    So basically, if you want to use the free version of the app, you have to sign up for a trial first and then remember to cancel it. But if you don't have enough money in your account or on your credit card, you won't be able to even use the app. It seems like Malwarebytes is banking on people forgetting to cancel their trial subscriptions or encountering an "issue" when trying to cancel, so they end up charging those users who just wanted the free version. Not everyone catches this sneaky move or bothers to dispute it, so Malwarebytes ends up making money from them. If they weren't aiming to make this extra cash, they would just let users access the free tier directly instead of going through all this trouble. The fact that they don't do that speaks volumes about their intentions.

    It's really annoying whenever I click the "update database" button, but nothing happens to show it's actually working. And those target links at the top of the screen haven't been working for a while—it's so frustrating! I'm not even sure if Malwarebytes is doing a good job at keeping my system secure. It sure is taking up a lot of disk space, and I can only hope it's actually worth it. But I'd definitely prefer more than just hope when it comes to my security software.

    Yeah, Malwarebytes is pretty awesome! Sometimes they can be a little persistent with their upgrade reminders and the active scanning feature might make your computer a bit slow, but it's totally worth it. I work in IT too, so whenever I suspect malware on a computer or mobile device, I always turn to Malwarebytes for help. Having the free version handy is great for quick scans when needed.

    Wow, Malwarebytes has really stepped up its game since I last gave it a shot in 2015. Back then, I couldn't even make it through a scan without it crashing on me. But now, it's running super smoothly and doesn't slow down my device at all, even when it's actively scanning for threats. Right now, I'm testing out the free premium trial, and honestly, I'm planning to sign up once the trial is over. Just a heads up though, if you decide to purchase a license for one device directly from the Malwarebytes website, it'll cost you around four times more than if you buy it from the Play Store.

    Awesome! So, I had this annoying virus on my phone that kept popping up random Google pages and showing ads every time I used it. It was super frustrating. But then, I discovered this app that promised to fix all these problems. And guess what? It actually worked! In just about a week, my phone was back to normal. No more lags, no more pesky ads. It was like magic! I highly recommend this app to anyone dealing with similar issues. Trust me, it's worth a try! 😊
