The Malwarebytes app scans your device and gets rid of spyware, adware and malware. This app protects user personal data and prevents applications from accessing certain types of information that is stored on a user's device. Malwarebytes conducts privacy scans and uses the settings it detects to recommend changes that will improve the security of the device's data. After the free trial period, users can upgrade to the paid premium version that offers anti-virus protection. The free version of the app includes a scanner that can detect and remove malware after the fact, but does not offer real-time virus protection.
