About Malwarebytes

Malwarebytes is a cybersecurity company known for its anti-malware and endpoint protection products that help protect computers and mobile devices from viruses, ransomware, spyware, and other online threats. Its offerings include Malwarebytes Premium for home users, as well as advanced endpoint protection and incident response solutions for businesses. Customers typically purchase and manage licenses through malwarebytes.com, where they can download software, activate subscriptions, and manage their accounts.

A charge labeled “CBI*MALWAREBYTES.COM” on your card statement usually indicates a purchase or renewal of a Malwarebytes subscription, such as Malwarebytes Premium or a multi-device license. It may also represent a business license purchase, an automatic renewal, or a free-trial conversion to a paid plan. The “CBI*” and the Chicago, IL reference are related to the payment processor or billing entity, while the actual merchant is Malwarebytes.

If you don’t recognize the charge, first log into your Malwarebytes account at my.malwarebytes.com (or check the email used at purchase) to review your subscriptions, invoices, and renewal dates. Look for order confirmation emails from Malwarebytes or its billing partners. If you still have questions, you can contact Malwarebytes support through their official support portal, where you can submit a ticket or use self-service options to manage or cancel subscriptions, request refunds (when eligible), and resolve duplicate or unauthorized charges.

How can I request a refund for a Malwarebytes charge?

To request a refund, visit support.malwarebytes.com, submit a support ticket including your order number, purchase email, and the last four digits of the card charged, and explain the reason for the request. Support will review eligibility under their current refund policy.

Why did Malwarebytes charge me again when I thought my subscription was a one-time purchase?

Most current Malwarebytes consumer plans are subscription-based and renew automatically at the end of each term (monthly or annually). If you did not turn off auto-renewal, the system will bill the payment method on file. You can check and change your renewal settings in your Malwarebytes account dashboard.

Are there small or temporary Malwarebytes charges that might appear as pending on my account?

In some cases, Malwarebytes or its billing processor may place a temporary authorization hold to verify your payment method, especially during an initial purchase or when updating card details. These pending amounts typically disappear within a few business days and are not finalized charges.

How do I contact Malwarebytes about an unrecognized or fraudulent charge?

Go to support.malwarebytes.com and submit a billing or account support ticket. Include the descriptor (CBI*MALWAREBYTES.COM), the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of your card. If you suspect fraud, also contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge and secure your account.

Can I change the number of devices or plan type associated with my Malwarebytes subscription?

Yes. From your Malwarebytes account at my.malwarebytes.com, you can manage licenses and, in many cases, upgrade to a plan that supports more devices or additional features. If you need to downgrade or make more complex changes, contact Malwarebytes support for assistance and clarification on any pricing differences or pro-rated charges.
