"There goes my like-to-dislike ratio"
2615 vs. 93. Uhh...
Richard Samuelson hey
That’s pretty good
@@AlexDenton0451 Yes, I agree, but the way the quote was worded sounded like the video creator was worried it'd be overwhelmingly negative - when it turned out to be the exact opposite.
i mean he proved it on the video...unless people are brain dead stupid..lol
Linus has an annoying voice
Malware bytes has always been an add on product. I remember when it first came out it was always geared towards being an add on.
amazing how much has changed since the making of this video. would be interesting to see the same test conducted with the current version of these 2 products.
bump
It would be good to hear about the best combination of security programs to optimize security.

People can dislike this kind of video? Geez! Thanks for pointing out the marketing ploy behind the two terms.
Muhammad Aswan Bin Awang probably because he dissed Linus
@@foraminutethere23 Would you idiots shut up, this video has an average like-dislike ratio. Stop over-exaggerating things so you can take a swing at Linus fans. Pathetic
+Darkon Ookami: Nobody was dissing linus here other than that memelord over there. why do you even react to someone with that frog as a profile picture, thats all they want. either way your response was so pathetic, triggered and immature that you, on your own, have taken a much bigger swing at the linus fans than any other person here in this comment section.
cause with that crappy response uve painted all linus fans as idol worshipping little 12 year olds who cant take criticism of their god. like why are u getting so triggered over someone making fun of people worshipping a grown-ass man on the internet.
You making this to shitshow and is no reason for that

*Hmm.. very tempting*
Siam are you there..
WOW it's so cool, you are OVER here
Is malwarebytes is best? Siam please reply
@Sky what do you mean by bullet proof.
Very useful information! Thanks! :)
Could you please help with the difference between. Antivirus and internet security. Kaspersky for instance has both products.
I remember I had issues with browser infections years ago and the respective registry keys that it cleaned and issues - gone. This is how I went for Malwarebytes and even took an year license.
Thanks, helpful video with the info I was looking for.
Explained so well! Thank you
I feel as if MalwareBytes isn't there to help prevent your computer from getting malware, I feel as if it's more of a fixer. There's not a lot out there that malwarebytes can't destroy once it latches on. Which is why it is used best in tandem with something else like bitdefender. Whatever another AV detects, malwarebytes can decimate.
Precisely, thx for the video. This is vital for me.
excellent video, very informative, thanks!
Another very good video!
Thanks.
Nice content really like to learn new things!
Hey Leo, just wondering which AV and/or AM do you use personally in your main PC?
Looking at the files left, there are files that Bitdefender did not delete, yet Malwarebytes quarantined. This means that having both running will increase the detection ratio, right? I wonder if I should add Malwarebytes to my laptop that already has Bitdefender
Could you please tell me where can I download these samples? I would like buy Wise Anti Malware but I want to test the program how good it is before considering buying it.
Hi Leo, Yes I agree with you as you remember they use to have a separate spyware product to complement the AV portion of the product and eventually they integrated the product altogether making it a full security service product. As security changes many features are added in order to enhance the AV's defenses example Anti-Ransomware protection.
Thanks for the demo.
Excellent video, thanks for the information!

How are "security information and event management" (SIEM) software different from antivirus and antimalware.
Very good video, but still I do have questions. I am running both applications Bitdefender and Malware bytes at the same time. Reaction of Malware bytes on Bad Websites is much more faster than the same thing from Bitdefender. May be Malware is working better in real time protection and Bitdefender catch the viruses later? The problem is with slow running laptop. All the time usage of Hard Drive is about 100%
Technician from Microsoft advised me to run Bitdefender only once a week and Malware Bytes all the time. What do you think?
Do the opposite.
Run bitdefender all the time and do a quick scan with Malwarebytes once a week
How in the world were you allowed to install Bitdefender with Malwarebytes active?When I wanted to install Bitdefender on my laptop,I had to uninstall Avira first
wow. You are awesome. REAL reviews.
