Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware - Reception

Reception

  • PC World's Preston Gralla wrote that "Using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is simplicity itself".
  • CNET in 2008 cited Malwarebytes as being useful against the MS Antivirus malware, and also awarded it an April 2009 Editor's Choice, along with 25 other computer applications.
  • Bleeping Computer in 2008 listed Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware as a method of removing fake security applications such as MS Antivirus.
  • Mark Gibbs of Network World gave Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 4 stars out of 5 in January 2009 and wrote that "It does the job and only the lack of a detailed explanation of what it has found stops it from getting 5 out of 5".
  • PC Magazine gave Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 3.5 stars out of 5 in May 2010, saying that although it was good at removing malware and scareware, it fell short on removing keyloggers and rootkits.
  • The usefulness of Malwarebytes for enterprise use has been questioned, on the basis that it is particularly good at removing, rather than detecting malware, but adds expense and complexity, and consumes computer resources and reduces performance. For the enterprise, malware removal is usually unimportant, as an infected machine is typically re-imaged from a standard desktop image, discarding the infected system.
  • Botcrawl.com in 2012 cited Malwarebytes as being useful for removing reveton ransomware.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:

    “He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    “To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
