I was just wondering how many of you use Malwarebytes? I've heard many good things about it, being used along with other anti-virus software. I tried it not that long ago and it found tons of PUP's, I removed them all and rebooted as asked but I'm pretty sure it did something that result in my windows 8.1 account breaking, I wasn't able to login to it and if I did, it would just create a temporary account... I fixed it by system restoring.

Has anyone else had problems like this or is it just me? I was using it as I'm pretty sure I've got a virus on my computer somewhere but my new anti-virus software "bitdefender" can't find it.
 
It's now up to Version 3.0 and you don't need an Antivirus to run with it. It runs very well finally , first few 3.0 releases were buggy.
