This app is not for me. I find it difficult to navigate & it doesn't seem to do much other than frustrate me. The digital footprint never worked for me at all. I thought this app might make security issues easier to deal with but it leads to contention instead. The most I got out of this app was vpn. If it was a one time charge it might be a different story but every year, no way.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. If you unsubscribe we also have a freemium mode which is accessible by tapping X on the paywall and there is no ad's or any obligation to start a trial

This review is subject to change, but as of now, I am far from pleased with this app. I paid for a subscription to deal with intrusive pop-up ads, which have made using my phone nearly impossible. Little or no improvement thus far, and I am having difficulty contacting support. It may be necessary to cancel my subscription.

I used to love Malwarebytes, as it was the most reliable anitvirus I've had for the past few years. Unfortunately, after I switched devices, I couldn't access the scanner without having to put in my credit card information for the free trial. For many reasons, I refuse to put in my credit card. Very disappointing, I hope someday the devs will release an update that adds a skip button.

We missed the mark on our free mode access for Android - we made it too hard and confusing to access.Thanks to feedback from loyal users like you, we made changes and now getting to free mode is easy. Starting in version 5.7.0, you'll see "Explore features" at the bottom of the subscription screen - simply tap that and you're in free mode.

What's new

Malwarebytes 5.18 is here - and spammers won’t love it.

We leveled up Scam Guard and Text Protection with smarter detection rules and a brand-new backend built to crush shady spam tactics even faster.

It’s stronger, sharper, and still smooth as ever-cybersecurity that works quietly in the background so you don’t have to think about it.
