just upgraded the rest of the PC's (3) in the house from v2 Premium to v3.
flawless, did everything as advertised (thank goodness), kept all the licensing, removed MBAE, Nortons happy.
yet to notice any downside, certainly no performance issues but with them all having SSD's, I didn't expect to.
anybody ditched their AV and solely running MBAM yet?

Some people did that years ago, even though it wasn't a recommendation back then.
I'm just using V3 as a free mode. No bells and whistles turned on. No auto-monitoring. I just use it like I did with free V1 version. I'm fine with that.
I do that also, on this old win xp computer. Seems to me that it uses a little less horsepower, and when I need to I can turn it on and use all the bells and whistles.
Edit: Also, fwiw, MBAM paid has never conflicted with Avast that I could tell.

Ooh, some of them answers are a bit whiffy
When Trump takes over MBAM and PC Pitstop, things will change.

It will be the greatest. Seriously, just the greatest

I don't user either one of them anymore. Gave up on PC Pitstop ages ago, but it was interesting learning that they're the ones making PCMatic (who by the way have a TV commercial in the U.S.A.) albeit I'll never use it.

I've not used PC Pitstop in years. Used to regularly use their pitstop scan thing, was signed up to their newsletter, regular on their forum, but the scanner and articles turned to s*** and they're just constantly pushing their crappy software. Unsubbed from their newsletter recently too as they're obsessed with trying to make ransomware the worlds scariest thing every single week

Ongoing thread on BleepingComputer about this.
It didn't help that using their PCmatic SuperShield an AV Comparatives test showed PCPitstop had better detection results than Malwarebytes (scroll down slightly for Oct detection rates)

And on a side note, seeing this all flare up I thought I’d see what the PC Pitstop scan was like now (having been a regular user for a long time years back). I think we can safely say they’ve abandoned it lol, don’t think it’s changed since I last used it a few years ago. Told me I had to defrag my drive (that’s my SSD drive!), and apparently I only have two processes running on my whole computer!!! I knew I ran a lean machine, but that was news to me

Two processes is so bloated, I'd shoot for just one process.

I'll get onto that as soon as my SSD has finished defragging
in case the free version users don't get notifications about updates, v3.0.6.1469 released this week; https://www.malwarebytes.com/
Has anyone else tried out Zemana Anti-Malware (Free)? When I used it it sort of reminds me of MBAM and Hitman Pro combined for what it does.
I use Zemana paid on 2 of my machines (one of them being XP)
I like it, and when there is a new build it has the fasted updater I have ever seen!
I think it was you Hazelnut that first clued me into it, then I forgot all about it only to rediscover it again via a YouTube reviewer using it in a test to eliminate malware.
If for whatever reason someone has issues using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (I certainly do, it doesn’t work correctly on my system anymore without having serious buggy issues) give Zemana AntiMalware a try.
