Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

I do not dislike this. I am disturbed that it no longer performs as it did in the first few weeks of its use. Other programs have gotten smarter in hiding activities. This may improve overall. Hopefully.

But for some unknown reason it stops running. And I don't know until I don't see the icon on the top of my phone not being shown. But Malwarebytes is the best security you can find and use. I actually have it also on my computer. It's the free version and only scans when I use it because it's not running. But when I scan with it it'll find stuff other Antivirus can't. And believe me I've used about every free version you can find that stay active. I give Malwarebytes the number one top Antivirus ...

I have the paid version on my pc, works well, and so *did* this phone version of MWB. However this current updated Android version seems to stay stuck on a scan, notification at top stays and scans seem to loop sometimes. Happens on both Pixels (one is XL). It's a 5 star rated app, though I used 3 stars to get the attention of devs.

After repeatedly updating, restarting, and uninstall/reinstall, this app uses way too much ram and all it does is stay on the blue-background start-up screen. This newest update truly does not function in any way. I cant get in to settings or to run a scan. Isn't that the point? To be able to scan the device?

Use WAAYYYY too much RAM! Good app, no doubt. I am running Malwarebytes on my PC and I like it. I wanted to give it a try on mobile. Unfortunately, while the UI is really nice and the services are top notch, the background process use A LOT of RAM on my phone. 134mbs when services are running. Forget about the battery saving tips. Too bad, I won't be keep it for this reason.

Thank you so much... whenever i unlock my screen some ad pop up and directly going to playstore cant even stop it or return .i uninstalled all apps from ma phone but still it appeared as before... Then after using this #app i understood what was the reason..ive downloaded apk file earlier from a website.the left over rar file named hax something .. removed it by using malware bytes .now ma phone works fine .no pop up ad ..no tension.

Between 3:10am and 7:00am this morning, your app has performed 4 "on-demand" scans that were unwanted and unnecessary. I have turned off the "realtime protection", turned off scanning when the database is updated, turned off scanning when new apps are added, and turned off scanning when my device boots. My scheduled scans are set to happen weekly on Saturdays at noon. I also have not downloaded anything in the last 24-hours. I use your product on my computers but I will be removing it from my phone.

I've had the paid version of this on my laptop for a while. It's brilliant, by far the best investment I've ever made in security software. The phone app started off badly. It just kept telling me that I have issues then denied access to real time security. However it is now working well. I'm not sure what changed but I am now very happy with it. I trust malwarebytes more than my AV.

I give 5 because it really detects the malware. No joke. I have ads popping issues and somewhat I installed this apps and I cant find it in my system cause its hidden and its causing alot of ads popping so i tried to use diff kinds of antivirus and then i bumped into this. And the rest is history.

I'm so grateful for this app. It's the only one that found and removed full page pop up ads that kept appearing out of nowhere, even when I had no apps running and uninstalled all recent apps. Thanks developers, much appreciated! :)

Never used a security app, but this was top notch. I'm sure it has to be the top performing app in this category. I had a problem with something spamming ads/force downloading unwanted games to my phone. This app found the problem in 3 minutes and 46 seconds. Very nicely done.

Very useful. Had an adware that keep pop up when i unlock my phone to go to the home screen. I could not find the file and was about to reset my phone to factory settings. This app was my last resort and it worked, found the problem and was able to uninstall the file that was causing it. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS APP. :)

Sadly - and very much unlike the non-mobile version which is great - this is not. Frequent crashes even as background service makes it unreliable and the full app mostly results in crashes at startup. Reliability for a security app is of the highest importance. This one needs work!

I said some bad things about this app, and I am sorry because I had a problem with the browser opening and going to ads when I unlocked the phone. I have tried all the big names and none worked. TBT this did not first time but I was going round the bend and tried it again. It beat everything else as I tried those repeatedly as well. Now I can open the phone without bogus ads. It was a video player from the app store, BTW . SAYS ANDROID 6 SUPPORT BUT WORKS WELL FOR NOUGAT ON NEXUS 6 :)

Reflecting a few of the other reviews here, my Malwarebytes has been performing several unauthorized, unwanted scans every day for a while now. I have all automated scans disabled except for my scheduled scan, which is supposed to happen every Sunday at 4am. I didn't have this problem until recently, so it must've come with an app update. If it helps you resolve this issue, my device is a Galaxy S7 running the most recent compatible version of Android. I am not rooted.

Even when auto updates are turned off completely, mobile/wifi, makes no difference.... this bloody thing still continues to eat into my data. Have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. It does what it wants, when it wants...frustrating!

With all that can attack ones Phones, PC, Tablets n gadgets it is a great peace of mind that Malwarebites is there to handle the uncertainty out there. For a while my Zen2 Deluxe was unprotected due to a code issue with communication with Malwarebites they found the issue to fix to install their App for that peace of mind again. 6 Stars from my Zen2 Deluxe n on my Asus Laptop

I tried this program out on my phone. After using it, my phone seems to not get any problems when browsing. However, it is uncomparable to the desktop. The desktop version is the best and prevents anything annoying, dangerous, or possibly dangerous from being loaded. I don't even need a pop up blocker on my computer any more because of it.