Good explanation and very informative. Great video. keep it up! Lovely Windows 10 theme too. How it can be installed? ;)
Leo, no one is asking what would happen if you ran those scans again, so what would happen same results?
Where do you get your threats such as in that example folder?
Thank you very much.Now my confusions are clear.
Great content. Will suggest everyone who ask me for security software recommendations
Zemana seems to rate higher in malware detection than malwarebytes, would be interesting to see you review it, also zemana is touted as being more specific to protect against the threats that really do financial damage and theft such as keylogger and screenshot malware
so is a kombo needed? because of malewarebite removed some different, seen in the clip..
Thank you for this video. Should I run another AV with Norton? I get Norton free with Comcast.
from my experience and usage, i noticed the malwarebytes can find a certain malware, trojan, exploits that anti-virus seems to ignore, so iam using both
Can you scan the Bitdefender folder with Malwarebytes to see how many it picks up that Bitdefender didn't?
I had Malwarebytes and got hit, I hear TotalAV was great so I bought it only to find I hate it. Have you tested TotalAV at all?
I would be interested to see what actual files were left by each. Did Malwarebytes catch some files Bitdefender missed? if it did then in that case I'll take both.
So hi Leo, what you think about Emsisoft have Antimalware name but is a Antivírus too, so what you think about that??
Thanks for the info. How do u fell about Avast.
Very informative video thanks
I use Kaspersky free version along with Malwarebytes free version..i think that's the best combination for complete security without paying any extra money.. Kaspersky has little impact on performance and very high detection ratio where as Malwarebytes helps me to get second opinion whenever i download new file or insert a pendrive to my pc.. I have seen that many times Malwarebytes catches the adware and pup that go undetected by Antiviruses.. However it would be stupidity to depend on Malwarebytes alone because it can't be replacement for Antiviruses.. And thanks for the video.. your videos has helped a lot in choosing a good antivirus or antimalware to a lot of people..
Hey, how you got the free version of Kaspersky in India? I can't find it anywhere.
Correct good info thanks!
Thnx for the explanation i was confused what the diffrence even was xD
Hey! I'm a little confused. Malwarebytes does horrible in this test, but you use it as a second opinion scanner in other videos???? Is there something that makes it good as a second opinion scanner?
was wondering why you had no detection right on clicking on the folder or when "COPYING" them! since normally you want it to scan on open, close, read and write!
Same... I was also wondering
How do we secure Ubuntu !??? After re-install do I have to activate the firewall or ....??
what is your suggested free antivirus?
Before I say anything else I've looked at your videos for sometime pretty good in the main but what's your qualification I mean are you an expert?
how did you download bit defender while having malware bytes cuz i cant
The way you explain the security flaws are just awesome
I subbed. Awesome channel
So should we scan our computers with malware once a week or not even use it?
Leo, can you Please test Sophos Home ? I have some issues with my Malwarebytes lifetime license key. While in touch with the Malwarebytes support team I decided to install Sophos home since they claimed on their website that it can protect against viruses, malware and ransomware. As of the 29th of January 2018 the version number for Sophos Home is 1.2.11. The biggest concern I have with it so far is that on an SSD it seems to use almost my whole CPU whilst running a full scan, with no way to pause it. The UI is almost spartan and seems odd, to say the least. What intrigues me is that the installer weighs in at whooping 255 MB. While it is installing it downloads quite big updates, or they just seem slower than most modern AVs. Overall it feels like this AV is half finished and raises some red flags or should I say, looks like a red herring to me. I used to use Bitdefender Antivirus Free + Immunet but since the latter turned out to be junk in one of your test videos, I have been looking for some free combos. Maybe you can do a new free antivirus challenge? Malwarebytes looks stellar in comparison with Sophos home, if one can even be made. At least in short testing. It might be just my machine. I'd love to see this AV put to the test. I guess that Sophos was the AV of choice for the NHS when WannaCry struck. I appreciate all the hard work that you are putting into it. I hope that you will see this comment. Keep the awesomeness coming! @The PC Security Channel [TPSC]
Antivirus protects you against malware (viruses, trojans, ransomware, etc). So antivirus = anti-malware.
