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.
