Malwarebytes catches and crushes tons of potential concerns – even if you already have an antivirus, anti-malware or other cyber security software installed. To prove it, this real-time map shows just how often Malwarebytes finds potential concerns on devices that have other cyber security solutions installed.
See those yellow dots? Here’s what those mean:
A device has a third-party antivirus installed;
Malwarebytes has run a remediation scan and;
We detected a potential concern.
The leader board on the left is running tally of how many potential concerns may have gotten past the respective antivirus software tool. So, the higher the number, the more potential concerns could be sneaking through.
Protect against these threats today.
Don’t assume you’re well protected, check out our next-gen antivirus that protects your finances, data, and privacy from hackers.
Does Malwarebytes work if we have another antivirus installed?
Yes, Malwarebytes plays well with others. It is compatible with most other antivirus products (this is regularly tested), so that you can seek the second opinion you need without having to juggle antivirus uninstall processes (as we find malware on 40% of devices that already have antivirus installed, you probably should try us, even if you think that you’re already protected). That’s the power of our innovative technology. We detect cyberthreats that other programs miss, for a fresh start with a clean computer- and the enhanced performance that goes with it.
Is Malwarebytes an antivirus?
Malwarebytes security software has multiple layers of malware-crushing tech, including virus protection. Traditional antivirus alone is no longer sufficient against today’s sophisticated malware threats. Malwarebytes Premium prevents threats in real-time, crushes ransomware, defends against harmful sites, and cleans and removes malware. Go beyond antivirus and stop worrying about online threats.
Is free antivirus good enough?
Free antivirus can be a good starting point to protect your devices. Malwarebytes offers free versions to scan and clean viruses and malware from your devices. Paid antivirus software like Malwarebytes Premium gives you on-going protection against viruses and malware, rather than just scanning and cleaning when you think your device might be infected.
Does Malwarebytes affect performance?
Malwarebytes is light on your resources; it has a minimal impact on performance. Instant download- so quick you barely notice it. You can control when you run your unlimited scans, they even use 50% less CPU resources than before.
What is the difference between Malwarebytes Free and Malwarebytes Premium?
Malwarebytes Antivirus is available as a free and as a premium version:
Malwarebytes free version will clean malware from your Windows PC or Mac computer.
Malwarebytes Premium gives you real-time and proactive protection against malware, ransomware, and other online threats while the Free version cleans up after a malware infection.
Can I upgrade from Malwarebytes Free to Malwarebytes Premium?
Yes, you can try the free version of Malwarebytes first and then upgrade to Malwarebytes Premium to get real-time protection against malware and keep threats off your system.

Okay, time for the legal mumbo jumbo:
We can only identify antivirus programs registered in the Windows Security Center—and this map only reflects potential concerns our tool found on devices running the Windows operating system. We cannot see how you configured the other antivirus, when/whether it has been run, or distinguish when its detection files were last updated. The data is presented in accordance with the methodology explained above and there is no correlation or interpretation applied to such data. Given some browser limitations that may impact the performance of your computer, we limit the number of dots on the screen to 700 at any one time. If you’ve left the page running for some time, and go back to look for a specific dot, it may be gone. The counter on the right will continue to count the total number of detections for your browser session.
