Does Malwarebytes have discounts?

Yes, Malwarebytes is offering post-Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals . For instance, Malwarebytes provides up to 30% off its Ultimate plan. Ultimate includes all Malwarebytes’s features, including the unlimited VPN and comprehensive identity protection. So if you’d like a bundled VPN along with your antivirus bundle, you should opt for Ultimate (and you’ll get a 30% discount after Black Friday).

Does Malwarebytes offer a free plan?

Malwarebytes still provides a free version, but the paid plans are better. The free version is great for scanning and removing malware, and it offers anti-phishing protection as well, but that’s about it. Malwarebytes Standard , on the other hand, adds real-time protection and ransomware protection — it costs a reasonable $44.99 / year. It also has a 60-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to try it out risk-free.

Does Malwarebytes have a lifetime subscription?

No, Malwarebytes no longer offers a lifetime subscription. Both of its paid plans are only available as 1-year or 2-year subscriptions. My favorite plan, Ultimate , comes with a malware scanner, real-time protection, ransomware protection, web protection, an unlimited-data VPN, and comprehensive identity theft protection. It’s also discounted by 30% and backed by a risk-free 60-day money-back guarantee.

Can Malwarebytes detect ransomware?

Yes, Malwarebytes can detect ransomware . It provides real-time ransomware protection, which detected and blocked around two-thirds of the ransomware files on my device when I ran a ransomware simulation. Besides ransomware, Malwarebytes also protects against a variety of malware threats, including spyware, viruses, trojans, and more. During my tests, Malwarebytes detected 95% of the malware samples I threw at it.
