No subscription, no problem

Overall, though, this is a great application, and I would highly recommend it, if not for the app’s setup.
