Overall Satisfaction with ThreatDown, powered by Malwarebytes

use to protect 10 computers plus 2 servers in a medical office. The idea was to protect against future virus attacks as our network had been breached in the past
  • scans for viruses
  • encourages installation and upgrades
  • has creative solutions for malware
  • poor customer service
  • dashboard says product is working EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT!
  • slow response to concerns that should be easy to remedy
  • creates baggage which caused certain computers and the network to run more slowly
  • caused 3 computers on our network top have windows errors and network issues
  • waste of my money
  • loss of money ---difficult to get a refund on defective product
  • many hours spent removing product
  • caused undo IT resources to fix related computer issues caused by this product
Selected this because it seemed like a good solution. After 2 years of using, I find that the system had not been working for FOUR MONTHS! even though system reported that ALL WAS WELL

Upgrading ThreatDown, powered by Malwarebytes

Yes - product worked fine until upgraded to managed response and patch management. Then multiple computers had serious networking and windows errors. One was completely unuseable. Errors disappeared once software completely removed
