Before Kaspersky (sans malwarebytes), I used Symantec and before Symantec free AV programs.and managed to get infected no matter what program I was using. Thanks.interesting article and I will go with just Malwarebytes on the macs.but not on my windows computers.The article says Windows defender is good enough supplanted with Malwarebytes.and that "But the best protection is layers and good habits.They can talk about good habits all they want.but I have an office with several staff members who will open up malicious but innocent looking email items no matter how much training they have. Malwarebytes does intend to add features to it's Premium level along the lines you mentioned, but won't commit to a timeline. There can also be conflicts where one package detects the other as infected (that has mostly been resolved now) or refuses to allow it's installation if a competing brand is not fully removed first. That will only result in a struggle over which software gets access to a file and slow your computer in the process. My only recommendation in such cases is not to run more than one AV package in real-time or on-access mode. Some get by with nothing but macOS while others need maximum protection on all fronts due to their frequent use of shady web and torrent sites, falling for phishing emails and / or indiscriminately clicking hyperlinks. Without knowing how savvy the user is about computers in general and various types of malware, it isn’t possible to make recommendations . I doubt the staff will even comment on it's competition and most users are going to be somewhat biased, having chosen Malwarebytes.īut more importantly, there is no one size fits all. You are unlikely to receive unbiased views here. I have some extra kaspersky licenses lying around, but don't want to activate them yet and waste them on the Mac if not necessary. I don't know if the issue about phishing is accurate, but I do know kaspersky on my windows computers has regularly prevented phishing.which lately seems to be very sophisticated.fake dropbox emails, fake shareone emails etc.and Kaspersky blocks these sites or prevents malicious downloads. Also reading that malwarebytes for mac is lacking since it does not have a firewall and does not prevent phishing. Which brings up the question.is Malwarebytes for mac enough.I know mac has its own security superior to that of windows.and is not targeted like windows is, but lately I have been reading that mac is becoming more of a target. Not sure what the malware was, one of the threats had gibberish letters. Recently I installed malwarebytes premium on their computers and it did, on a scan, detect four malware threats and quarantined them on my daughter's college computer, which she has been using for three years now. My daughters use Mac and have done so without any sort of malware protection. And it has come in handly blocking rogue websites and exploits before detected by Kaspersky. protection and lets nothing through.and Malwarebytes I consider secondary protection just in case something gets by Kaspersky. Kaspersky provides firewall, mail scans, etc. I have been using windows forever.and I use Malwarebytes premium on top of Kaspersky.
