Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is a fast, effective and very popular on-demand antivirus tool.
Malwarebytes 3 comes in two flavors: Free and Premium. Premium prevents malware infection in the first place, like a vaccine. Free cleans up an existing malware infection, like a disinfectant.

Malwarebytes have moved to an annual subscription model and for those that missed out on buying a lifetime licence I have found a currency workaround.

I recently got the email to renew my Malwarebytes subscription and decided to see if there was a better deal in a non-AUD currency now that OzBargain has +shown me the light of the Bankwest Platinum Card. 60 different currencies to choose from at the checkout and after some automated searching I have found the best currency to use was the Brazilian Real.

See below for a price comparison between the converted price from the Brazilian Real and the standard AUD price:
All conversions calculated based on the Mastercard Currency Converter with a 0% fee and a 7 May 2017 transaction date.

2 year - BRL 118 (AUD $50.42) vs direct AUD $169.99 - Save 70%

The deal goes on for more PCs but I think you get the idea

Cheers

    This is an awesome application. Malwarebytes +windows defender = no worries.

    • mac2403 on 08/05/2017 - 15:12

      Which do you have set to handle real time scanning? I turned off malware bytes and let defender handle it and I keep getting notifications from malware bytes.

        I have both Bitdefender and Malwarebytes running at the same time. They don't conflict with one another, you can have both set on real time protection.

          They both work really well.

          @911r:

          When you have MBAM 3.0, and another antivirus, you need to disable Windows Defender if you have issues with MBAM modules not starting, or turning itself off

      • Braintrain1000 on 08/05/2017 - 18:46

        I let win defende and malwarebytes work at the same time.

    • Iggemo on 08/05/2017 - 19:53

      had a virus recently malwarebytes could detect, remove, couldnt get rid of. Just had to format. So i'm not so impressed tbh.

      • Braintrain1000 on 09/05/2017 - 00:34

        did you try in safe mode or a rescue disk?

        • Iggemo on 09/05/2017 - 08:56

          not sure what a rescue disk is, i didnt try in safe mode, maybe i'll do that if it comes up again (hopefully it won't). It was some nasty thing that hijacked chrome and firefox, made fake shortcuts to them (replacing your own), each week or so it would respawn. Very annoying one, anyway thanks for the tips

          @Iggemo: Can vouch for hitmanpro. It's a 30 day trial, but if you delete it from ProgramData after your done the license resets.
          It cleaned up the exact same type of virus for me. It changed my host file, browser settings, and DNS on my network adapter.

    Which version did it move away from being a lifetime license?

    • no-honey on 08/05/2017 - 17:23

      Not sure when they stopped selling it but I bought the lifetime key back in 2012 for $37.08 and its still kicking today.. WIN! =D

    • 4agte on 08/05/2017 - 19:10

      I went to retrieve my key and discovered I had bought 2x lifetime serials along the way. No regrets. Hope they repeat the offer in the future for done older relatives

      • hotmumbo on 08/05/2017 - 22:39

        I purchased 3 lifetime licenses in 2012 for $47.00 on some discounted offer. Been using it ever since to protect our PCs - it was money well spent. Pity, Malwarebytes 3 is now subscription based so I don't think the lifetime licenses go across - still works just fine on Malwarebytes 2.x.

        • yellowrhino93 on 09/05/2017 - 03:26

  • JimmyJohnson on 08/05/2017 - 14:43

    My new PC isn't going to be built for another few weeks is this just more of a taking advantage of the favourable currency rather than a deal they have going that will end?

    • daanish on 08/05/2017 - 14:48
      +2

      Yeah, this is just a favourable currency rate. It's been hovering around the 1 BRL = 0.41 - 0.43 AUD mark for the last few months so I'd say a few weeks won't hurt. The next best currencies were the Mexican Peso (approx 35% saving) and Russian Ruble (approx 22% saving) so it's a big jump to the Real. I had go back and manually check the Real to make sure the number was correct!

    • wings bubbin boaz on 09/05/2017 - 02:26

  • juicenburg on 08/05/2017 - 14:45

    Awesome, thanks OP!

