Hi, While this is not a glitch as such, I am thinking on buying a copy of malwarebytes. It is my first time purchase of this sort other than Trend software so I was wondering, do you have any advice to offer please. Robert.

In my opinion malwarebytes has proven itself to be one of the best out there and is a must have for any computer.When I get a new computer it is the first thing I add.

Thanks for your reply Geo. That poses another question, I take it then malwarebytes is NOT transferable to a new computer, as I was thinking of buying one. Robert.

If you get the free version you would just download that to the new computer. In the paid version I would think you could transfer that to a new computer also but I am not sure. I cant see why not.

No, you would have to download the software to any new or different computer as Geo says. You can't transfer the program. If you have the paid or Pro version, you would just download, install and enter your ID information on the new computer. That would reactivate the Pro version on the new or different computer. You can only have one license per computer.

If you have the free version, you would also have to download to any new or different computer.

Hi Draclvr, as per my original post, do you have any advice? Robert.

The "Premium" version of MalwareBytes is $24.95 per year and per PC.
So if you have 2 PC's, you'll pay $49.90 per year.
Ask yourself if you need the features that come with the premium version and that aren't in the free version.

While there may be some other "extras" with the premium version, for the most part what it does is run in real time along side your anti-virus program. If you have problems with getting malware on your computer a lot, it might be worth it. I know it stopped something nasty from getting on my 90 year old mother's computer when I was 600 miles away and couldn't have done anything. She got a warning and called me. When I got up there a few months later, I looked at the log and it was one of those ransomeware nasties.

But that was back when I grabbed about half a dozen licenses for $15 each during a Newegg sale and they were a lifetime license. Like Jenny says, you have to ask if the $25 per year per computer is worth it. If you have the free version, you would just be sure to run it regularly to get rid of anything that might have crept on to your computer.

MalwareBytes has a Black Friday deal, you get an additional 6 Months free for the same price, if you or anyone else is still interested.

Reason for edit, was wrong about the promotion being good for the US only. Sorry for the confusion.
