Have you been thinking about switching over to Chromebook because you don\u2019t need all the built-in software programs of a PC or the sleek design of a Mac? Or perhaps you\u2019ve already made the jump because Chromebooks are so much cheaper than a Windows or Mac system. Either way, did you worry that you would miss using Malwarebytes? You no longer need to be afraid!<\/p>\n

Malwarebytes for Chromebook<\/h3>\n

We are proud to present to you Malwarebytes for Chromebook. In Malwarebytes\u2019 quest for a malware-free existence, we want to provide security for as many computers, devices, and endpoints as possible. Offering a product that protects and cleans Chromebooks from malware<\/a><\/u> is only a natural next step in that process.<\/p>\n

\"Chromebook<\/a><\/p>\n

Chromebooks are up and coming in the market due to their lower production costs associated with a reduced need for top-of-the-line hardware. (Translation: They\u2019re much cheaper than other computers.) Chromebooks store their data in the cloud<\/a><\/u> so they don\u2019t need big, fast hard drives. And since you can\u2019t run any heavy games on them, they don\u2019t need a fast CPU or a heavy duty graphics card either\u2014which means they likely won\u2019t be targets for malicious cryptomining. Bonus!<\/p>\n

Chromebooks are also user friendly. If you can use a browser, you can use a Chromebook, so to speak. This makes them a good choice for people that have only just started using computers, like school-age children and other computer beginners with more experience in life. But they also make for a good alternative to expensive laptops used in the workplace. If employees rely heavily on the cloud or use only web-based apps anyway, it makes sense to save costs and make the switch.<\/p>\n

What is Malwarebytes for Chromebook?<\/h3>\n

Malwarebytes for Chromebook offers Chromebook users protection by blocking scams, protecting your privacy, and scanning for malware. It\u2019s capable of detecting threats such as ransomware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), and adware. Your Chromebook is protected by design against the regular threats that face Windows and Mac users, but it is susceptible to the same threats as Android systems. And that is where Malwarebytes for Chromebook can help you.<\/p>\n

Why do you need Malwarebytes for Chromebook?<\/h3>\n

Even though Chromebooks come with some built-in defense mechanisms like sandboxing and verified boot and recovery mode, they can still get infected. Malwarebytes for Chromebook does not slow down your lean, mean Chromebook machine. It does stand guard over your privacy and data security while protecting you against ransomware, adware, and other modern-day malware.<\/p>\n
