When you’re setting up a new PC or looking for an app you already know, the Microsoft Store is often the easiest place to start. It’s built into Windows and lets you find, install, and update apps in one place. Malwarebytes for Windows is now available there too.
Malwarebytes for Windows is still available from our website and trusted partners. The Microsoft Store simply gives you another trusted way to get it.
If you’ve ever helped someone set up a new PC over the phone, you’ll know how much simpler it is to say, “Open the Microsoft Store, search for Malwarebytes, and click Get.” There are no web addresses to type, and no worrying whether you’ve landed on the right download page.
That’s important because cybercriminals use fake download pages and bogus security software to trick people into installing malware instead of the product they intended to download. Searching for Malwarebytes in the Microsoft Store gives you another straightforward way to make sure you are installing the genuine app.
The same Malwarebytes, now in the Microsoft Store
Installing Malwarebytes from the Microsoft Store gives you the same Malwarebytes for Windows you know and love, not a limited Store edition.
Some desktop apps available through app stores have fewer features or capabilities than versions downloaded directly from the developer. Malwarebytes is not one of them. You get the same real-time protection, the same Windows integration, and the same features. The Microsoft Store changes where the installation begins, not what the product can do.
That’s especially important for security software. Malwarebytes needs to run continuously in the background and work closely with Windows to help protect your PC. The Microsoft Store version isn’t a scanner-only companion app or a browser shortcut; it’s the full Malwarebytes for Windows.
No compromises. No missing features.
- The full Malwarebytes. You get the complete app, not a limited Store edition.
- The same protection. Real-time security and all the features you’d expect.
- Your choice of subscription. You’re not locked into Microsoft Store-only billing.
- Automatic updates. Malwarebytes continues to update seamlessly, just as it always has.
The Microsoft Store listing also gives you app information, screenshots, and another trusted place to install Malwarebytes.
