Malwarebytes 5.1.2.88 for PC

Download

Malwarebytes 4 is the next-gen security program that protects you from the most advanced (zero-day) threats, making antivirus obsolete. Malwarebytes 4 combines all of our malware-fighting technology---anti-malware, anti-ransomware, anti-exploit, and malicious website protection into one program that scans 4x faster than previous versions of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium.

What makes Malwarebytes different from other anti-malware programs?

Malwarebytes offers most of the functionality found in traditional antivirus programs in addition to ransomware protection, anti-exploit technology, and machine learning to create a protection solution with a much wider scope of action.

Is Malwarebytes an antivirus replacement?

Malwarebytes Free is not an effective replacement for a traditional antivirus because it does not offer real-time protection. The paid-for version of the program called Malwarebytes Premium is highly recommended and does offer real-time protection and monitoring and can be used to replace an antivirus application.

What are the main differences between Malwarebytes Free and Premium?

The most important difference is that Malwarebytes Premium adds real-time protection, which is the most effective way of preventing infection. Malwarebytes Free is a good companion (to the free Windows Defender) to scan and eliminate threats found, but this has to be done manually. Malwarebytes Premium also comes with a browser guard not found in the free version. As of writing, Premium costs $39.99 for an annual subscription.
