A question is do I need them and do I need to pay for that ? - I do not think so. Well, I can use it as an scanner (on demand), but that's it. My experience with Malwarebytes is that it finds mainly my illegally activated softwares and modified host file, but they are all false positives in my mind. Well, I still think that it is a good software for some people ...
it finds nothing but false positives man. Useless. they want to play the software police Like I once had an issue with MBAM causing my VPN to not work, so when I submitted my system report log to them, they refused to help me telling me that I am using an edited hosts file to bypass Adobe Server Activation! Its only good to be ran once on an infected machine and it does clean it well, but for most of us with clean systems, it's a major PITA
I did the upgrade to latest version 3.05.1299 (bug fixes), though I never encountered a problem in 3.04.
I have the same story, also haven't had never any problems.But always is a very large group of people who have problems always. They are obviously professional whiners.
There was a bug where ‘Real-Time Protection turned off’ notifications would display incorrectly on initial startup, I encountered it, a simple reboot made the problem go away though.
Indeed, software evolves, looking atthe top notch antispyware, I would list it like this (MBAM is past its top): Adware > Spybot > Ewido > SuperAntispyware > Malwarebytes > Zemana AntiMalware (at the moment).
