Thanks Malwarebytes

[Perez]

I purchased the product after reading many, many good reviews. It took a while to get it to run because of the Security Tool issue that attacked my new laptop - I didn't even get the chance to purchase protection yet!

But one of your members helped me and it worked! I'm very pleased. I would like to read more on the product I purchased and make sure that I use it to it's full capabilities and would like to know if it is also a virus protector... Again thank you for putting this out there - I believe I made the best choice.

Thank you for the compliments Perez, the staff always appreciate hearing them

I'm glad that Malwarebytes and someone here were able to help you out.

As for your question, no, Malwarebytes is NOT also an antivirus application. It is meant to be used with your antivirus solution. Are you currently using an antivirus?

In case you aren't,

The following are my recommendations for antivirus protection along with links to downloads for them (free trials for those that require a purchase so you can try them before deciding):

• Kaspersky (free 30 day trial) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  
• Avira Antivir (free for home use) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  
• ESET NOD32 (free 30 day trial) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  
• Microsoft Security Essentials (free for home use) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  
• Avast! (free for home use) The official support forum for this product can be found here
  

Note: If you decide to use one of the trial versions of one of the paid antiviruses then you will either need to purchase it or uninstall it completely and install a replacement antivirus before the trial expires so that your PC is not left unprotected.
