Remove malicious software from your PC with malwarebytes anti-malware

Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware is designed to find and remove malicious software from your computer. It can run quick and full scans and is designed to work alongside antivirus software.

Installation is easy and will offer you the option to update the program. This was very quick.

The interface is clear and easy to navigate with tabs for the major options. These cover updating the software and checking the quarantine area where suspicious files are stored.

The quick scan is just that and won't disturb you from other tasks on the computer.

There are some useful options that can be set such as closing down Internet Explorer during threat removal. It also adds references to the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer and will save the results of a scan to a log file. Files and folders can be marked to be ignored.

There is a premium version of Anti-Malware that includes a realtime protection module, automatic malicious site protection, scanner and update scheduler and priority customer support. This version costs around £16.
