About Malwarebytes

Malwarebytes is a security app that finds and removes malware, adware, spyware, ransomware and potentially unwanted programs. It is widely used as a second-opinion scanner alongside Microsoft Defender.

The free version scans and cleans an infected computer on demand. Real-time protection, web protection and other features require Malwarebytes Premium; new installs may offer a Premium trial that reverts to the free scanner afterwards.

Best for: Cleaning up a computer you suspect is infected with adware or malware.

The free version is an on-demand scanner. Real-time protection requires a paid Premium subscription.

Safety

Where these links come from

Versions and download addresses are read automatically from winget (Windows) and Homebrew (macOS), the public package catalogues used by millions of developers. We only show a link when it points to the developer’s own official domain, and we never host, repackage or bundle the files — your browser downloads them directly from the developer.

Check the file after downloading (optional)

Compare the SHA-256 checksum shown above with the one of the file you downloaded. If they match, the file is exactly the one published by the developer.

  • Windows: open PowerShell in your Downloads folder and run Get-FileHash .\filename
  • Mac: open Terminal and run shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/filename
