They give you stickers! I've heard glowing reviews for it's ability to get rid of malware, but. The reviews are glowing.

That it's so supposedly loved trips my paranoia. So I looked into it and I found this one site which has lots of negative reviews that make me concerned.

Looking further into it, I found numerous horror stories of users' computers completely breaking after a use of the software. Basically: is Malwarebytes a scam, and what are the chances of me, a layman, accidentally deleting something critical with it? I have Windows 8.1. First of, as others have mentioned MBAM is NOT an AV software. It is for malware, etc. Removal and should NOT be used without a good AV software. I have used MBAM Pro for about 5 years now, and used the free version for about 3 years prior.
