Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) is certainly one of the most valid and reliable programs for computer security, effective in finding and above all in removing malware, even the most hidden, even potential ones.
Although there are numerous alternatives, Malwarebytes is the number one among the best anti-malware programs, even in its free version which is the one that interests us most in this context.
Malwarebytes Antimalware 4 is the new version of the product that is now offered both as a commercial paid solution for complete PC protection, excellent for replacing any antivirus, and also in a free version to be used as an antivirus scanner .
Given the occasion of the release of this new version, I really recommend everyone to take advantage of the moment, download Malwarebytes 4 now and clean your computer from any hidden or potential virus and malware .
After downloading and installing Malwarebytes 4 (MBAM) on PC Windows Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 (it does not work on previous versions such as Vista and XP) you will find the possibility to choose between the paid and the free version. The free version only includes antimalware scans, which is the strength, the main function and the best feature of this security tool. Even choosing the free version you can take advantage of a 15-day trial period of the Premium version. Real-time protection can therefore be activated (in this case Malwarebytes is set as the PC's antivirus, deactivating any antivirus already installed or Windows Defender).
Before starting the scan, you should open the Settings by pressing the gear button in the upper right corner. In the settings, on the Security tab, you can disable the automatic launch when Windows starts (useless if it does not have the Premium version) and instead activate the option to scan for rootkits . In the General tab, however, you can disable the usage statistics option to prevent the company from collecting data from our PC. All other options can only be activated with the Premium version.
Note that Malwarebytes Antimalware also works as Anti-Exploit (against 0-day attacks, that is, which exploit security bugs that are still not correct) and as anti-ransomware and that in its scan uses artificial intelligence to identify harmful or potentially harmful elements harmful.
Unfortunately In Malwarebytes 4 the possibility of being able to program automatic scans to be done every month in the free version has been removed, therefore it will be necessary to remember, occasionally, to do a manual check. The scan is quite rapid and manages to detect and remove any threat, even minor or unknown or only potential, without false positives and with surgical precision.
MBAM is still the most effective scan tool to get rid of all types of viruses on the PC, even the most hidden ones, even those that normal antivirus cannot find.
In MalwareBytes 4, even in the free version, updates are automatic.
The new Malwarebytes interface shows the Scan button in the center and then the real-time protection tools that can only be activated with the premium version. These include " Web Protection ", " Malware Protection ", " Ransomware Protection " and " Exploit Protection ".
Pressing the button to scan the PC starts the check directly to detect malware and viruses with the default settings. If instead of pressing the blue button you click on Scan service, you can then use the custom scan options by pressing on Advanced scanners . Subsequently, by clicking on Configure Scan, you can exclude disks and folders from the check, activate the antirootkit check and choose how the program should behave in case of detection of unwanted programs and unwanted changes.
After a scan or from the Scans tab you can see the reports with the results of the infections found. Malwarebytes, for any security problem discovered, allows you to quarantine infected files. In the report you can click on the various elements to open the web page explaining the problem. On the Malwarebytes website you can see what the most common threats are.
Malwarebytes 4 has been greatly simplified compared to previous versions, although its memory usage during use is quite high on the PC. Even with the new version, Malwarebytes Antimalware 4 remains the best in its category, especially for its ability to scan for malicious elements that is free forever and without limitations.
