Malwarebytes has appointed Michael Weissman, CEO of Netspend, to its board of directors and hired Joey Klein as senior vice president of product. The moves reflect the cybersecurity company's evolution into a comprehensive digital life protection platform.

Klein joins from Hippo Insurance and Green Chef, where he scaled consumer subscription businesses. He previously led social and mobile game teams at Disney. The appointments come as Malwarebytes experiences record growth amid rising AI-enabled scams and identity fraud. CEO Marcin Kleczynski said the company recognised years ago that protecting consumers requires more than stopping malware, prompting expansion into scam and identity protection services.

Malwarebytes subscriptions available through Tech This, LLC. Cybersecurity should not be confusing, intimidating, or something you only think about after your computer is already infected.

That is why Tech This, LLC is excited to share that Tech This, LLC is partnered with Malwarebytes through Malwarebytes Techbench Advanced. This means customers can purchase Malwarebytes subscriptions and subsequent renewals directly through Tech This, LLC for the same price as buying directly from Malwarebytes, while also supporting a small local technology business right here in Boone County. Why Malwarebytes? Malwarebytes has built a strong reputation as one of the most recognized names in malware protection, online threat defense, and computer security. Its consumer cybersecurity software is designed to protect against threats such as malware, ransomware, malicious websites, scams, and other online risks. For many home users and small business users, the appeal is simple: Malwarebytes is powerful without feeling overly complicated. It helps protect against: * Malware * Ransomware * Malicious websites * Online scams * Potentially unwanted programs * Exploits * Browser-based threats Malwarebytes also offers tools like Browser Guard, which helps block malicious sites, phishing scams, trackers, ads, and other unwanted web content. Why Tech This partners with Malwarebytes. Tech This, LLC do not partner with cybersecurity companies lightly. At Tech This, LLC, Tech This, LLC personally use both Bitdefender and Malwarebytes. That real-world use matters. Tech This, LLC is not recommending software just because it has a logo, a reseller program, or a sales pitch attached to it. Bitdefender and Malwarebytes each serve a valuable role in the cybersecurity space, and both are part of why Tech This, LLC has chosen to become a partner. Its goal is not to push software just for the sake of selling software. Its goal is to help customers make smart, practical decisions about protecting their devices, files, and personal information. What is Malwarebytes Techbench Advanced? Malwarebytes Techbench is a reseller program built specifically for computer repair shops. It gives professional repair businesses access to Malwarebytes tools and licensing options that help make repairs, cleanups, and customer protection easier to manage. For Tech This, LLC customers, this partnership means: * You can purchase Malwarebytes through a trusted local repair shop * You can then renew your Malwarebytes subscription through Tech This, LLC * You can get help choosing the right Malwarebytes plan * You can support a small local business without paying extra * You have a local point of contact when you have questions or need support That last point matters. Buying cybersecurity software online is easy. Knowing what you bought, whether it is the right fit, how to install it, and what to do when something feels wrong is where many people get stuck. That is where Tech This, LLC can help. Same Malwarebytes price, local tech support connection. One of the best parts of this partnership is that customers can purchase Malwarebytes subscriptions and renewals through Tech This, LLC for the same price as buying directly from Malwarebytes. So instead of purchasing from a large national company and trying to figure everything out on your own or through vast support libraries, you can buy through Tech This, LLC and support a local business at no additional cost. You still get Malwarebytes protection. You still get official Malwarebytes licensing. You still pay the same price. But you also help support a local technology company that is here when you need computer repair, malware cleanup, security guidance, or general tech support. Why cybersecurity software still matters. Some people assume they do not need additional security software because their computer already includes built-in protection. Built-in tools are helpful, but modern threats are constantly changing. Cybercriminals use fake websites, phishing emails, scam pop-ups, malicious downloads, infected ads, and social engineering tactics to trick users into clicking the wrong thing. Malwarebytes reports protection against large volumes of malware, malicious websites, ransomware, exploits, and potentially unwanted programs across its user base. Cybersecurity is no longer just about stopping traditional viruses. It is about protecting your computer, your accounts, your identity, your files, and your peace of mind. Malwarebytes is built for real-world threats. One reason Malwarebytes stands out is its focus on threats people actually encounter in daily computer use. That includes: * Fake virus warnings * Browser hijackers * Suspicious downloads * Tech support scams * Malicious links * Ransomware attempts * Unwanted programs bundled with free software * Scam websites pretending to be legitimate companies These are exactly the kinds of issues Tech This, LLC frequently see in real repair situations. A customer may not come in saying, "I have malware." More often, they say: * "My computer is acting weird." * "I keep getting pop-ups." * "My browser changed." * "I clicked something and now I'm worried." * "My computer is suddenly slow." * "I got a warning that said to call a number." Malwarebytes is designed to help defend against many of those real-world threats. Independent recognition and testing. No security software is perfect, and no single product can guarantee complete protection. That is why independent testing and industry recognition matter. In AV-Comparatives' 2025 Summary Report, Malwarebytes earned two Advanced Awards and one Standard Award, with the report noting its clean and intuitive interface and focus on simplicity and ease of use. That matters because the best security software is not just the one with the most features. It is the one people will actually use correctly. For many customers, simple and understandable protection is better than complicated software they ignore, disable, or never update. Malwarebytes is helpful, but it is not a substitute for smart habits. Even strong cybersecurity software cannot protect you from every possible risk. Good security also depends on smart habits, including: * Keeping Windows and software updated * Using strong, unique passwords * Turning on multi-factor authentication * Avoiding suspicious links and attachments * Being careful with remote access requests * Backing up important files * Questioning pop-ups that demand immediate action * Calling a trusted technician before giving anyone access to your computer At Tech This, Tech This, LLC believe education is part of cybersecurity. Tech This, LLC do not just want to sell you software. Tech This, LLC want you to understand how to stay safer. Who should consider Malwarebytes? Malwarebytes may be a good fit if you: * Want additional protection beyond basic built-in security * Have dealt with malware or pop-ups before * Want protection against malicious websites and scams * Need security software that is easy to understand * Want help from a local technology company * Prefer to support a small business when buying software * Want a trusted tool recommended by the same shop that repairs your computer It can be especially useful for home users, remote workers, students, retirees, and small business owners who rely on their computers every day. Can Tech This, LLC help install Malwarebytes? Tech This, LLC can help with: * Malwarebytes subscription purchases * Subsequent Malwarebytes renewals * Installation * Basic setup * Malware scans * Security reviews * Malware cleanup * Computer tune-ups * Guidance on whether Malwarebytes is the right fit for your device If your computer is already infected or acting suspiciously, Tech This, LLC recommend having the system checked before assuming a new subscription alone will solve the issue. Security software is important, but an already-compromised computer may need professional cleanup first. Malwarebytes and Bitdefender: why Tech This, LLC use both. Tech This, LLC partners with both Malwarebytes and Bitdefender because both are respected cybersecurity tools with different strengths. Personally, Tech This, LLC use both. That does not mean every customer needs both products in every situation. It means its recommendations are based on real use, practical experience, and what makes sense for the customer. Sometimes the right answer is Malwarebytes. Sometimes the right answer is Bitdefender. Sometimes the right answer is improving passwords, backups, updates, and habits before adding more software. Its role is to help you make the right choice, not pressure you into the most expensive one. Buy and renew Malwarebytes subscriptions with Tech This, LLC.
