Finding a fraudulent email, message or website is becoming a part of everyday life, and artificial intelligence tools make it very easy to generate convincing texts for criminals to distribute en masse.
So if the bad guys use AI, why can’t the good guys do it? Luckily for us, Malwarebytes is now available for a quick and free consultation directly through ChatGPT.
There’s no need to hold your breath when you click on that link from what may or may not be your bank. Simply ask “Malwarebytes, is this a scam?” on ChatGPT and you will have your answer in seconds.
Don’t click, check it out!
Malwarebytes has been one of the best antivirus software options for many years; In my youth I turned to its malware removal capabilities many times in search of a free Runescape party hat (if you know it, you know it).
But now, many years later, attackers aren’t simply waiting for you to find their site unreliable and hand over your sensitive information. They are actively creating devious campaigns that can be sent directly to your phone or computer.
In fact, GASA’s 2025 Global State of Scam Report estimated that the global scam economy stole around $442 billion from consumers last year alone. So to fight the scourge of scams, why not have a fast, free and easy way to check suspicious messages in an AI tool that many people use every day?
“Cybersecurity should not be confusing or out of reach,” said Marcin Kleczynski, founder and CEO of Malwarebytes. “By bringing Malwarebytes’ threat expertise directly into ChatGPT, we meet people where they already are and provide them with instant, trusted guidance to make safer decisions online. The only way we can disrupt the nearly half-trillion-dollar scam industry is by being innovative and attacking the problem from all angles.”
Malwarebytes on ChatGPT can review text messages, emails, direct messages, suspicious links, domains, phone numbers, and more for authenticity, and prevent that single click from turning into a costly problem. You can even submit suspicious content directly to Malwarebytes to improve threat intelligence for everyone.
The new tool is available to ChatGPT Free, Plus, Team and Enterprise users by using the phrase “Malwarebytes, is this a scam?” directly in ChatGPT.
The best antivirus for all budgets