The scan took 30mins Thirty! Do know what that does to a phone? The battery? It-heats up. Why can't you at least fix that down time? I purposely don't carry but only a couple of added apps on my phone-so in all fairness, I'm not sure how i feel about this app thus far.

Tried to update umpteen times - device gets frozen every time! I uninstalled it now, and reinstalled it. App taking too long, over 3 mins to open. Then to update because App is outdated since Oct is already taking too long - over 3 mins as well. Cannot even see how far the update is, have no clue regarding its progress! Love Malwarebytes on comp and other device, but this one....... :-(

UNABLE TO UPDATE DEFINITIONS SINCE LAST UPDATE OR TWO, APP FORCE CLOSES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING PRESSING THE UPDATE BUTTON. PLEASE FIX, AND I'LL RATE AGAIN AT 5 STARS, ORMOND I WILL BE FORCED TO REMOVE APP. App the seems to work and gives me the assurance of being malware/virus free. Love it at boot up and that it seems to keep my phone and tablet safe. Scan runs a bit slow, on average 20 minutes for a 16GB tablet, would love it to be a little faster, but, not at the cost of heuristic ability and security.

WARNING This app is using an unusually large amount of battery power or causing your device to run slowly. To improve your device's performance and save battery power, force this app to stop running or uninstall it. Years ago I started using this because it was light on resources, then someone trying to remain relevant had a bright idea.

Used malware bytes on my PC for about 4 years and highly rate it. This app works with no bugs, no pop ups telling you your battery is flat, love it... Nice and simple works in the background NOT full of bloody adverts!!!.

I love Malwarebytes. Great way to stay safe on most of your devices. This version of the app on Android 7.1.1 does have an issue where it won't close from my notifications after an auto scan and will just repeatedly scan my phone if I click it. I have to restart to get it to close. Other than that, A+.

I experience alot of pop up ads every two or three minutes and when I downloaded this app I scan with this app and tested it by watching 2 videos for 10 minutes. It is a pleasure to say "that no ads ever pop out." Thank thank you alot. :)

I have been having a problem with an app called VPlayer and MovieHD and they keep spamming my devices with annoying popups and add even after the apps are closed and deleted from my device. If it is possible to put a blocker in place that would be absolutely amazing. Thanks AMWB team.

I've had Malwarebytes for a year and a day ago it stopped... Tried to uninstall and reinstall but that didn't resolve things, so what's the deal? I love this app but how can I get it to function again. I am running Android 6 so ... ? :( Help!

It's amazing. It detected some stuff and it actually felt as if I was finally free from the pop up ads. Its going very well so far but I'm still a bit on edge if it Will come up again. I Will update if so. But 10/10 amazing so far

I had this app for months and never had an issue. Today it has crashed more times than I can count. I uninstalled and then downloaded it again, same issue. Long story short: it may work for you, may not. If you need reliability you may want to loon elsewhere.

This app took away all of those annoying pop-ups and ads such as androidnative. It also shows all of the phone app permissions for security. If you want to get rid of ads or pop-ups delete android native in my opinion. It should be in Privacy audit.

My son downloaded an app that directed him out of Google play to downloaded a file, HD furniture mod for Minecraft, by AllenDung. I noticed ads popping up, I looked and erased any traces of the file by myself but ads still kept popping up, I already have Malwarebytes downloaded on my phone, this is by far the best, I ran a full scan and they showed me the file by AllenDung, with the Trojan virus. I really do LOVE these guys. These guys are awesome!!!!!!

Very clean and simple to use. I use it as a backup to another Malware app I have on both my smartphones and laptop. It has always performed very well for me and I love the articles that Nate writes. They are very informative and to the point on mobile security threats.

This seems to work but there are permissions they are NOT needed. The factory apps spy, no doubt and I have 22 currently recording my calls. The last thing I need is a free app that I can call 23.

Disappointing. Such a good app on Windows but this really doesn't do the job on Android. Scheduled scans start but never complete (no feedback to tell you), rendering it almost useless.

I've had Mbam on my PC for years. When I went mobile, I got the app. Some say it has found malware but can't remove it. It hasn't found any bad stuff on my devices: Galaxy Note 4, Note 10, Note Pro 12.2. Today (2/2/17) it keeps crashing. I may uninstall if that continues.

This app was awesome until it started preventing me from receiving texts from my girlfriend. Then it sucked. Hard. Replaced my phone and still had the same problem. Removed this app and the problem quickly disappeared. This is definitely unacceptable performance from an AV and I likely won't be using this app on my phone ever again. EDIT: The link provided does NOT work.

This is a must nowadays, only problem is when launching the app it just sits there with the logo on a blue screen, I need to exit and re open several times. It seems to be when I click the app but if I launch from playstore it starts everytime.

I've had this installed on my laptop and tablet for the past while an was very satisfied with this product how ever....Today on all devices I continue to get a notification on all devices repeatedly that the app has suddenly stopped...I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app with no change...And am now unable to even open the app...What has changed since yesterday? I really love this app. It helps me feel more secure while browsing...

No set-up instructions for this app. It was difficult to open and perform a scan. Tech Support is not 24/7, so no weekend help. Took several hours of trial and error to work. I LOVE it on my laptop, because of the ease of set-up. Not for the tablet.
