For those that are curious about the test script malexmb.py, it is only slightly modified version to detect minor delays in the malware being blocked (1s). Also, we are currently running a poll about what antivirus you use. Vote here: www.strawpoll.me/20717131/r
you did a very thorough and well thought out job Leo. thanks! i think most of us have used Malwarebytes in some capacity over the years even though it wasn't as our primary. it's nice to see the improvements.
Thank you for the great review. I use Malwarebytes for 11 years now (I bought it when you got a life-long version) and the new good results are nice to see.
Would be great to show some kind of graph/visual at the end comparing the currently tested tool (alongside detection and response success rate, version, price, etc... ) with previously tested tools as well
@@MindMonkeyFTW i bought it long time ago, i doubt it''s available i was 2 keys, for 4 or 5 years :/ look on ebay, people resell them, maybe u can get ok-deal
@@TheChemicalWorkshop I bought a lifetime key for 1€. Not from Malwarebytes but from a Shoppy site (unofficial, but it still works). The key only works for the Malwarebytes program, not the website.
I know years ago with Symantec, it would detect if a companion app was running on the server. If it was, it would trust the server install to do it's job and not scan files being executed from the server. Otherwise, you'd have the performance hit of scanning the file twice. I wonder if something like that is going on here.
I just bought the newest version and i gotta say that it works pretty good , i use it along with Windows defender as a 2 layer defense along with other custom laptop setups .. I used all the options i seen in you vid and i feel safer browsing the web
Great test; really glad to see some comments here from MB themselves. I've used MB as a secondary for years, good to see they're constantly improving and adapting. Thanks again, Leo.
Well Done! I have MB for about 2 years now and it catches things my NAV never did. I wont do without it. BTW just did an update to version 4.1.2 Aug 7th
I bought malwarebytes back in 2013 which have a lifetime license. Even though I don't really use Windows 10 these days, malwarebytes is probably the least resource hogging antimalware solution which I glad that I bought a lifetime one since it's great on blocking bad domains
I see many people talking about stacking AVs which is just silly and not very wise if you are thinking of having them all active together. Now Having a separate scanner that only runs if you actually open it isn't too bad as long as it doesn't cause any conflict. Overall, it is way better to just install one at a time, scan the system, then Uninstall and install the next one. Rinse repeat until you have all your problems fixed. Then go back to your 1 preferred primary AV scanner. You ONLY need to install a separate scanner if your current AV didn't detect or fix the problem you have. Hell I had to use Spybot Search and Destroy to find some annoying Adware i got in my system that 4 other Highly rated AVs couldn't detect including Bitdefender which would just zap the pop up itself but wouldn't fully remove the adware itself. It's best to use 1 antivirus program alongside a system cleaner to fix errors, registry, and speed up overall PC performance. IOBIT has a few descent system cleaners (Sadly their AV product really sucks.)
I found your channel lately and I'm happy that there is someone testing all of those antiviruses, but I have big request, could you test again Comodo antivirus? Its been almost 2 years since last test you did and I work in pc service industry. We are installing this antivirus on most clients machines that want to reinstall their system. So it would be great if you could revisit it on near future.
hope for a test on the typical freeware MB version, the kind most will use vs premium pay version, when the trial expires - BTW: I let the video with all the ads run, then replayed it (no ads 2nd run !). supporting the good work
@@icebearreal I dunno what you mean by "execution parent" but if your AV detects an exe., with few exceptions, then it's probably best to just delete it.
You are AMAZING! + Thank you for restoring my faith in Malwarebytes. Would you please comment on how Malwarebytes and BitDefender are different? Does the Malwarebytes have the same level of AI as BitDefender? I am mostly concerned with direct attacks, for example if an Admin of a router that you are connected to, tries to hack you. Or if other computers in the network are infected. Do you have any comment on this? Your point of view will be very welcome!
I'm a dedicated user of Bitdefender, but recently I have had a persistent Trojan Script that I was unable to remove. I downloaded the free version of Malwarebytes and it resolved the issue after the first scan.
Exceptionally valuable content !!! thank you so much !! it is so hard to find objective and neutral evals for all these endpoint protection tools. INSTANT SUB !! My company is evaluating a few NGAV/XDR platforms, could you do Carbon black , crowdstrike and PAN XDR in an upcoming video ?
7:17 Can you not check that with sfc /scannow? 14:38 I've been using Malwarebytes for years, I was one of the lucky early adopters who were given lifetime licenses because of this so I've only ever paid once for it.
Update: I pulled the trigger on my Mac and I'm glad I did. Side note, I have a very fast Mac and the scans only take 3 seconds! Also, I like how it dies hourly scans and definition update checks.
Interesting that Malwarebytes couldn't detect an executable starting from the shared folder. I wonder if it has something to do with your virtualization software treating it as being run with hypervisor rights.
Showing Key at 4:14 :O But i think noone could use it, because its sticked to malwarebytes Account? And as always: nice Video :) im enjoying your Content, thanks :)
Just FYI for future videos that may kill Malex by looking at the process chain, you should open a process but spoof it's parent process ID. This would've helped in, for example, the cylance video.
Never clicked on a video so fast... Huge fan of PC Security Channel. However, 1. Malwarebytes reaching out to you. 2. You creating a specialized malex without telling what exact changes are there in malexmb.py. I hope they didn't sponsor this video tho. Likely not because u work for Emsisoft so won't sponsor a competitor software :)
Awesome videos. Been happy watching. Have you tested Malwarebytes EndPoint protection? Their business level protection? I have it at some of my clients.
I used to have malwarebytes as my AV but because one thing and other, now i use eset net sec as my AV But i admit malwarebytes was very recomended AV 👍🏻
Noting that I dont use Windows myself anymore, but I am sort of the family IT guy ... I am SO GLAD Malwarebytes is back to what I expect from them versus the 3.x versions of the products where the detection rate took a nose dive
In your opinion, is it good to have two antiviruses on my computer? Currently using Kaspersky Total Security and i'm thinking if i can improve security by installing a second antivirus.
Whenever i noticed some errors in my laptop like my audio not wlrking or my mouse's left click started working as a right click i go scan in malwarebytes and i can say that malwarebytes have helped me with various malwares on my laptop👍👍
Process explorer and autorun is software that is not in built into windows 10 right ? Because I am trying to find it on my pc but the only thing I have is task manager.
Malwarebytes is pretty good, and it’s simple. I’ve had trouble with other anti viruses taking up tons of cpu, and the most annoying is that the exclusions feature doesn’t seem to stop it from deleting the file
Hello, I use the Malwarebytes v.4.5.9, but I know that a firewall is important too, now I want to know if i need a firewall too or only I need Malwarebytes and if Malwarebytes is the only security tool that I need to use or if I need an extra firewall to filter all network packets, in that case if I need a Firewall, then, which firewall do you recommend me to interact toghether with Malwarebytes to add an extra security layer?
I think those malware are scanned before and are already distributed amongst other AV so all This malwarebyte have to do it to check it checksum (hash) and compare it to a list of scanned malware and decided if it’s malicious or not. My point is it is not doing a real time monitoring to tell if it’s malicious or not.
