Malwarebytes Coupons + Cashback

Yes, they have. Under the Education discount, students and teachers are eligible. You can redeem a discount that cuts 50% on security plans for up to two devices. That’s one of the best savings we’ve seen on their antivirus software. The process is simple. Verify your student or teacher status with Proxi.ID and you’ll unlock your coupon. Always check for this discount first before paying full price on Standard or Plus plans.

Yes, but it depends on what you need. We have seen a lot of discussion on r/antivirus about Malwarebytes, and the consensus lines up with our experience. It is excellent at spotting and removing malware, but not as strong when it comes to phishing and ransomware protection. Independent tests, like those from PC Mag, back this up. Having it installed can still save you from big headaches if a virus ever blocks your internet connection. If you want something lightweight that will not slow down your computer, Malwarebytes is a solid choice. We like that its database is updated regularly so it can catch new threats quickly.

In our opinion, it's worth trying it out with their free version. It lets you run on-demand scans, which is helpful if you want an extra layer of protection. The paid plan starts at $44.99 per year for one device. That is not the cheapest option compared to other antivirus programs that cover multiple devices.

Malwarebytes doesn’t offer lifetime subscriptions anymore. Based on our research, the last time they offered it was back in 2014. So if you see someone advertising a “lifetime subscription” today, it’s not the real thing. Be smart and avoid those fake offers. Don’t risk wasting cash on something that won’t work.

A Reddit user shared that many of these so-called lifetime licenses are resold to multiple people. Eventually, they end up getting flagged and blocked by Malwarebytes. If you’ve already paid for one through a third-party site, we recommend reaching out to the seller to ask for a refund.
