Well I mean, it does say he's fully protected right there on the screen. They wouldn't just lie to him like that, would they? :)

It even tells you to not rely on Malwarebytes as an Anti-Virus Software, that is one of the reasons why people still get infected, and then question if it truly worked or not.

It's actually been around for a long time, but I can't blame you for not knowing about it since it's one of the lesser known anti-viruses out there.

Also, Norton doesn't seem to max out my disk usage at all not running any scans, so it doesn't have too bad of a performance impact for me at least.

Webroot is a pretty neat option and light option, enough so that it can be used with other anti-virus software without conflicting too badly at least from my experience.

Yea I probably never heard of it because I usually get my Anti Virus Software based on the benchmarks.
