According to CNET:
"Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a surprisingly effective freeware antimalware
tool. It's a relatively speedy malware remover, with the quick scan taking
about 8 minutes even with other high-resource programs running. The heuristics
engine proved on multiple computers during empirical testing that it was
capable of determining the difference between false positives and dangerous
apps.
The app has some nice features rolled in, too. It supports multiple drive
scanning including networked drives, context menu options including a
scan-on-demand for individual files, and the FileAssassin option under the More
Tools section for removing locked files.
The interface is simple, but pleasant-looking and well-organized. Tabs live
just below the oversized logo, with few options per tab to keep down the
clutter. The installation process was fast enough, but interestingly offered up
the well-kept changelog and an instant definition file update.
Do note that the real-time protection is restricted to the paid version, as is
the scheduler for updates and scans. Overall, though, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
is a responsive malware remover that does what it should with a minimum of
fuss."
