Malware Scanning

13/5/2025

Has your phone suddenly become a battery-guzzling sloth? Is your laptop's fan whirring like a jet engine for no apparent reason? Is everything S L O W?  Subtle shifts in your device's performance or behavior could be silent red flags so it may be time to do some scanning for Malware. There are many virus companies that provide great antivirus protection but Malware is a slightly different kettle of fish that is better found using specialist software like my favourite - Malwarebytes.

Think of Malwarebytes as a smart guard for your devices.

Malwarebytes learns what normal activity looks like on your phone or computer. If a program starts acting strangely – using lots of internet when you're not using it, or opening on its own – Malwarebytes can notice this unusual behavior. It's like a security guard spotting someone acting suspiciously.

Malwarebytes also looks at the files on your device. It knows what healthy files usually look like. If it finds a file with weird characteristics that match known bad files, it gets suspicious.

This program also watches your internet connections. If your device tries to connect to websites known for spreading malware, Malwarebytes can block it.

So, if your device is acting weird, running a scan with Malwarebytes can help find and remove these problems. It's like having a smart detective look for and get rid of any unwanted guests on your phone or computer. Just remember to keep Malwarebytes updated so it can recognize the newest threats.
​

Try it for free and see how you like it. I like the peace of mind it gives me, especially if I’ve just accidentally clicked something I shouldn’t have.
