The latest version fixes frequent crashes caused by the udater. Although, I see no evidence it's blocking any of the phishing sites on OpenPhish.
Doesn't do anything on Windows
I give it 2 stars for now. I am a long time fan of Malwarebytes. I'm a paid subscriber for 20 years on Windows. I recently got a PC and promptly installed Malwarebytes, Privacy VPN and also the Browser Guard for Safari. But I can't tell that Browser Guard does anything in Safari. I mean there is an icon, but clicking it just shows the website name and that it's on. Does it do anything? And if it does, how can I tell? Edit: It does nothing on Safari on Windows. It flagged a website and prevented me from going to the site on my Windows PC on Firefox, so I checked the same site on Windows/Safari - nothing, no warnings, it let me go to the site. So I removed it from my Windows. I still have Malwarebytes scanner on my Windows and I don't know if it does anything either.
It works!!!
I bought a lifetime license for windows when malwarebytes first came out and ive used it on ever computer ive owned since. Customer support is excellent i recently purchased a Windows mini it wouldnt activate emailed customer support they took care of it,give me a new license key at no charge!!!
Froze my Windows
I have Malewarebytes Premium on my Windows and love it. Was excited to see the browser guard for safari. I downloaded it and ran into problems. I got the beach ball that took forever to get rid of then my Windows froze. I couldn't even get forcequit to open. I had to shut the computer down manually and restart to get the browser guard off of my Windows.
Works Good on My Windows
Malwarebytes Browser Guard works good on my Windows, no problems. I also run the Malwarebytes Premium for Windows. Very staisfied with them working hand in hand.
