There is Still a Freeware Version of Malwarebytes

If you try to download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Major Geeks you will now find only the shareware version. For some reason they have removed the freeware version. However do not despair. You can go to Malwabytes.org and the free version still exists on their homepage. They do redirect you to CNet. This site has been around for years and seems safe enough. During the download process it updates the program and definitions. Be sure and let it do these things. In other words, don't uncheck the boxes. This is a wonderful and powerful tool and I will purchase the shareware version. I suggest everyone do the same. Remember you download at your own risk. It runs fine on all my PCs.

This subject has come up several times in the past week or so. There is a new wave of spyware making rounds so be careful out there. Hope this helps!
