Those who purchase the full version receive a license key via email which includes a lifetime of free upgrades and support. Keep in mind that Malwarebytes does not act as a real-time protection scanner for every file like an anti-virus program so it is intended to be a supplement, not a substitute. The Protection Module is not intrusive as it utilizes few system resources and should not conflict with other scanners or anti-virus programs. The full version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware includes the ability to schedule updates and provides a real-time malware protection module that stops malicious processes before they can infect your computer. As for MBAM, I use the free version for on demand scans. Please finish up there with m0le before making any changes to your system not called for by m0le.īut to answer your question, I highly recommend Avast.
