About Malware-Bytes.net
Malware-Bytes.net is an independent publication about malware protection for Windows. We explain how anti-malware software works, how to scan and clean a Windows PC, and how to make sensible security decisions without buying more software than you need.
What we are not
We are not Malwarebytes Inc., we are not affiliated with it, and this is not the official Malwarebytes website, download source or support channel. Malwarebytes is a trademark of its owner and is used here only to identify the software we write about. For official downloads and support, go to malwarebytes.com.
How we produce content
Guides are written and reviewed by contributors who work with Windows systems, tested against current Windows 10 and Windows 11 builds, and revised when product behavior changes. Every page shows a last-reviewed date. See our editorial policy.
Scope
- Windows malware protection, scanning and removal
- Anti-malware and antivirus concepts explained without marketing language
- Practical Windows 10 and Windows 11 security hardening
We deliberately do not cover macOS, iOS, Android or ChromeOS — our contributors work on Windows, and writing about platforms we do not use daily would not serve readers.