2 years late but It's the other way around. Virus is just one kind of Malware.
@@thefallenones7601 yes but nowadays "antivirus" software protects you against all kinds of malware
@@aizensosuke5749 u sure cuz i have bitdefender and i suspect i have a malvare so will it find it ?
@@zamer6771 yes bitdefender detects all types of malware
@Exillty yes
but WHAT is a great anti virus or malware program ? I'm using Norton's 360 but will it catch everything? i don't think so. so what IS the best? I see hitman pro.. then you hear negative things about that. just WHAT is the best?
Had my bitdefender tagging steam downloading CSGO as a threat. Each individual file downloaded gets blocked and I get notified of the threat everytime spamming me away in each.
I tried reinstalling bitdefender but it just installs bitdefender agent and not the whole program. I did use Revo uninstaller to uninstall though. Any advice? Should I just keep using Windows Defender? I don't trust Avast anymore recently.
Just put your file to exception
Where you get malware samples? I want specific malware sample and specific type of malware.
This question has been asked hundred's of times and he made a video for that. You can go search for it, I'm not linking just because it makes people lazy.
good, so what antivirus do you recomend? and please dont tell me "it depends"
I don't know about any of this. Repairing computers myself, I have used Malwarebytes to cleanup many viruses and malware that a lot of Antivirus programs have let through or didn't cleanup, Bit Defender being one of them.
I usually have Malwarebytes Free as a second-opinion scanner alongside my main free "AV" (currently Kaspersky). I might replace the former with Zemana, though, based on the comments and tests I've seen. Been wanting to try paid AM/AV, but my being a cautious and tech-savvy user has been, so far, my PCs' best first line of defense since Win XP so free should do for now.
It seems Malwarebytes disables Windows Defender, I have Premium Malwarebytes with Real-Time Protection, is the Realtime for Malwarebytes protection sufficient to use it over Windows Defender? Thanks
Everyone here dissing Linus. His content is more for entertainment as a oppose to accuracy. It would be like complaining top gear isn't as factually accurate as a well researched car documentary.
If I got this right, he's basically, he is like the Jontron of the tech community.
-Makes videos that are supposed to be comedic.
-But he is often inaccurate.
Personally, I don't watch his videos so I have no idea to what he talks about or does.
AKO675 I
his product revievs r good
Why you shredding Top Gear? I thought they were gospel...not!
Well, top gear is good because its *ACTUALLY FUNNY*, but linuses jokes are so unfunny, Normie and immature that its unreal
Really good video! Thanks
How can I run both at the same time
Thank you for the explanation. I always thought that I needed to install both. Slows down my machine. I am quiet happy with Avast.
Hey leo! Im currently using sophos home as my stand alone AV but im not sure how good it is. Is it ok if you do a review on it?
Thanks Mario583
No 45 drive 1PB server from Linus for you now
haha
This channel so much better.
Puzzling video to me as I have used MBAM for over a decade on lots off PCs with all kinds of security software which did not pickup lots of malware over a long of time.
So should i get both?
where can i get these files
Can you do a test for Spybot search and destroy Free version verses pay for version ,and weather they are any good?
That's a damn nice wallpaper sir
personally i just use both because MalwareBytes has a more accurate scan but Bitdefender can catch malicious software more accurately . So I just keep both for safety
But what about Adwcleaner? Bitdefender couldn't detect my adware.
Is it possible to keep using Bitdefender for free? Without trials? I can't even find the free version download on their site, only the trial..
There are cracked serial keys out there i can give you one if you want tho
I have an AV , i had an AM (malware bytes) then i uninstalled it cause i had lag and i dont have an AM anymore but do i really need one?
Malware bytes has always struck me as extremely lean resource intensive wise. My pc has 4 hard drives and a. Quick scan completes in 52 seconds while using a amount of CPU resources. Bitdefender takes much longer by comparison and can use upto 50% CPU resources and I run an i9 9900k
gracias por traernos tan buen contenido. Yo hace poco me decidí por kaspersky total security me compre la licencia por 2 años
I'm thinking to buy bitdefender is it good ?
