This bit at the top of their EULA has always gave me great pause and why I've never used it at work:
Subject to the restrictions below, you may use the Malwarebytes' Software for any legitimate purpose. In return, we simply require that you agree: 1. Not to use this software for commercial use without proper licensing. This is from the download offered both directly from their site and the vipre.malwarebytes.org, both version 1.45.

MalwareBytes has always been free, but they also have had the option to pay for additional features. This will probably not change with this partnership. Jay Dale I.T.

Isn't Malwarebytes for scanning/cleaning already free? Is there any functionality here that wasn't easily possible before? Looks like not much more than a marketing/advertising partnership.

Does anyone know if the Malware Bytes download referenced on that page is truly free for all to use like VIPRE Rescue is? I'm specifically interested in corporate/business use.
