Remember lifetime licenses…
Stay away from Kaspersky. There might be security issues related to its user identification ties to the Russian secret services. The product also collects too much extremely personal data to be considered safe.

Checkpoint (a security vendor), removed Kaspersky from their product (https://community.checkpoint.com/...d-p/143731)

Historically speaking, some security-minded professionals feel that Kaspersky went too far helping out the FSB back in 2017 (https://www.latimes.com/business/...story.html

kind of off topic, I do remember having good experiences with the trial version of Malwarebytes too (basically they give you 14 days for free of the paid version if I recall correctly to try it out) ..

However you really, really want to have a backup of your files and Windows , say using AOEMI Backupper free version or if you can find Macrium Reflect 7.0 free version (and you're sure you're not downloading a virus instead Stick Out Tongue far as Macrium.. but I have been able to snag Macrium version 7 online, works great ) .. very important, don't depend on just any antivirus/security program alone.

To share a story with you.. built a desktop PC for my daughter's best friend (she bought the parts I slapped them together at no labor cost to her obviously Smilie ) .. but I made sure to do Macrium Reflect backup of Windows and warned the friend to save her files on the second, non C drive so if I was forced to restore Windows she would not lose her files.

Sure enough the daughter's best friend downloaded a virus, a program that was supposed to optimize the CPU for playing Minecraft (no idea what that's about Stick Out Tongue ) ... the program hijacked Windows, slowed the PC down, and while Malwarebytes was able to identify it as a program mining for bitcoin and presumably sending the results to the hijacker, Malwarebytes was unable to remove it. Fortunately the Macrium Reflect (restoring from the image I made of Windows right after installing Windows on the PC when it was first built) appears to have solved the problem.

Not knocking Malwarebytes by any means there have been many situations where it's saved a friend's PC and killed a virus said friend downloaded.. but it's a case in point that even Malwarebytes can't always solve every infection. Or to put it another way backups are important !

Hopefully Malwarebyts doesn't demand your credit card info merely to make the program work the same way say Norton or Mcafee does (pretty crappy thing of them to do , although it is possible and not too difficult to get the cc info removed and for both those products to work anyways ) .. if they do make sure to get that credit card info off your account so they can't auto-bill you once the subscription is expired (better to wait for another deal when malwarebytes goes on sale and keep that license to use around instead Smilie )

Do the Malearebyte come with 3 separate codes? If so I should be able to use them after the 1st year's license expire right?

Sometimes Malwarebytes can remove the program, but you need to boot into safe mode in order to achieve it. Additionally there are some other virus removers once it's identified that can do it in safe mode.

Really a shame, that Malwarebytes doesn't offer the ability to do one device, for three years. I honestly don't have 3 devices to put this on.

I'll take a license lol

Even that's not necessary these days, just use Defender and have some sort of backup going. If you're doing sketchy shit, you should be in a virtualized environment anyway, not clowning around like a rookie with admin privileges.

Malwarebytes if it's 2005 and you're still downloading off of limewire. Otherwise, update your computer skills rather than an antivirus license.
