I used Malwarebytes by paying for Malwarebytes Premium with a five-device licence, testing it on Windows and Android devices. You will be prompted for a 30-day pay-to-play trial, or you can sign in to your account for access to the full service.

For Windows, there’s an option to learn more as the software installs, but Malwarebytes should be ready to go in about a minute. While you pick the number of devices you want to be included, Malwarebytes Premium can be downloaded on up to 100 devices.ĭuring installation, optionally include the Malwarebytes Browser Guard on compatible platforms for browser ad, scam, tracker, and malware blocking (it works with Chrome, Edge, and Firefox). Whichever platform you use, there’s a handy ‘Activate’ button. Note that iOS users will have to contact Malwarebytes support to use a Premium key (according to Malwarebytes, that’s an Apple restriction). That said, prices aren’t advertised in Australian dollars until you get to the checkout, which isn’t the norm with the best antivirus services.Īfter you’ve paid, Malwarebytes takes you to a guided installation screen for Windows, Mac, Android, and Malwarebytes Browser Guard. You can save 25% by signing up for a second year with your plan.

Unless you want a VPN-and we’d advise you look at our best VPNs list first-you should stick with Malwarebytes Premium and choose between protecting one or up to 10 devices. Mercifully, the Malwarebytes options are limited and straightforward.
