What an incredibly lame comparison!  The &quot;quick scan&quot; time comparison is useless as you don&#039;t list what files one software is scanning vs. the other.   Is Superantispyware scanning more files in its &quot;quick&quot; scan?  Maybe that&#039;s why it&#039;s slower.Furthermore you don&#039;t even do any comparisons on an infected machine.  Which anti-malware product cleans the most files?  Which has the most false positives?All you did was hand wave, make a couple of useless comparisons, and claim Malwarebytes your winner.Totally useless.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /> Wow.

Your comment will stay, but I will add my rebuttal right here before you go off and whine somewhere else and don&#039;t read this response.First, your statements are blatantly obvious, people are aware of my affiliations already.  If you can&#039;t tell that by my friendship with Marcin, the ads, and the fact I host the blog you&#039;re fooling yourself.  So that really holds no water here.Additionally, I would like to point out your product (in this part of the review) did in fact fall behind Malwarebytes.  I didn&#039;t fake those numbers.  Nor did I lie about the way I felt when using the application.Why don&#039;t you wait for part two when I test out both applications with live malware infections.  Who knows, your program may win that round and if it does, I will be sure to let everyone know.I should also note, didn&#039;t your company email me trying to win me over by offering me free software?  I&#039;m sure Mike knew about my affiliations when he emailed me.  If you want to play dirty - I can play that game on a personal level.  However, I will not fake, lie, or create falsities to make things turn out the way I want.Perhaps you should stop whining and take what I said into consideration as opposed to thinking I&#039;m doing it to hurt your product.  If you can&#039;t take constructive criticism get off the Internet.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /> Nick,</p><p>You don&#8217;t seem to understand how my site works.

You SELL and MAKE MONEY off of MalwareBytes - you have their banners splattered all over your site. You host their BLOG and are personal friends with MalwareBytes.Example : Why don&#039;t you try a USERINIT.EXE infection that overwrites the Windows Userinit.exe and see if Malwarebytes can fix it, the answer is &quot;NO&quot; - and SUPERAntiSpyware WILL fix it.SUPERAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes are an excellent combination of products and together they get rid of just about any infection - they are both excellent compliments to an anti-virus package and should be used together.For an 18 year old, Marcin has done a great job - they have a very nice product - but before you do a one-sided biased review, you should let users know that you SELL and PROFIT from people downloading MalwareBytes.FYI : I assume you will remove this post, so I will copy it and post on a blog that you don&#039;t have editorial control over. :)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- google_ad_section_start --><br /> You are joking right?
