Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) is computer software that finds and removes malware, such as spyware. It is available in a free version, which scans for and removes spyware when started manually, and a paid version, which provides scheduled scans, real-time protection and a flash memory scanner.

Scanning your hard drive with the free MBAM about every week offers your computer another wall of protection, finding malware your main program may have missed. This software user-friendly. Simply install it, check for updates when prompted, and start scanning. You can specify whether to scan just one drive, file, or folder.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is designed to find spyware that other spyware programs generally miss, including rogue security software and adware. It is available in both a free and a paid edition.
