Top performer Trend Micro spotted our test app's dodgy-looking actions, and close their processes before they could download anything. That's a good end-result, but others are more cautious. It blocked them all on launch, though, keeping us safe. Malwarebytes ignored the behavior and, initially, the files.

The first involved test apps which exploited common Windows tools to create processes, download malicious files and generally behave in a suspect way. To try to verify this, maybe get some more detail, we put Malwarebytes through a few tests of our own. It was compromised by almost a quarter of all attacks. The top six products (Kaspersky, McAfee, Comodo, Norton, Avast, AVG) blocked 100% of threats Microsoft Defender blocked 99% the next five blocked 92-98% and Malwarebytes blocked only 76%. There's a lot of detail to the report, but we'd sum it up like this. SE Labs' October-December 2020 report, if anything was worse, placing Malwarebytes Premium in last place out of 13. To put that in perspective, even Microsoft Defender scored significantly better, with three maximum six scores for Protection in its last five tests. But that's the only six point rating it achieved over the year, and zero-day detection rates were under 95% in April 2020. Its most recent October 2020 saw the company at its best, with a 100% score in three out of four tests (99.4% in the other) earning it a maximum six points for Protection. Malwarebytes has never been the best performer in conventional lab tests, and its AV-Test results over the past year are, well, inconsistent. (Image credit: AV Comparatives) Protection (Should you apply 'Dynamic Anti-HeapSpraying Enforcement' to all your browsers, for instance? Quickly, now.) Other options are easier to understand, though ('Disable loading of VBScript libraries'), and just having this level of control could be useful if the exploit protection breaks a particular application, and you're looking for a fix. These options are so technical that even the most expert of users might struggle to know what to do with them. The Settings dialog is mostly about toggling features on and off (updates, notifications, web filtering, malware protection and so on), but you do get some fine-tuned control over Malwarebytes' exploit protection, where the packages uses multiple techniques to protect against zero-day attacks for common applications and application types. Results were only average in our tests, but even that's enough to be useful, and it's a worthwhile addition to the package. This works at the network level, with no need for browser extensions, ensuring it protects all your apps.

Malwarebytes also provides simple URL filtering, detecting and blocking any attempts to access malicious links. (Image credit: Malwarebytes) URL Filtering Malwarebytes began well, with its core service beating off all our attempts to close it down, remove or disable it. We test for this by launching various attacks of our own - deleting files, closing processes, disabling services, more - and checking to see if our performance remains intact. Malware may try to disable antivirus before attempting to infect a system, so a good security app needs to be able to protect itself. That's significantly more than Kaspersky (0.6%) and Bitdefender (1%), but much the same as Sophos Home (3.8%) and Trend Micro (4%), and you're unlikely to notice any difference in real-world use.

We run top benchmark PCMark Professional before and after installation to check for any performance impact, and Malwarebytes reduced our score by 3.8%.

We were offered the chance to have a 14-day trial of Malwarebytes Premium, and although this requires handing over an email address, there were no other hassles of any kind (we didn't even have to confirm our email.)Ĭhecking the Malwarebytes installation folders showed a relatively lightweight package with around 400MB of files, and just a couple of significant background processes. Malwarebytes installs quickly and easily.
