Malwarebytes Personal Data Remover review
A deep dive into the Malwarebytes Personal Data Remover, covering its features, pros, cons, and other factors to help you decide whether it’s your best choice.
Malwarebytes, a cybersecurity software, offers a tool called Personal Data Remover to help users remove their personal data from the web. This tool is integrated into their Ultimate plan, which costs $140 per year when discounted. The plan includes antivirus protection, a VPN, and identity protection for up to 3 devices. The tool scans for personal data on people-finder sites and sends deletion requests for users in the U.S. However, it does not support manual deletion requests or global coverage.
The setup process is straightforward, requiring users to activate their subscription and sign in to the Secure Hub page to begin the scan. The scan can take several days and covers over 100 people-finder sites. Once the scan is complete, users receive alerts to take further action. While Malwarebytes’ Personal Data Remover has its pros, such as being part of a comprehensive cybersecurity suite, it has drawbacks, including limited manual request support and non-U.S. coverage.
