This is one of my favorite websites by far. It's a great site to keep up on technology news and reviews. Their reviews are unbiased and for the most part, spot on. It's updated very frequently, which keeps me coming back everyday. A little overwhelming with the CES coverage, but still a great site to past the time and learn something new.
If you love tech and gadgets, you'll love Engadget!
I've noticed there's a good amount of misinformation on this website. (sitejabber) If you don't know, don't spout out false information, you'll end up confusing people.
Anyways, Malwarebytes is a great bit of spyware, adware, malware, etc removal software. It is not an anti-virus program and does not provide real time protection. You actually run at a higher risk by not having real time protection. And no, it will not compete with other removal software like stated above. You're thinking of anti-virus software. (AVG, Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, Avast, etc)
Malwarebytes is quick to install and is actually really quick when you perform a quick scan. It does find quite a bit of infections, however it does not fix everything. I've had quite a few cases where Malwarebytes, by itself, could not remove an infection. Though these computers were badly infected and required a multitude of software to clean everything. However, because it is a quick program to run, I usually install and run this program first, in my cleanup process.
This is a must have program for anyone that needs to clean their system, and of course for any computer technician. If anyone has any questions, feel free to comment on this review.
Jacob - Thanks for clearing up any confusion!
I didn't know all this. It's very helpful. If I use Malwarebytes what other anti-virus or security software would you recommend for me?
Thank you!! =)

Just a couple of points:
1. The paid version does offer real-time protection.
2. In combination with other anti-malware/virus programs it is very useful.
