If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re facing a Malwarebytes issue—maybe your subscription isn’t activating, or you’ve spotted something strange on your device. Either way, you’re likely asking the golden question:
“How do I contact Malwarebytes customer service?”
Don’t worry. You’re not alone—and the good news? There are several fast and easy ways to reach Malwarebytes Customer Service. This guide will break it all down for you in a super simple way (no tech jargon, promise!). You’ll walk away knowing exactly what to do, with direct links, phone options (if available), and even smarter ways to get faster help.
Let’s dive in!
Alright, let’s tackle the most asked question first: “Is there a phone number I can call to talk to someone at Malwarebytes?”
The honest truth is—Malwarebytes does not offer a public customer service phone number for general support. And before you get annoyed (understandably!), here’s why they do it that way:
Malwarebytes handles most support requests through online channels like email, support tickets, and their community forums. This allows them to offer faster, more accurate help without long hold times or phone queues.
But don’t worry, that doesn’t mean you’re stuck.
Instead of searching endlessly for a phone number, use Malwarebytes’ official support request page here:
👉 https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us
Once there, you can submit a request based on your issue, and the team usually responds within 24–48 hours (often faster if you're a Premium customer!).
Great news—if you’re a Malwarebytes Premium or Business user, you do get access to live chat support.
This is the closest you’ll get to talking to someone "on the phone"—but better, since you won’t be stuck waiting on hold. The chat support is available during business hours (usually 9am–5pm PST).
To access it:
Go to the Help section within your Malwarebytes app.
Click Support > Contact Us > Live Chat.
If you have an active Premium subscription, always use the Live Chat first—it’s faster and more interactive than email.
If your issue isn't time-sensitive—like needing help resetting a password, canceling a subscription, or understanding a charge—then the Malwarebytes support ticket system is perfect.
You'll:
Choose your issue type (billing, tech support, general)
Describe your problem
Attach any screenshots or logs
Then, boom—you’re in their support queue.
They usually reply via email within 1–2 business days. Keep an eye on your inbox and check your spam folder, just in case.
Here’s the direct link to submit a ticket:
👉 https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Pro tip: The more details you give, the faster the fix.
Malwarebytes has a pretty active user community, where both users and official staff answer questions. Think of it as a tech support forum with less fluff and more actual help.
Just search your problem (e.g. “Malwarebytes not starting on Windows 11”) and you’ll likely find:
Troubleshooting steps
Fixes shared by users
Official replies from Malwarebytes staff
It’s especially useful for common technical bugs or update issues.

Requesting a refund

This area is well organized and updated frequently.

For business, enterprise, or MSP customers, Malwarebytes offers a separate support experience, including:

Make sure you're signed in with your business account to access these options.
Business users can access support here:

Let’s wrap it up with a quick cheat sheet:
