        <description><![CDATA[I've run multiple MWB scans on my Win 7 64-bit machine without issue. It seems to work just fine. I use MWB and A-Squared to kill malware that SEP doesn't take out. I REALLY wish they had a centralized console like many AV products have. I'd LOVE to have remote scheduled scanning capabilities. The worst part about running malware scanners like this is having to wait around for the scans to complete. (We have high traffic multiple user PCs generally)]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[We have Sophos at work, and I loathe it!The updates are generally behind AVG, which is what I use at home, or simply don't work and indeed some machines failed to update themselves for 9 months without anyone noticing.It failed to detect and then quarantine a small number of machines that got conficker.It is a resource hog; so much so that it is now centrally configured not to scan emails because so many people complained that they couldn't get any work done.I was one of the complainers; my machine would be literally unusable for 25 minutes at a time whenever I triggered a send/receive.It doesn't matter how effective your AV is at detecting viruses; if it gets in the way of peoples' work then they will find a way to get around it.P.S. Malwarebyte's is part of my standard toolkit for some time. Never needed it at home as my own network has yet to get infected, but suggest it to work colleagues a few times.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Burning houses and killing people is a bit exagerated, but there is a legitimate point to your reply...if it were perfectly legal to rob banks, it would certainly be a lot harder to prevent bank robbery.  The fact that all this spyware is perfectly legal (de facto, if not de jure) is a major difficulty.The idea that we are simply having trouble locating the perpetrators seems to me to be silly.The real problem is that law enforcement seems to be concentrating on &quot;rights&quot; of content providers and ignoring rights of computer owners.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I, too, have found great success using Malwarebytes to save clients from themselves.  I couldn't help noting some of the complaints about various AV products, all of which I have tested or used at one time or another. My life has improved tremendously since I switched my clients to Sophos.  It is a business-centric solution but the AV/firewall product can be deployed to consumers.  The only drawback is that there is a three license minimum.  The initial cost is somewhat higher than that of competing products but it is definitely more effective than anything I have used in quite some time.]]></description>

Not too long ago, my brother, a network specialist who hates to deal with his own laptop issues  got nailed with a drive-by that invited a bunch its buddies in for a party on his machine...What a wreck. I went to his house and brought a copy of MBAM with me. In 45 minutes that laptop was back to it's stable self. (over 20 different adware, spyware, virus infections)MBAM is my new AmEx Card!

        <description><![CDATA[Today, I was with a customer who had Antivirus 360 malware issues. I used Spybot and AVG free. Then had to manually delete stuff from the hard drive and registry etc.Managed to get rid of it - but still got a stupid popup in google. Cleared cache etc - but still damn popup would not go away.Started searching on the internet and found this program and used it - voila ! Popup gone from google webpages (it also found a coupld of other sneaky things that the rest had missed).Wonderful program ! Made me happy and, more importantly, I had a happy customer !Just checked my email now and found this article on Malwarebytes so had to post. Co-incidence or what !On Friday 13th also.......Very recommended product ! Love it !!!!!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I interviewed several experts and they had one thought in common. http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/networking/?p=797It's that AV and malware scanners are essentially two different applications. AV is trying to prevent malware from being installed, where as an application like MBAM is after the fact and ferreting out malware. The fact that AV is attempting to be preemptive makes it a great deal more difficult as the dropper portion of the malware can have a multitude of signatures while the actual malware is more difficult to camouflage.]]></description>
