At Newegg…the deal is for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro Lifetime on 1 PC and includes free, AVG Internet Security software…until 6/24 at 11:59 p.m.
Not a bad deal considering it’s for $17.99, and usually Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro Lifetime 1 license costs $29.99. One thing to know: It’s for the lifetime of that PC, not your lifetime – which I sincerely hope is much longer than that!
AVG Internet Security costs $54.99. Not sure if the edition with the deal has all those features…
Honestly, I’m confused about the ‘Paid’ variants Malware Anti-Malwarebytes offers. There are the ‘Pro’ and the ‘Premium’.
The ‘Pro’ version isn’t listed on their site, so a comparison of features isn’t there either. Also, there’s no ‘Lifetime’ feature listed, either. The features of the ‘Premium’ are listed, however. Its price is $24.99 for 3 PCs for 1 year.
My thought? You generally get what you pay for. The Pro sounds like more features than the free version, but fewer than the ‘Premium’. There’s just no way to learn just what on their site, and that bothers me a good deal. I’m not saying that there’s anything ‘fishy’, just that there should be more information.
All I could find was this:
"Replacing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium promises superior performance in detecting e-threats in real time mode, as well as removing viruses, rootkits, trojans, and other infections, all wrapped in a small package and highly intuitive interface. Some of its notable features include an anti-rootkit component and Chameleon, a module that keeps the application running even when it's under siege."- Softpedia
They were disappointed (when the review was written).
Caveat emptor.
