Reviews for Malwarebytes Mobile Security

the app interface seems light and not flooded with any buttons, data, or functions that would make it seem like a super app - it doesn't need to. Malwarebytes is Malwarebytes. I only have one concern. During the scan, there was an unknown file that it could not move or identify but was not detected as a threat. I'm keeping both of my eyes out despite the no detection results. Prior to the installation, this phone was suspected to have intelligent malware hiding somewhere in the system.

Why does the app stop working when I'm editing photos ❓It just disappeared a second ago and I wasn't doing anything on my phone, had to manually open it so it would be on the notification bar saying it's working. I've NEVER had the app work so poorly and I've had it on my laptop for years, recently added to my Android phone. I hope I'm not paying for this service in vain‼️ I really depend on the app to keep my stuff safe‼️What should I do ❓

Malwarebytes was able to detect and fix some PC issues caused by browser hijacks even though the antivirus software from Microsoft was ignoring them. The process was pretty easy and painless. Best of all I got to do it for free. The software is free to try and fully functional for a couple of weeks. Once I saw how well it improved and protected the affected computer I decided to get the family subscription. Just the security evaluation it does is worth the price. I'm a happy customer!

I love Malwarebytes for malware, and virus protection. For that reason alone, it's worth it. However, I am very frustrated with the VPN. It wouldn't auto connect (although I had it set for this), it disconnected constantly, and it made my phone extremely slow. I finally disabled the Malwarebytes VPN, and got another one, and all is great, but I wish this one had worked.

App doesn't work. Used it for years just renewed my subscription and suddenly the app crashes always, doesn't open, etc. It doesn't ever function. I reinstalled it too. Makes the phone lag. I have a Samsung s24 in pristine condition. It's inexcusable to charge for a product that doesn't work. I have been subbed to this app for many years no issues. Don't buy. Crashed my phone too more than once. Malwarebytes emphasis on the MALWARE. Garbage app.

Malwarebytes used deceptive advertising to get me to reup my subscription. They got into my browser and showed an advertisement that said I had 4 viruses on my system. When my system was scanned using the 30-day trial, there were no viruses. in addition, they immediately charged me for a yearly subscription. This is extremely deceptive advertising. In my opinion, Malwarebytes is a malicious app. I recommend everyone who is considering it for protection think again.

Downloaded on my computer and it worked perfect - it found and cleaned up my computer. Downloaded on my phone, and it opens up to a frozen screen and crashs a couple seconds later. Unistalled, restarted my phone, redownloaded and had the same result. Phone software is verified up to date. I will update my review as soon as it works properly on my phone, but until then, it won't work at all for me, so I cannot rate it well.

With the latest update the free version, which I've used for years, doesn't seem to be available anymore. I know you've said to others that it can be accessed through the PAYWALL page but I've looked all over the sign in and subscription pages and can't find it. I've looked on your website and can't find any reference to it either. I know you want users to pay of course. if you still do have the free version, please describe in exact detail how to find it. it seems very well hidden.Thank you

Won't let me past "turn on notifications" screen. App is forcing me to turn them on. Why? What's so important that I need them on? I've read that your notifications are mainly trying to sell upgrades and act more like ads than actual notifications. What say you? Edit 1: I can't issue a ticket cause the app won't let me past the mandated notification setup. It wasn't updated per your reply. still forces one to allow notifications before moving forward. why can't y'all get this right?

This review is subject to change, but as of now, I am far from pleased with this app. I paid for a subscription to deal with intrusive pop-up ads, which have made using my phone nearly impossible. Little or no improvement thus far, and I am having difficulty contacting support. It may be necessary to cancel my subscription.

The new update made it worse to where it runs slower it doesn't do nothing but when you scan it takes longer to scan with the same amount of apps. And not only that if there's threats what can it do it don't tell us that it can remove any threats in any way just to let us know that if there is any threats. And want you to update and download other parts in the app for other reasons. Plus you got to pay for the full version. I'm not even sure if this app is even telling me the truth or not. 💳too

Tried to uninstall and reinstall to solve problems getting this to work correctly. Caused even more problems. Think I'll forget about it. Original review: Nuisance sign in process. After signing in they send a secure code to your email. You leave app to check email, and when you come back, you have to start the whole process all over again.

While it did help me remove a couple unwanted files/apps from my phone, it will not find the source for my phone randomly playing music. This has been an ongoing issue for the last month now, & I don't want to get it serviced yet. While it doesn't happen constantly, it DOES wake me up in the middle of the night even with my media volume turned off.. The music is in a different language, & it happens to only play when the screen is turned off. I was hopeful. Just disappointed now. Thanks anyway.

There used to be an actual free Malwarebytes app that even included real-time protection. Now you have to pay for that, which is understandable. But if you want scheduled scans or to even have the virus database automatically stay up-to-date, you have to pay. Pretty much every thing is now behind a pay wall. The only thing that isn't is to manually scan your phone. You'll get annoying notifications, reminders to scan, upgrade or "boost your score" (what loser thought of that?)...uninstalling.

Awful, don't bother with the free trial. Trial will say 30 days free, and they will email you before they charge you and charge you after a week for an entire year. No email. I tried the scans, and it doesn't do anything extra that my other software doesn't already do. In fact, the one I had already is better. A waste of time.

From happy to infuriated with Malwarebytes for Android. I'm using the text message protection, and it has started blocking legitimate text messages from one of my favorite retailers. I can see no way to override it. There is an "allow list" but there doesn't seem to be any way to access it or add a number to it. I've been a Malwarebytes user for decades, but now I'm considering switching to something else. I've tried the "help" section in the app, but even that is totally worthless.

Did a trial and cancelled. Malwarebytes still continues to try to charge my card. EVERYDAY. I had to move all my funds into my savings to avoid being charged. Don't be fooled. I didn't like what they had to offer, and found something better (in my personal opinion). I cancelled my subscription on time, way before and it doesn't even show on my subscription list that is active. Yet they still keep trying to charge me. Different kinds of amounts in hopes it will go. BEWARE. Bank has reported this.

I would have given it 5 stars, but something as simple as automatic updates they will not do. Instead you have to manually click on it, they tell you that your security condition is poor, and to increase your security, download critical updates. They also include a text lecture on why you should do it, so you have to endure this every day or two to keep your app current. Consumers would rather have an automatic update without the hassle or the lecture. fix it.

I'm guessing this will be the only way to get a reply from CS, regarding an issue I've been having with the digital footprint scan. I've sent diagnostic data to Malwarebytes, I've sent a message in detail about the issues and complications I've been experiencing with the app. No reply. I've uninstalled and re-installed the app more than one time, explained in writing and I have not received a single response. I recommended your product to everyone but no more. It was good for awhile!

Once upon a time, a long time ago this app automatically ran scans on the days and times I requested. I had requested a daily scan to run at 12:30 AM, and I literally could set my clock by it. At that time, it also updated its database as needed. Fast forward to today. I can request a daily scan at a given time, but it almost never happens. Most of the time I have to do it manually. I do not request an automatic database update because it does it whenever, costing me a lot of data.
