Welcome to Malwarebytes Affiliate. We are a UK based affiliate / reseller of what has to be the best removal tool to hit the market over the past 10 years.
Having worked in the IT industry for 20 years, we are constantly hit on a weekly basis with clients PC's and Laptops that appear to have some kind of Malware / Virus issues.
Thankfully Malwarebytes is your answer to a clean removal of these unwanted rogue applications.
Why do individuals develop these rogue Malware / Virus / Trojan applications like Antivirus 2010 you may ask ?
Lets take a look at why these people do this:
Write a Malware application cost $100,000Create a childs website with Free games, downloads, video's etc $50,000 (children are easy targets!)Outlay for the con artists is $150,000
OK, what's in it for them you may ask ?
Lets take the Google searches for the term Antivirus 2008 removal tool, Antivirus 2009 removal tool, Antivirus 2010 removal tool, total searches is 10,000,000. Please bare in mind this is only one of the 100s of rogue applications out there. Lets say that 10% of the searches actually has the Malware / Virus on their machines and half of those people fell for the scam and paid for the Antivirus 20XX to remove the Malware from their machines by paying the $29.
So $29 x 500,000 = $14,500,000. And this is for only one of the 100's of rogue applications !! Not a bad return on their $150,000 investment !
How does the Malware / Viruses get onto our PC's / Workstations in the first place ?
This can be done in many ways, most are from website's especially childrens websites as they are an easy target, they don't know what Malware / Viruses are, other than a cold they get now and again! By clicking onto a streaming video link, downloading a free game, downloading a free screensaver, there are hundreds of ways that can trigger the install of the rogue application.
When you click on an install button or play link to a video, you are giving them permission to install the application on your PC, whilst you think your getting a free game or a funny video, your getting your machine compromised with all sorts of Malware, viruses, tojans, root kits etc.
Now the Malware and Viruses are installed during the installation of the rogue application, and yes they are real viruses! The rogue application says that it can remove these viruses for you if you pay a fee (normally $29) STOP THERE, DO NOT DO A SCAN OR DETECTION using this rogue application that has appeared on your machine, leave it !
At this stage you must download Malwarebytes using the links at the top of this page and perform a 'Quick Scan'. The longer you leave it the worse your machine will get. As time goes on it will get more infections due to your PC has been compromised until your machine is completely unusable, then you will have to get someone to either remove it bit by bit or re-image your PC or laptop from scratch. This as you know can be an huge avoidable expense !!
If the virus is stopping you from installing Malwarebytes, download and run Rkill first and then run the Malwarebytes setup again, it's free

GREAT APP, THNX x
great tool. malwarebytes ur the best
great product worked a treat thankyou. i had to use the rkill first on my pc in order to get it to work.
Hi rkill worked for me, it wouldn't install malwarebytes as the virus was stopping it from installing. ran rkill first and that closed down the processes from the virus. installed malwarebytes after and cleaned up. worked a treat thanks.
Sometimes the only way is to download malwarebytes and rkill onto a usb stick from a clean pc and then put it in the infected pc and run rkill first, then run the malwarebytes setup. let it update and then run a quick scan.
Please run the RKILL first on your PC or laptop and then run the Malwarebytes setup again if you are unable to install it first time. The viruses stop Malwarebytes from being installed, RKILL will stop all of the infected processes first to then allow a clean install of Malwarebytes.
I keep getting a message that the source fiile is corrupted when attempting to download the updated programme. Is this a virus problem or is there a source file problem?
I removed the previous version as it would not update.
How can i download programme if virus is stopping downloading even in Safe Mode startup

I used this having been infected by 'System tool' this week on a home computer - followed precise instructions and it cleaned it out - will purchase the full package this week as this virus walked right through our windows security - don't hesitate it works
worked a charm
wow this really worked for me. got rid of 21 infected files
Used this on my daughters laptop the other day after it was got at by 'Spyware Doctor'. Ran it and it found more than just the one infection.
Superb bit of software, thaks a lot- it's saved me one hell of a lot of work. (ran it on my own machine and found nothing so I'm a smug git ;-) )

Thanks worked well.
Cool thanks dude sorted out my probs
Thanks worked as described.
Cheers for the explanation worked great. removed 178 viruses running a quick scan. make sure it updates first though, goto the update tab click update, it goes off and finds the latest update.
Worked like a charm
Now you explain it, it makes sense why they do this. They can make millions £££ 's and get away with it.
Thanks for the advice. ran the Malwarebytes checker and found 24 infections. Strangly an AVG scan didn't find any of these at all.
thankyou. took a while to do a full scan but it did find alot of malicious malware. regards C
ran malwarebytes once and it cleaned my machine. i had to do a reboot of my computer and voila, no problem all sorted cheers.
Thanks, worked a treat !
all i can say is what a great tool. malwarebytes does exactly what is says on the tin
I spent ages trying to get rid of malware on my computer. I tried to send a guy a copy of my hijack this to take a look, he said that it was FULL of infections ! My thought's was 'Great' now what ? Then I found malwarebytes.co.uk and downloaded the free scanner. All I can say is 'WOW' it cleaned all the infected files, done a reboot and now my computer is back to normal again. Well done malwarebytes !
i stumbled on your site, what a god send ! i have been struggling for days trying to get my computer back to normal. downloaded malwarebytes and problem solved, thnx
Great product, so easy to install and run. Thanks for the write up, explains alot about why they do this. found loads on my machine. Sally
Now you mention it, it kind of adds up why they do this type of thing. I had weird things popping up on my screen, i downloaded Malwarebytes and updated it, run a scan and it picked up a whole host of nasties. at the end of the scan it reported 164 !! it had to restart my machine in order to get rid of some of them. after it rebooted, my computer was back to normal. Cheers
Hi, thanks for the explanation, now you mention it, it makes sense why they do program these rogue applications. They could potentially make 100's of millions of pounds or dollars doing this, and get away with it. I downloaded Malwarebytes and found 57 threats and removed them. I had to do a reboot after, and my problem was solved ! thanks again John
