Indeed, if you already run a paid antivirus program, then a free malware removal app will prove a solid backup as a second line of defense to check with on-demand scans that nothing has slipped through the net of the antivirus. The scanning capabilities and core anti-malware engine will be the same as the paid product - with any decent app, that is - so you’re certainly getting a worthwhile app for nothing with a free anti-malware. It’ll allow you to manually fire up a scan to check your PC for malware, and flag up other possible nasties such as PUPs, those being Potentially Unwanted Programs (apps that may not be malicious, but could still interfere with and slow down your system, and might even intrude on your computing activities by, say, popping up an advert).
That said, the basics invariably consist of an on-demand malware scanner backed by a library of definitions to hunt out malware – and that’s all you really need to get going with. Naturally, with a paid anti-malware app, you’ll get more in the way of features – what would be the point in stumping up cash if you didn’t? Exactly what those additional functions may be over and above any free version will obviously differ depending on the security vendor, but typically, a freebie will only give you the very basics. If you select, "End Trial" this will end the trial features, and set the program into the Free version.We’ll start by looking at the differences between free and paid malware removal software, aside from the glaringly obvious – namely that a freebie won’t cost you anything, whereas a premium product will lighten your wallet to some extent. To do any of those things you first need to select one of the options on the pop up "End Trial" or "Buy Premium". Once a free trial has expired, you may wish to eliminate the notifications about the trial being expired, or you might even want to purchase the software or activate it if you already own a valid license. I keep getting notified that my trial has expired, how do I revert to the free version? Users who have previously completed the trial will not be prompted to start the trial upon upgrade or reinstallation. If you continue to use the free version, there is no requirement to buy a license.you can just use it as a stand-alone scanner. Enabling the Protection Module feature again requires registration and purchase of a license key. When the limited time period expires those features will be deactivated and locked AND Malwarebytes will notify you with a " Trial Expired" message. A 14-day trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium is available as a pre-selected default option when first installing the free version (regardless of where you download) so all users can test the real-time protection component/ features for a period of two weeks.
