These days, most of the anti-malware software offer a free period of a few days to their potential clients. This trial period is offered so that the clients get to understand the kind of services the software is actually offering and whether or not it aligns with what they are seeking.
There is no formality or any kind of hidden fee to avail this free trial period, which mostly lasts from 10 days to a month. Malwarebytes Premium Free is also one such antivirus software that offers a trial period of 14 days.

For a fortnight people make use of all premium features. After that, they have two choices that they can make. They can either subscribe for the paid version and continue to use the advanced features, or they can stick with the free version and make use of limited features.
An interesting analogy that comes to explain the paid and the free of cost version is that of a vaccine and a disinfectant.
The free version of Malwarebytes antivirus software acts as a disinfectant, as in it detects and subsequently eliminates all the dangerous and undesirable files that are in a system or device. In other words, it only gets rid of junk or malware when it is in the system. The free version does not prevent the entry of malware in the system. In this way its powers are limited. It is not a guard or a gatekeeper but just the protector who resolves internal issues.
The Malwarebytes Premium Free and the paid version of this software acts as a vaccine, as in it prevents the malware from entering the system. It acts as a gatekeeper who checks what kind of documents, links, and files are gaining access. The jurisdiction of Malwarebytes Premium Free and the paid version is on all web-related links and all outside devices. This paid version not only throws away viruses that are in the system but also cuts their ways of entering the system. Hence, the paid version of Malwarebytes antivirus is more safe and reliable.
Here are a few things that the paid and premium version offers but the free version does not:
• It safeguards your identity from hackers who are looking for opportunities of identity theft.
• It prevents the breach of privacy from hackers.
• It keeps your files and documents out of the reach of hackers.
• It protects your passwords via a password manager.
• It keeps you away from websites and links that seem fraudulent and dangerous by flagging them as dangerous and blocking them.
• It saves your device from malware attacks that cause slow speed, lack of efficiency, and hampers the performance of your device.
• It eliminates threats that aim at corrupting your applications and programs.
• It scans all files that have been downloaded from the net to see if any of those have hidden virus.
• It scans all emails to check if any of them have Trojans or if the emails are phishing emails.
• The software secures all online payment methods that make online shopping and e-transactions safer.
• It also has an option where you can pause or deactivate malware related notifications and activate them when you are done with your work. This “do not disturb” option works well with gamers and those who do not want to be interrupted as they are doing some important work such as writing a paper, engaging in an important conference call, or simply trying to catch undisturbed sleep.

The only thing that is common between Malwarebytes Premium Free and Malwarebytes Free version is that they are both equipped to deal with malware infections that are inside the system.
One should take a trial period offered by Malwarebytes Premium Free before making any payment. The trial period lets a person know if the product they are choosing for the security of important data is in sync with their needs or not.
Many people think that their device is safe if they can run regular scans on the files that are inside their system. But these days most virus infections target online entities like email and social media accounts and online protection from malware is not covered in free versions.
