Comments (15)I think they took a day or so to reply to my query, too...but I have to remind myself that our internet traffic is sometimes much different from theirs. But...they always answer. In today's cyber world...that's a plus. And...as you discovered...they don't just shoot out a few directions and leave you hanging. They hold your hand if you need them. I was very impressed with their attitude. They have a support site, too, Judy. It should be linked at the Malwarebyte site I posted above. I haven't spent much time there but on one or two occasions I found an answer to a curious interaction between Win 7.1 and Malwarebytes.

Comments (10)I have Malwarebytes on every computer I own and will never be without it (call me Over Cautious). Elmer is right, I shouldn't need Malwarebytes, but I do have it on my computers and do run it about once a week. Malwarebytes has never let me down! I can't say the same for Norton's, had trouble with Norton's not catching a Virus many, many years ago. Norton's has been doing a great job for me the last 10 years or so though! As I stated above, I do run Malwarebytes about once a week (Manually) and it picks up a few Norton's doesn't consider harmful. I trust Malwarebytes! I do use the Free Version. When Downloading the Definitions just be careful not to press Upgrade, always press Update, that is unless you want to purchase Malwarebytes. Again Elmer is right, I believe Cox does offer the Security Suite, w/McAfee, he post about above! If you have any questions in this matter I'd contact Cox to verify it's included with you package and where it can be downloaded from safely! We have Comcast & Frontier in our area. Comcast offers Norton's Security Suite for up to 5 Devices (use to be 7 devices) even on the Low End Internet Service at $19.99 a month. Frontier offers F-Secure for their Internet Service (not sure on details for Frontier). Most ISP's don't want their customers getting Viruses and Malware making their internet experience unbearable. They also know how important it is that everyone is running a Reputable Up-to-Date Anti-Virus Program on their Desktop Computer, Laptop, Tablet and Cellular Devices. This is why they are including these as part of your package!...See MoreMalwarebytes Premium
Comments (23)The programs that I have used in the past were Norton, Avast, and McAfee. IMO they were all horrible. Caused my computer to be extremely slow, as well as other issues. When I found Malwarebytes, I was very happy with it. Used the free for personal use version for several years. Then when I started being hit with ransomware, decided it was time to start paying for a program I knew was good. Have not regretted it. What I ended up doing was disconnecting the power from my computer, home network router, and cable internet router for most of the day. I was away from home so did not need the computer. Upon restarting internet router, then home network router, then computer, my problems ended. Malwarebytes ran a scan (3.1.2 version and all is good. I love Malwarebytes. The problem now is that I keep getting a warning from "Microsoft Technologies" that I have threats that need to be repaired. How in the .... do I get rid of that?...See MoreWebroot antivirus
Comments (14)Those are valid criticisms, debo, but are many years dated. I can only speak for one of the two that I use (and no need to mention which) and can say it's substantially changed and left those problems behind many, many years ago. It has an extremely light touch and you wouldn't know it's there other than the rare occasion when its real-time sentry function presents a popup to say it has blocked a problem in the act, before it could happen. Scans and updates are done only when the machine is inactive and postponed if use starts. There is no activity present or delays apparent at boot-up at all. Webroot looks to be a terrific choice, tied for first with three others and all four are given an Editors Choice award. If you're happy to proceed with Webroot, you really can't do any better. If you want to know which of the two mentioned I use successfully, click on my name to go to the site's user page and send me a message. I try to follow the advice I give, my own personal preference is of no value in the face of professional and objective ratings. Anyone with an interest should refer to those....See More
