Malwarebytes is not a replacement for Kaspersky. It is a special product that adds more protection and is designed to work with Kaspersky and other products.

I bought 5 licenses for MalwareBytes a few months ago for $18 and it was well worth it! I use MalWareBytes to clean up PC's if something gets past the AV. Good product and very reasonably priced!

also did you know each license has a lifetime upgrade as long as it is used for a home user

 

[quickslvr]

does it need if i have kaspersky 2013 and upd?ated

 

[azasadny]

MalwareBytes is NOT AV, it complements AV, so it is used in addition to AV. I use it along with Windows Defender/Microsoft Security Essentials and I've been very happy with it, from an effectiveness and performance perspective.
