    Duration of ownership: 1 Years

    Strengths: I prefer the, if its free, its for me version. I have found it to be a very reliable program in saving several infected systems I have worked on. It scans in less then 20 minutes usually and generally will find the threat.

    Weaknesses: No anti-spyware program should be alone, find a partner. SpyBot is another free, reliable program.

    Overall Evaluation: My favorite Malware Removal tool. Quick, Easy, and Effective.

    Strengths: Able to detect some of the latest rogue products before other programs have added the detection. Scanning is faster than most other programs. As a added removal tool, it is a decent program. As a full Anti-Malware product, the detection is very poor.

    Weaknesses: Not a FULL Anti-Malware product as advertised, doesn't detect most viruses in the wild, spyware detection is also limited. Lacks delete malware on reboot and right click scan features.

    Overall Evaluation: The developer of this program is still a young school boy and they only have a few members of their team, they are not a company. This young guy doesn't know how to put his product in the right category which should be malware removal tool, not a full Anti-Malware product. If the product was listed in the correct category then I would give it a very good ratings, but it only gets a fair ratings since it doesn't do what it is advertised to do.

    Strengths: ease of use

    Weaknesses: I ran AVG found nothing. Tried anti-malware and it found two trojans and a trojan downloader.Closed anti-malware,ran AVG again and found the same trojans and downloader. Used AVG to clear the trojans and a reg cleaner to dump the downloader then dumped the anti-malware as assumed it to be the source of the trojans.

    Overall Evaluation: Will not try again

    Strengths: Extremely aggressive "detection" - finds lots of "malware" that mainstream products (Symantec, McAfee) do not.

    Weaknesses: Many, many false positives, or detections that aren't legitimately malicious. Detects .REG files, freshly-compiled in-house programs, and other clean files as threats. Doesn't clean Vundo, fake AV ("Antivirus XP 2008"), etc. any better than other products.

    Overall Evaluation: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is the boy who called wolf. If you get excited every time your AV product catches a so-called "threat," this is your kind of product. If you actually have to get some work done and don't have time to spend half your day chasing false positives, steer clear.

    Strengths: Very easy to use. Scans quickly. Clean UI. Got rid of a DNS trojan that a-squared, AVG, and House Call could not get rid of.

    Weaknesses: None.

    Overall Evaluation: Great. Highly recommend it. Make sure you download an up-to-date version. Visit Malwarebytes.com. They just released a version to help get rid of VUNDO.

    Strengths: Easy to use and inexpensive. Works quickly and efficiently. Updated frequently.

    Weaknesses: None that I have encountered.

    Overall Evaluation: The free version of the program I downloaded quickly cleared up a problem I had with some malware that even my McAfee Antivirus could not handle. As a result I purchased it and run it about every day to help keep my system clean and stable. I highly recommend it.

    Strengths: Updated on almost a daily basis..

    Weaknesses: Advertisement... I've never heard of it until i got infected and was referred to this software from a support site.

    Overall Evaluation: It is very thorough, although nothing is 100%. I did encounter some infections that it was not able to delete and another that made the Malwarebytes quit working. However; after posting in their forums, within 24 hours, I had a solution to the infections.. 2 hours later, my pc was clean and running smooth again.. I trust this software more than Mcaffe, and Nortons.. Keep up the good job Malwarebytes Corporation!!!

    Strengths: It's easy to run and fairly effective. I had a VUNDO infection 1 week ago. Other antivirus programs reported no infected files. Malwarebytes found and fixed 36 files.

    Weaknesses: It didn't completely eliminate VUNDO (2 Registry keys remain infected, which Malwarebytes reports eliminating, but they keep reappearing).

    Overall Evaluation: It was useful--removed a block on my automatic Windows Update, but didn't completely remove VUNDO.
