It wasn’t more than a few weeks ago that my keyboard started acting up and yes I do have a current malware program in my "plague fighting arsenal" however it seemed to have missed this little glitch in a recent scan. This little glitch however caused me to appear no better of a speller than a grade two student and it was absorbing a considerable amount of my time editing and re-editing, as well as coping with the mounting aggravation. Not a good thing when the majority of your daily work is comprised of writing.
Though I was given many helpful suggestions they seemed to fall short of successfully eliminating the glitch and even worse, a few suggested programs froze my computer screen when the application attempted to download, only compounding the situation. Then I was directed to "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware." Now this program has me so impressed I have touted it to my friends on Facebook, on my blog and in my companies newsletter. I am not the only one that is impressed with this very simple yet powerful application. It is being rated as the number one in spyware removers and boasts of close to 40 million downloads since it’s introduction in March 2010.
This application takes only 5.64 MB to download, offers a reasonably quick yet thorough scan and a comprehensive report post scan with a list of available actions to take. The free version of this product is impressive, what you are missing from the package is the " real time protection" which is disabled, as well as the ability to schedule scans and product updates. Not that these are unavailable to you, but you will have to remember to take care of yourself.
The cost of the product is fantastic though for what you are getting. For a nominal $24.95 your real time protection is unlocked. You can enjoy such features as: Scan Scheduling featuring real-time updating, compatibility with Remote Desktop Control (RDP) for corporate users, as well as a malware protection module that blocks malicious processes before they even start. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is clearly worth the investment and 40 million users seem to agree giving the product a 4 and a half star rating.
