Overall Satisfaction with Malwarebytes
I am the I.T.
Admin. for our private k-12 school. We have been using Malwarebytes Premium
version for the past 3 years on most of our fifty (25) Admin workstations. We do not use
the addon VPN.
In addition to Malwarebytes, we currently utilize a subscription hardware firewall that scans
packets, provides for Intrusion Prevention Service, AV, Application Control, Web Blocker, Spam Blocker, Reputation Enabled Defense, and Botnet Detection.
So, we have a lot of protection. And believe me,
Malwarebytes still can find stop that makes it through the gamut and reaches
our workstations. And when that happens, Malwarebytes actively intercepts the
threats. It is not often, but it happens enough that the small price to pay per
machine is well worth the benefit.
All of our workstations are Windows
11 Professional. Some have mechanical hard drives, other SSD, and still others
NVME M.2. Every workstation that has Malwarebytes installed is still really
fast, that is to say, our machines do not appear to lag at all while running
Malwarebytes..

Pros
- Detects outbound traffic to known malicious sites.
- Very LOW resources required to run.
- Extremely low false positives.
Cons
- Could use a more intuitive menu system.
- I would like the expiration to be on the splash page.
- Positive Impact: Have not had to remediate malware/virus infections since installed.
- Positive impact: As far as browsing goes, we can boldly go where no man has gone before. No, really, I am confident when I am clicking on search engine results that if something get past my trained eye, Malwarebytes will pick of the slack.
I am old school, so Malwarebytes being installed means I do not need to use any other third party's protection. In the past I have used: McAfee, AVG, Avast, Panda, Adaware, Spybot, F-Secure, and the list goes on, but I don't need of those now!
