No warranty on accuracy of third-party software behavior
We do our best to describe how software like Malwarebytes behaves, but software changes over time and we are not the vendor. We can't guarantee that a described feature works identically on every version or configuration, and using this site doesn't create any support relationship with us for third-party products.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the complete terms of service?
No, it's a summary. The complete legal terms are on our terms of service page.
Can I republish your articles?
Short excerpts with attribution and a link are fine; full reproduction requires permission — contact us through the contact page.
Does using this site create a contract with Malwarebytes?
No. We're an independent site. Any agreement you enter into by using the actual Malwarebytes software is between you and that vendor.
