Think of Malwarebytes as a real-time security assistant. Instead of digging through forums or relying on scam-checking sites, you can run quick safety assessments directly in ChatGPT. The integration provides scam and threat verdicts, with cybersecurity data pulled from Malwarebytes' continuously updated "threat intelligence" database.

Can Malwarebytes check emails and numbers, not just links?

Yes. You can simply ask Malwarebytes if a phone number or email address is legit, as well as websites.

Good times to use Malwarebytes in ChatGPT:

• Before clicking unfamiliar links in emails or texts.
• When someone sends an unexpected payment request.
• When an email claims your account is "locked," or a payment couldn't be processed.
• When a message feels overly urgent or starts asking for personal information.

Even if Malwarebytes doesn't match it to scams in its threat intelligence database, it can use other context clues to provide a risk verdict and guidance on what you should do next.

Can Malwarebytes detect malware?

It can flag malware risks and malicious domains, but it doesn't replace antivirus software on your device.
