It doesn't appear to offer any sort of real-time protection/preventative protection so it's mainly just a more robust version of the free tool with access to support tacked on. Apparently the paid version offers extended features such as automatic updates, more control over scan options, access to CLI functions and ticketed private support. Ive accidently clicked on shady sites and MB blockes them when a trojon or adware tries to load itself. I use win 10, and downloaded malwarebytes 4.1.2 but I cant active my premium account.
It was definitely a useful tool, especially when other tools would fail to run, but compared to Malwarebytes it is quite limited in its capabilities as I understand it. I'm not sure what the status of RogueKiller (the scanner) is these days, but based on what I know of it, it is just a basic scan/remediation tool based on what are essentially scripts/batch files using custom rolled defs made by the developer of the tool to target the threats he came across in his own research. Over time the scanner became pretty robust and eventually RogueKiller (again, the user who created the tool) was hired by Malwarebytes to work as a member of the Research team (this is not unlike how sUBs, developer of ComboFix also works for Malwarebytes as a member of Research). Malwarebytes detects and blocks more cyberthreats than any other product. RogueKiller (the user who created the tool) developed the application as a portable scanner designed to target difficult to remove infections, particularly those such as rogue/fake AVs known for blocking Malwarebytes and other security apps from running.
