MalwareBytes is a popular and well respected tool for cleaning PCs from malware, spyware, adware, and other types of malicious software. The website is malwarebytes.org, where a trial version of the software is available for free download.

The download is quick, the installer is only about 8MB, and the install process for Malware Bytes Anti-Malware is easy and painless.

Scanning for Malware with Malware Bytes

On booting, MalwareBytes will automatically check for updates to its malware signature definitions list. Once the you’ve got an up to date database of spyware and adware, you can begin the scan. Malwarebytes has three options for scanning -

Perform quick scan
Perform full scan
Perform flash scan
The flash scan looks only at memory and autorun objects for malware – however the option is only available for those who did buy Malware bytes – if you went for the free download, you can’t use this feature.

The full scan/quick scan should be obvious – like Comodo Antivirus Scan, you can choose to only look in critical areas for malware, or look for spyware and viruses on your entire PC harddrive. Choose your option and start scanning – MalwareBytes will handle the rest and start to scan your computer for spyware and harmful software.


Malware Bytes Results
After the scan has completed, you’ll see a screen like this – letting you know how many files were scanned for Malware, and how many infections were found.

In this case, the quick scan took about 8 minutes, but the test computer here was quite slow – it may run faster on a newer PC.

We can see that Malware Bytes has identified 5 files that may be contain malicious software.

I’ve chosen to remove all of these problems. The removal process is easy – just click to delete the infected files, and Malware Bytes does the rest.
