![]() We were offered the chance to have a 14-day trial of Malwarebytes Premium, and although this requires handing over an email address, there were no other hassles of any kind (we didn't even have to confirm our email.)Ĭhecking the Malwarebytes installation folders showed a relatively lightweight package with around 400MB of files, and just a couple of significant background processes. This didn't look a package that would slow you down, but AV-Comparatives' last Performance Test results suggested otherwise, placing Malwarebytes a disappointing 14th out of 17 contenders. Malware may try to disable antivirus before attempting to infect a system, so a good security app needs to be able to protect itself. We test for this by launching various attacks of our own - deleting files, closing processes, disabling services, more - and checking to see if our performance remains intact. (Image credit: Malwarebytes) URL Filtering Malwarebytes began well, with its core service beating off all our attempts to close it down, remove or disable it. ![]() Malwarebytes also provides simple URL filtering, detecting and blocking any attempts to access malicious links. This works at the network level, with no need for browser extensions, ensuring it protects all your apps. Results were only average in our tests, but even that's enough to be useful, and it's a worthwhile addition to the package.
