Malwarebytes is the free version of Malwarebytes real-time antivirus software that helps you stop browser hijackers and other harmful content while browsing the Internet. It also blocks annoying ads and blocks in-browser cryptojackers (unwanted cryptocurrency miners), and gives other malicious websites the boot.
The extension is easy to use. There aren’t any complicated configurations, and there are minimal notifications that interfere with browsing. It’s the very first and only browser extension that identifies and stops scams that target tech support. They are among the most popular online dangers. It also speeds up the display of web pages and blocks trackers which spy on users and bombard them with unwanted advertisements and helps you to avoid malware downloads by blocking sites known to have it.
It doesn’t have many of the extra features offered by its competitors. These include firewalls and system tuning tools as well as a parental control tool or a password manager. Furthermore, it doesn’t provide long-term plans like Bitdefender or Kaspersky which could save you money over the long term.
