Your anti-virus will identify the keygen as malware (false positive), but this is safe. I disabled my Avast for 10 mins while installing the software. After I finished installing Malwarebytes, I ran a quick scan and it identified two results with Riskware - one of which is the Hosts file. Which contains:
0.0.0.0 telemetry.malwarebytes.com
So that should tell you everything you need to know.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
It's like buying unwrapped condoms from Dave who sells them out back of the porn shop. If you want MWB Premium so bad, just shell out the cash for it. It's worth it.
they let you manual update and manual scan,
so it's all the automatic stuff that won't work
without an active status subscription.
honestly i don't see the point of this mega
you can just download it from the author,
and get the same functionality.
just a caution: on my win7 pc
the latest premium version is;
3.0.6.1469

The real-time protection is nice to have though
I've never had any problems with pirated software. I also don't download things without knowing what it is first ;)
edit: never thought I'd get downvotes for exmplifying that I know how to use a computer properly. First for everything here on the ol reddit, I 'spose ;)

Pirating windows 10 is fine, you still get all the updates as they come out xD

Some of us would love so but dont have money for it, so what you suggest in such situation, let urself infected knowingly by other viruses and stuff?

There's no reason to download this since you can get malwarebytes for free.
https://www.malwarebytes.com/products/
The only differences between the paid version and the free version is you get the option to schedule things (like scan every day or every week) and real-time web protection which you don't really need.
If there's two things you shouldn't use a pirated version of it's your OS and your antivirus. There's no good reason to get this when you can just get the free version of Avira, Avast!, or Malwarebytes. Not to mention Windows comes with Microsoft Security Essentials which is fine for most people.

I agree with you and /u/IgnoreMyName. In fact, I don't disagree with any of the comments in this thread. I think this is a healthy discussion -- and I hope those who download this file will read the comments section first.
There's no real reason for me to download Malwarebytes Premium, since I don't see a big difference. However, the premium version offers active scanning, which detects viruses before they execute. I can see that as being very useful for lots of people -- especially those who torrent (premium will filter IPs).

Also, you can get Win 10 free without using a key. You will get the "your Windows version isn't genuine" but, the OS works no different than if you paid for it. Just gotta deal with that notification every now and then.
Umm.. I don't think a cracked ANTIVIRUS is a good idea..
[-] ManeGarrincha | 2 points
Malwarebytes is
I agree with premise though. I have used the free version of Avast for years and that's been more than enough.
Why'd you say so?
[-] zachthemac | 18 points
You wouldn't pirate a condom would you ?
If you think paid anti-virus software is good enough over free options, that is arguably one of the things you should pay to support then...

Can we please stop referring to it as an antivirus program? This is
[-] Torschlusspaniker | 13 points
It is now. That used to be true. They now are recommending it as a standalone product
"With the launch of Malwarebytes 3.0, we are confident that you can finally replace your traditional antivirus"
The focus of their product is on behavior rather than signatures but since they are marketing it as an alternative to a standard signature based av I say it is an av now.
It has real time scanning, behavior analysis , some signature based detection and some anti-exploit tech I think it is now safe to call it an anti-virus or at least not have to do a double take when people call it one.
Also with the growing trend of polymorphic malware behavior based detection is becoming more and more important and something other av vendors have put more effort into detecting.
Malwarebytes also believes in a layered approach and coexisting so they still maintain compatibility with other security products. I don't think that detracts from its status as an av.
Also in the camp for not pirating anti-malware software.
[-] ManeGarrincha | 0 points
This is incorrect. It's still an anti-malware program, it's nowhere near a full fledged antivirus program -- a lot of people have misinterpreted what was initially said about Malwarebytes 3.0. In that quote above, it says it can "replace" your antivirus, but they do not make the claim that it is one.
I know you took that quote from their blog, but this is straight from their forums. And even better than that, here's a quote from one of the Admins on Malwarebytes 3.0:
I believe there's a bit of misinterpretation going on here that I'd like to clear up.
First off, Malwarebytes 3.0 is not an actual antivirus and we have never said that it was. | Megalinks MegaDB First off, Malwarebytes 3.0 is not an actual antivirus and we have never said that it was. What we did say and are continuing to say is that it can replace your antivirus software because our protection mechanisms (such as Malicious Website Blocking, Anti-Exploit and Anti-Ransomware) are more proficient at blocking/preventing infection when using the web than a traditional antivirus which relies mostly on signatures to attempt to detect and stop threats (the same signatures used for file scans, for example).
I, too, am in the camp for not pirating anti-malware software primarily because of the risk it poses. However, this was uploaded for those who want to go down that route -- and specifically for those who are interested in the active scanning feature.
[-] Torschlusspaniker | 4 points
Sorry but I must disagree with that. That is simply marketing. They are trying to put their product in a different category to highlight what their product does well. By the definition of an anti virus it is one. Nothing in the definition of an anti virus says it has to use purely signature based detection. Pretty much all av vendors could be classified as anti malware rather than av if you are trying to make a distinction since they don't only target file signatures​. It is a silly distinction that is somewhat disappointing to see them try to make.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Malware bytes is a duck.
We will have to agree to disagree on this definition.
[-] SkoomaIsaHellOfaDrug | -4 points
Sorry, but you are incorrect here. If you are running another 3rd party AV alongside MWB, all you're doing is needlessly slowing down your system.
Most people get by perfectly fine with MWB and windows defender/MSE. Any more than that is overkill.
edit: people down voting facts that they don't like. Down votes don't change anything, kids. Needlessly slow down your system if you want, I don't really care. I only have 20 years experience working in IT, no need to listen to what I say.
You're right. Hell, I didn't use antivirus for the longest time - Only run spybot everyone month or so now. Still haven't gotten a virus of any sort. Its necessity really correlates to how you surf the web i.e. if you like watching hentai bestiality porn, you might want to get an antivirus program.
Works for me. Thank you so much! I am very grateful and appreciative of your time.

Im surprised the MalwareBytes dev hasnt popped it.
What's his name? His reddit username, I mean.

[-] WrenchMonkey319 | 2 points
Yep
[-] IgnoreMyName | 2 points
I bought it. So worth it. Shuts down ads and websites as well along with scanning every file you download. Have it on 3 PCs, would recommend buying it as well to get proper support and updates.
Not trash talking OP or anything, just that I think this is one of those programs you should actually pay for. $35 for an entire year and peace of mind.

[-] giratina143 | 1 points
thank you!
edit: its not working, even after i do the pre activation, it still says 4 days left in premium, and key codes are not working
edit: did the whole process again, its working, thanks. BUT can i update this in the future or not? i switched off all auto update related features for good measure
[-] pictureofacat | 11 points
Switching off auto updates defeats the purpose of the software. Just download the legitimate free version to get the same utility. There's zero sense in pirating something like this
[-] cuddlychops06 | 1 points
Paging /u/mkleczynski
Thanks. Also I don't get why people of afraid of getting virues installing cracked software. I installed many cracked software and gotten 1 so far. Just reinstall your OS no big deal, especially if you want all your media on a seperate hd. Most viruses just intercept the main windows os

PIRATING AN ANTI-MALWARE PRODUCT

[-] Moonblink-XXII | 7 points | May 21 2017 13:17:40
Well, I got Malwarebytes 2.0 and the program itself is untouched (got it from official malwarebytes site) no keygens or some shit to crack it, just a patched license file with lifetime subscription then injected it. Been doing this for years and nothing is wrong. You could even do this yourself.
