Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware, (MBAM)
Whether you know it or not your computer is always at risk of becoming infected with viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, dialers, spyware, and malware that are constantly evolving and becoming harder to detect and remove. Only the most sophisticated anti-malware techniques can detect and remove these malicious programs from your computer.

Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware has compiled a number of new technologies that are designed to quickly detect, destroy, and prevent malware. Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware can detect and remove malware that even the most well known anti-virus and anti-malware applications fail to detect. Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware monitors every process and stops malicious processes before they even start.

The MBAM real time protection module comes with the Pro version. The Pro version is what Mike recommends, not just the free version. Mike’s Computer Repair is an officially registered sales partner for Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware. You can purchase the key from Mike. Mike is trained to properly install and configure MBAM for you. This does not replace Anti-Virus, it complements it. Mike installs Avast! Free Anti-Virus and configures both to work together properly.
