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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
