Get This Fantastic Anti-Virus Software For Half Its Regular Price

Malwarebytes protects from all types of malicious software, including viruses, and works on a wide variety of devices.

Comments

Every PC, laptop, and smartphone is at risk of being infected with malware. Thankfully, malicious software like viruses are easy to protect against on all of these devices, as there are plenty of options for anti-malware software out there. My personal favourite is MalwareBytes, a type of anti-malware software that I've used for the last eight years. Newegg currently has a great deal on one year of Malwarebytes Premium for $30, down from $60, with promo code 52PTYHC4. The deal runs through the weekend and ends on May 18.

Newegg's Malwarebytes Premium deal comes as a digital code, so you don't have to worry about shipping or waiting for it to arrive. You can also buy more than a single one-year subscription from Newegg and still take advantage of the promo code discount. This lets you stack multiple years of your overall Malwarebytes subscription, so you won't have to pay again until the subscription ends.

Malwarebytes, one-year of protection for five devices

This one-year offer lets you protect up to five different devices, so you can install the software on your PC, laptop, and smartphone and still have two device activations left over for a friend or loved one. It's also a great option for parents looking to protect their family's various devices. It works on PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chromebook devices.

If you want to try Malwarebytes before you buy it, you can download a free trial from its website. It gives you access to everything Malwarebytes Premium offers, including 24/7 malware detection, stopping and blocking attacks, and preventing access from malicious website, except it expires after 14 days.

The great thing about Malwarebytes is that it lets you know when a website may contain malware or downloads for PUPs (potentially unwanted programs). Some perfectly safe programs do show up as PUPs, such as the open-source gaming software CheatEngine, but thankfully, Malwarebytes gives you the option to omit certain programs from its detection. You're also able to scan for threats, quarantine potential malware, and remove it from your device completely.
