Malwarebytes for Windows

Malwarebytes is a powerful antivirus suite designed to find and neutralize malicious software that appears on computer hard drives, external drives, or on the internal and external memory of smartphones and tablets.

As the developers suggest, the viruses, trojans and spyware found are not only cleaned, but also sent for analysis to prevent and search for vulnerabilities. The development of Malwarebytes has been going on since 2008 and since the trial release, the available functionality has changed significantly: there was also support for scanning hard drives on a schedule, and filtering web traffic and protecting confidential information in real time.

Malwarebytes functionality

• The Malwarebytes content is diverse: the developers allow the use of both antivirus and antispyware modules, as well as an anti-rootkit and a special blocking of ads and malicious resources;
• Updating signatures in the anti-virus complex is carried out in a semi-automatic and exclusively background mode: you will not have to monitor the download;
• The premium version of Malwarebytes provides additional scenarios: scanning the RAM and startup objects, examining downloaded files in preload mode, scanning the launched software and those files that the software accesses at startup (if Malwarebytes Anti-Malware notices an attempt to interfere in the operating system settings, the launch of programs will be automatically prohibited);
• The interface of the tool has long been translated into Russian, however, even without translation, it is easy to understand each of the actions thanks to tooltips and visual icons;
• On mobile platforms, Malwarebytes is slightly more limited, but even then, the protection is advanced, and therefore really saves you from unexpected situations.