But I use it both the malwarebytes for scanner and bitdefender for security but it not does effect the performance
I use both malwarebytes AND AVG FREE. They are completely compatible and both in conjunction is great. AVG FREE has never been a problem and is not overly intrusive with ads. I love it.
Sooooo... what I took away from this video is I should instead use *Incognito Mode* and just hide from both threats. If they can't see me, can't infect me right??!!
Can you please test ESET Smart Security?
For me I've both Bitdefender and malwarebytes work side by side to cover my ASP!
Nice desktop background.
So, I have them both. Free Bitdefender and Premium Malverbytes. Is this a good combo?
If you don't mind the slow response of your computer
@@andrewseed7184 What do you mean by slow response? PC getting fucked before the shit gets captured or what?
3:24: Now use both the anti virus and anti malware at the same time
I too dont like Linus much, he buys so much computer hardware to "review" it, but what he's really saying is "Hey look at me I'm loaded and I can buy whatever the hell I want! You jelly bro?" Understanding computers is a much better channel, gets to the point without the subtle bragging. A bit like how this channel is better than Rougeamp, gets to the point without the stupid.
CoolDudeClem the best part is that Linus would actually say "you jelly, bro?"
Nah you just getting butthurt XD

@@David-jn1gg dumbass fans
the creator of malwarebytes is an alumni from my frat. Hes dope and really trying to do good with his company, always trying to improve. also spends a lot at the bar when he visits us haha
Opnion antivirus 360 es liviano efectivo ???
WHAT ABOUT BLOAT WARE PROTECTION
But isn't it just as important, or even more important, how a program handles exploits?
How can a virus GET on your computer. It's through vulnerabilities in other programs. Then viruses can hide in other, common, programs.
How does a Software detect THAT? And is it possible to test?
Thank you very much for this video, I appreciate your channel!
The problem with this 'Test' is that Malware gets on your computer through websites etc and thats where Malwarebytes shines stopping malware from reaching your computer. This test is scanning for malware already on your computer which Bitdefender will always win hands down because it's better for scanning the computer vs stopping malware from reaching your computer. Check out some other tests, you will see what I mean :)
Puritii UK kaspersky’s real time aka paid version feature makes it so that if it DOES reach your computer it immediately goes through the disinfection protocol. if all fails it goes to deleting the malware and shredding it to pieces
so its a mix of both haha
Malwarebytes just found malware on my computer that bitdefender, avast, and kaspersky let through...
Hello
I am 30 days away from renewing my Emsisoft anti-malware.
Should I keep it or change for a better standalone anti-virus?
Thanks!
N Ventura You can keep it, it’s top 3 (Emsisoft, Bitdefender, Kaspersky) but renew your licence once it finishes your trial period
Thanks for the opinion!
But I already bought it last year, so this will be my 2nd year using it.
N Ventura Cool! For some reason I understood that you were using Emsisoft trial period (because of the 30 days) sorry I read that wrong xD
Awesome video ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Old is Gold
What I want to see is what solution that doesn't require google chrome level of resources and or excessive FPR.
Bitdefender runs as a stand-alone AV product. MalwareBytes was designed to work with Windows Defender to provide protection. Bitdefender actually tells you it will conflict with Windows defender and recommends you disable it. If you ran the Malwarebytes test with Windows Defender disabled, you did not use the recommended settings. Also, the free version of Malwarebytes doesn't do some things that the Premium version does.
It would have been great if you could make a video about the meltdown and specter exploits and how they could potentially compromise a system's security,esp. for older systems that no longer receive any bios or firmware updates,thereby making them more vulnerable.And yes,linus sebastian is rather annoying.
Please make a free antivirus video and second hand option, should one opt for overall security for home pc user.
My PC cannot get an important security update because it needs 8GB and I have 3GB...
Help
You mean ram?
Then your out of luck you need to buy a new computer or upgrade
After watching I thought the video should be called "Antivirus" vs Anti-Malware.
I've heard that avast is an antivirus not an anti-malware is that true?
ITS BOTH.
