Last year, Malwarebytes bought Adwcleaner, which – as its name suggests – targets and removes annoying programs that hijack your browser by changing your homepage, resetting your default search engine, or adding unwanted toolbars. We recommend running it at least once a week to check or any nasties that you haven't noticed, or if you notice that your web browser has suddenly started acting strangely (likely a result of adware). This has to be activated manually, but is still a top-notch security tool. After two weeks, it reverts to the basic free version. The first time you install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, you’re given a 14-day trial of the premium edition, which includes preventative tools like real-time scanning and specific protection from ransomware. It’s updated daily, so you can trust it to identify and remove new threats the minute they appear. Unfortunately, real-time scanning is not available, so it might be better for you not to use it to replace a permanent antivirus solution.If you suspect a malware infection, Malwarebytes should be your first port of call. It offers fast scanning speed and automatic updating of the virus database, so it can handle the newest threats at all times. Malware Hunter aims to provide an easy to use yet powerful tool as far as computer security is concerned.
