Notice to me that my current membership has not been fully started

Ability to get a company person to help me is difficult for this 63 year old person. So for now, is my computer, and is my iPhone protected with the coverage I recently purchased and paid for.

Im currently recovering from serious surgery. I will try again to get your help when I am discharged, and home at the address you have for me.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. 1.

Lost money when I deleted the original installed Malwarebytes Premium software.2. Tech Support finally responded and gave me the instructions I needed to install the software for Malwarebytes Premium.

Software working properly.3. Google Play refunded the money I had spent on Malwarebytes Security Plus that had not installed properly.

Original review Jan 08, 2025
During this whole experience I was never able to make contact with a real human being. No one in tech support attempted to contact me by responding to the ticket that had been generated in regard to my problem.

Not only did I not get the software installed but I also lost the original software that had been installed in years past. I have never been so disappointment in a company's service department.
In previous years, Malwarebytes has always responded to my problems and concerns quickly and positively. I had always thought the Malwarebytes was the best of the best.

I now think it is the bottom of the list in care and quality of their products. Their new Malwarebytes Security Package is a pile of junk.

Resolved: Poor customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

After purchasing their product, I found that it could not be installed on my laptop. The laptop is a new Dell with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor running Windows 11.

After extensive search on their web site, they will not offer anything other than cancelling the payment through my credit card. This was 4 days after the purchase, and the payment has already gone out.

They should warn customers about the compatibility issue before purchase, and they should refund the payment when an incompatible purchase is made in good faith.

Sales questions

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The company could have live agents or an active chat feature that works. I want to buy a package and talk to someone about what package is right for me, but no one is available.

Only robots, automated answering services, and AI chatbots. That is frustrating when I want to speak with a human.

Didn't authorize it for a yearly renewal on my malwarebytes. I canceled the subscription already

You charged my account almost $50 that I didn't authorize for a yearly renewal. I don't want to use your system anymore.

It doesn't work. Therefore, I did not authorize you to make a yearly renewal on my account. I want it returned to my account today. I can't even contact you, the way your system is set up, which only actually adds to the problem.

I can't even talk to customer service.

I won't recommend your company to anybody because of this. I would not recommend your company.

Billing $63.97 on 12/8 two months after I cancelled on 10/8 with help from VISA

I have called repeatedly but am unable to speak with a live person. I do not wish to either reinstate or renew this service, and I wish you would stop billing me for something I do not wish to continue.

A thing pops up saying website blocked due to riskware

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I TRIED TO CONTACT A LIVE PERSON AT MWB'S . NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN A CHAT OFFER .

AT ONE POINT I WOULD HAVE HAD TO GIVE MY CHARGE CARD AND A DOLLAR TO HOOK UP WITH SOMEONE TO ANSWER MY QUESTION. I THOUGHT I PAID MWB'S

FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. YOUR CHAT ROOM IS NOT AN ANSWER. IT SUCKS.

WITHOUT MLB'S I GET VERY FEW POP UP'S.

WITH MLB EVERY TIME I ACCESSED A SITE I GOT AT LEAST 4 TO 6 ADS. WTF .

THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION SHOULD BE MLB WILL GIVE LIVE HELP!!! GET WITH THE PROGRAM YOU ALL...

Where is my refund?

I spoke with an agent and he immediately solved my problem. He was terrific.

He quickly understood my dilemma. Quite honestly, I believe the fault may have been mine for not contacting an agent then and simply relying on email.
