Malwarebytes Premium
Malwarebytes Premium Security provides ongoing protection against malware, ransomware, phishing, malicious sites, scams, and other online threats. It runs automatically to help prevent attacks, and Web Protection blocks phishing sites and malicious URLs before they load. Listed protections also include detection of potentially unwanted programs, along with Windows exploit and brute-force protection. Scam Guard identifies suspicious content and recommends next steps, while Trusted Advisor offers personalized security advice. The product page lists Privacy VPN for desktop and mobile, plus webcam and Remote Desktop monitoring for Windows. Malwarebytes Browser Guard is included; it blocks ads, prevents third-party cookie tracking, and flags suspicious sites, with support for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. The product is listed for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, with a device limit of 20. A free plan is listed, but Malwarebytes Free is described as a cleanup tool for attacks that have already damaged a device. Feature availability varies by operating system; the help-center comparison lists ransomware and exploit protection as paid on Windows and unavailable on Mac.
