I guess it is nice to have as just another Anti-Malware Scanner to add to the mix, but I wouldn't pay for the commercial version as the "added features" just aren't worthy of the price they try to charge.

Lately, many of these common malware infections have mutated in an effort to prevent programs like MBAM from getting rid of them or even installing; Majorgeeks.com & Filehippo.com both have many legitimate programs in their antispyware/antimalware catagories that you may be able to put to use.

A trojan was identified but unable to be quarantined. 'Malwarebytes' was recommended by a security forum. I downloaded and ran a quick scan and problem solved very quickly. Would highly recommend. my computer gave a fake security warning which my -paid for- security system was unable to remove.

It linked me to a web page to dowload 'PC Antispy'. Needless to say I didn't download. Fake Alert would Pop-up every 10 minutes whilst I was connected to the internet. Used task manager to identify process as 'zuzunane.exe'. Tried Spybot search and Destroy, dowloaded (and paid for) Spyware Doctor, the programs would identify trojans and apparently eradicate them but the Fake alerts would continue. A Forum site 'geeks to go' gave rrecommended Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, so I downloaded, installed and ran (Must admit I didn't hold out much hope). It identified 'Trojan FakeAlert.H' and deleted it on Computer re-boot. Connected to internet and no longer was bombarded by the fake alert.

I ended up with some garbage virus's that fed porn and contant popups even with IE7 installed and also ended up with another malware known as Antivirus 2009. I downloaded and purchased PCTools and it did not fix the problem. I downloaded malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it cleaned up my computer. So for now, I am giving it two thumbs up.

It removes several varients that typical antispyware software doesn’t or can’t get rid of. It’s good for a clean-up. I don’t think the product is positioned as anything but an on-demand scanner at this point and quite frankly I think it’s better for it.
