Malwarebytes for Windows

What is Malwarebytes for Windows?

Malwarebytes is smarter, faster, and lighter than ever before. Go beyond antivirus and stop worrying about online threats.

What Malwarebytes does for you

Cleans your PC in just a few minutes

Free scanner is what puts us on the map. It not only encounters threats like malware and viruses, but also finds potentially unwanted programs that can slow you down.

Protects your PC, files and privacy 24/7

Real-Time Protection uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to keep you protected from online threats, even emerging threats that no one has ever seen before.

Protects against online scammers

Web Protection blocks online scams, infected websites, and malicious links. It also blocks phishing scams, which use fake websites to trick you into revealing private information, such as your bank details.

Prevents your files from being retained for ransom

Ransomware Protection uses proprietary technology to create a powerful malware defense that blocks your PC and takes your files and photos hostage.

Respect your space

Scans now use 50% less CPU resources than before, and with Play Mode, you can turn off notifications and updates while playing or watching movies.

Simplifies your security

Totally new user interface makes it easier than ever to customize your protection. Schedule checks, adjust protection layers, and choose from three scan modes.

Malwarebytes Katana Engine

The new detection engine finds more threats in less time, with less performance impact than ever before. It also tells you about the threats you encounter, such as type and behavior, so you can make smarter security decisions. For example, instead of seeing a generic threat name like "Malware123," you'll see a name like "Spyware.PasswordStealer," along with a link to information about that particular threat.
