About Malwarebytes Premium
Malwarebytes earned its name as the tool that removes what other scanners miss. Adware, browser hijackers, and potentially unwanted programs. The free version is removal-only. Premium adds real-time protection and plays nicely alongside Microsoft Defender, which is exactly how many professionals run it. It skips the suite extras (no firewall, no parental controls), and its lab results are good rather than chart-topping. For cleanups and as a second layer, unbeatable.
Malwarebytes Premium pricing
Malwarebytes Premium costs $3.75 per month, or $44.99 per year on the Standard, 1 device (per year) plan. There is a free tier as well. List prices on annual billing. Paying monthly usually costs more.

Independent lab results
No AV-TEST score for Malwarebytes Premium in the rounds we read.
AV-Comparatives included Malwarebytes Premium in its Real-World Protection Test February-May 2026, published June 15, 2026. The lab asks for written permission before its ratings are reproduced, so the result is on the lab’s page rather than here.
AV-Comparatives: Real-World Protection Test February-May 2026“The cleanup champion. When something slips through, Malwarebytes is what technicians reach for, and it runs happily next to Defender or any suite. As your only protection it is thinner than the big suites, but as a second layer it is the best money in this market.”Checked by our editorial team
