Like antivirus, but smart.
Traditional antivirus fails because it slows to respond to new threats. Well, because it's "dumb." We use layers of technology such as exception detection (a cool kind of artificial intelligence), behavior matching, and application hardening to crush previously unseen malware. Okay, so not quite like a traditional antivirus.

- Infected? We’ve got your back: This technology not only stops hackers and malware, but it cleans a better-infected machine than traditional antivirus. In fact, our technology has achieved the only "spotless" cleaning score from the people at AV-TEST.org.

Shuts down attacks from every angle
Visiting an infected site, getting a cheat call, clicking a malicious link - these are just some of the ways you can hack. We turn off these attack vectors and new ones when popping up. The bad guys can't even find a way whether you're on Windows, Mac or Android.

- C|NET REVIEW
- Malwarebytes 3.0 was a significant update when it arrived in December 2016 - and like many major updates, some aspects were slightly rough, especially stability within Windows 10. With version 3.2, the company claims it has fixed some major issues, so here's a look at how this update gets organized.
- [accordion]
- PROS
- This is stable in Windows 10: With version 3.0, some users (including us C|NET) experienced seemingly random blue screen errors in Windows 10 unless we disabled most or all of Malwarebytes' active scanning functions. As a result, there was little to differentiate between the paid version and the free version. However, we can report that we did not see any BSODs in Windows 10 during our 3.2 test. It was the only issue we saw in version 3.0, so handling it returns Malwarebytes to "recommended" mode.
The crawl engine remains high-quality: During the tests, the app's malware scanner has collected some files and a registry entry that remains of the allegedly incomplete third-party driver management tool, which Malwarebytes says may have potential. Unwanted Program (PUP). Malwarebytes by default put these files in quarantine instead of deleting them. This is actually the preferred reflex since PUPs are not necessarily harmful and removing them can disable the program they came with. In general, Malwarebytes scanning technology is favorably rated by independent testers, such as West Coast Labs and Google's VirusTotal service, and it fosters a reputation for failing to disable your PC.
Detailed explanations and simple English: While other security vendors tend to sound terminology, Malwarebytes is good at telling you exactly what a given feature does. Take, for example, the "Usage and Threat Statistics" situation. It covers the anonymous usage data it collects. In its description, Malwarebytes lists basic things like, how many people run the free, trial and subscription versions? Where is Malwarebytes used worldwide? Which malware is detected the most, and how often?
Its full privacy policy even includes detailed and abstract explanations side by side. This kind of transparency about your data - and their limited intent - is good to have, and it's not as common in the security industry as it should be. - DISADVANTAGES
- Independent Labs Limited Tests: The company claims that the average "zero-day" malware (the kind that is too new to be detected/removed) has only a 55 percent detection rate, which can make a given application against software programs look worse than this When given a barrage of zero-day infections during testing. Therefore, Malwarebytes does not submit its applications to the full gloves provided by AV-Test and AV-Comparatives, the tests of which are specifically concerned with zero-day security. However, if Malwarebytes wants to recognize its competition, we argue that it needs to submit its apps to the same rigorous standards as competition, even if these standards can create perception issues.
- BOTTOM LINE
- Now that Malwarebytes seems to have fixed its stability issues in version 3.2, the user experience is nicely rounded. However, we would like to see Malwarebytes move on to the gloves set up by AV-Comparatives and AV-Test to get a better picture of how it faces competition.