    What would you recommend as the best way to purchase if you don't have a good conversion rate card?

    • daanish on 08/05/2017 - 14:52
      +1

      They have Paypal as a checkout option but as usual they're not going to be the best rate. In a totally un-Ozbargain thing to say when you're saving 70% the dollar or so you eat in exchange rate might not be all that much to consider. Otherwise there's also the Ozbargain approved Citibank Plus Everyday Debit Card

      • juicenburg on 08/05/2017 - 15:01

        Yea its not that bad…
        $32.44 compared to $31.19 for 2PC's for 2 years.

        Thanks!!

        • OldBugger on 19/05/2017 - 17:11

          So with 2PCs/2years, did you get two separate licenses emailed? Or is it one license that covers two PCs? Did they have an expiry date on when to activate them by?

    I run the free version of Bitdefender and occasionally do a scan using the free version of Malwarebytes.

    Works well for me.

    • brokeunistudent on 08/05/2017 - 16:01

      Does the free Bitdefender have a performance impact? Or the same as Windows Defender?

      • [Deactivated] on 08/05/2017 - 16:09

        It is very lightweight like Defender, but better at detection.

      • GregMonarch on 08/05/2017 - 16:52

        Performance isn't the main concern. The main difference between Bitdefender and Windows Defender, is Bitdefender isn't consistently ranked at the bottom of every independent antivirus software review.

    • SickDmith on 08/05/2017 - 16:02

      I do the same.
      What's wrong with manual periodic check?

      • gizmomelb on 09/05/2017 - 09:51

        Being infected in between the times you do you periodic check. Real time checking obviously proactively catches the malware / virus at the point it tries to infect your system so you don't need to clean up / cancel the credit card and change all your passwords.

  • rastascan on 08/05/2017 - 16:01

    Anytime I install the full version of Malwarebytes, it severely affects the performance of the PC.

    • Munki on 08/05/2017 - 17:15

      Have noticed a bit of lag with my laptop too. My subscription ends this month, and I don't think I'll be keeping it.

    • 4agte on 08/05/2017 - 19:14

      I have only ever had this issue on failing CPUs or those suffering temperature issues. I also imagine low end older CPUs may begin to struggle nowdays

    • gizmomelb on 09/05/2017 - 09:54

      Strange… never noticed any performance impact with malware bytes across 4 different PCs (lifetime licence) which is why I choose malware bytes as my realtime anti-virus / malware protection.

      Even my old Core2Duo T7500 laptop with windows XP and 3GB RAM doesn't experience any slowdowns with realtime monitoring enabled.

    Not impressed with Malwarebytes premium. It caused bluescreens when running a bittorrent client. It caused Excel 2016 to stop responding when using Save As. Its own tray app wouldn't even respond to a right-click for the context menu.

      I had the save as issue in Office after the update, though it was quickly resolved. Have been using Malwarebytes Premium for around 7 years with next to no issues.

      It is the only anti-virus / anti-malware program that I would actually pay for.

    • daanish on 09/05/2017 - 06:42

      Bit late to respond but for any other readers I just mentioned the Bankwest card because there's no fees on it for international transactions or transactions in foreign currencies. Other credit/debit cards would also work but you might get charged an extra fee for foreign currency conversion.

    This used to be good, but I no longer recommend it. It slows down your computer and I got BSODs directly related to its monitoring (if I disabled it, no BSOD). Windows Defender is perfectly fine.

      You don't need this to protect your PC on the recent "WannaCry" outbreak if you are using Linux, Mac, Unix, Solaris, Windows 95/98, 3.11, MS Dos 3.3 to Dos 6.0 & Windows NT 3.51. If not just make sure your other Windows' has a patch of KB401XXXX will be enough to fix the leaks.

    For those only wanting 1 year licenses, it is cheaper again here: https://store.malwarebytes.com/342/purl-mbamedu?

    I've been hearing that this Brazilian Real trick works for other stuff. Does anyone know any other handy places this can be done? I'll be checking for currency options for everything I buy from now on.
