Malwarebytes which version?

[mlfixer]

Hey All,

Which Malwarebytes product do most of you use to clean out customers' infected systems? I understand there is no liveCD or USB version available, so how do you get around that?

Is anyone using the Technician's version that does come on USB stick?

thanks

I would use the techbench version as it comes on a usb stick and for technicians

I've looked into Techbench, but in initial research it looks like it's $500. Whoopie, it's portable and comes on a flash drive... Is that worth $500? I just download a new version of MalwareBytes free on my USB stick when it's available, load it up on my client's computer and away I go. If it won't install, RKill, rename the install file, etc, etc... I seriously don't think $500/year for a "free" product just to avoid having to install it is worth it.

Does the Techbench version do something that the free version doesn't?

I use the portable version that is added in the GE Tech Toolkit.

I'm a reseller. I use it for the cleanup, go for the upsell on pickup and leave it in the Trial mode if they "want to think about it."

Its nothing special, I have it and won't be renewing, the drive has a habit of breaking so I need to keep requesting a new one. In fact the only thing it does is offline updates really, and you can do this with a USB drive and the standard version or with d7.

What other license agreements do you violate?

Using the free version is against the EULA in a repair environment.
