Malwarebytes Premium

Malwarebytes Premium Security provides ongoing protection against malware, ransomware, phishing, malicious sites, scams, and other online threats. It runs automatically to help prevent attacks, while Web Protection blocks phishing sites and malicious URLs before they load. Listed protections include malware and potentially unwanted program detection, ransomware protection, and Windows exploit and brute-force protection. Scam Guard identifies suspicious content and recommends next steps; Trusted Advisor offers personalized security advice. The product page lists Privacy VPN for desktop and mobile, as well as Windows webcam and Remote Desktop monitoring. Included Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocks ads, prevents third-party cookie tracking, and flags suspicious sites; it supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. Downloads are listed for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android. Feature availability varies by operating system: a comparison lists ransomware and exploit protection as paid on Windows and unavailable on Mac. A free plan is listed, but Malwarebytes Free is described as a cleanup tool for attacks that have already caused damage, rather than ongoing prevention. Premium Security lists a device limit of 20.
