In today's digital age, online threats are becoming more sophisticated and harder to detect. Malware, viruses, adware, spyware, Trojans and other malicious software can cause serious damage to your computer system and compromise your personal data. That's why it's essential to have a reliable security software that can protect you from these threats.

Introducing Malwarebytes 4 - the latest version of the popular security software that has been trusted by millions of users worldwide. With its advanced features and powerful protection capabilities, Malwarebytes 4 is smarter, faster and lighter than ever before.

What is Malwarebytes?

Malwarebytes is a comprehensive security software that provides real-time protection against malware and other online threats. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to detect emerging threats that traditional antivirus programs may miss.

Malwarebytes offers both free and premium versions of its software. The free version allows you to manually scan your PC for infections after an attack has occurred. The premium version provides real-time protection that actively prevents infections from occurring in the first place.

What Does Malwarebytes 4 Do For You?

Cleans Your PC in Just a Few Minutes

One of the key features of Malwarebytes is its ability to clean your PC in just a few minutes. Its free scanner not only finds malware and viruses but also potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that can slow down your computer system.

Secures Your PC, Files And Privacy 24/7

With real-time protection powered by AI technology, Malwarebytes keeps you safe from online threats around-the-clock - even emerging ones no one has seen before! This means you can browse the web with confidence knowing that your personal data is protected at all times.

Protects Against Online Scammers

Web Protection blocks online scams such as infected sites or malicious links while also blocking phishing scams which use fake sites to trick you into revealing private information like bank details or passwords.

Stops Your Files From Being Held For Ransom

Ransomeware Protection uses proprietary technology designed specifically for creating a powerful defense against malware attacks which lock down your computer system while holding files hostage until payment demands are met.

Respects Your Space

Scans now use up to 50% less CPU resources than previous versions making it easier on older systems or those with limited processing power while Play Mode allows users who enjoy gaming or watching movies uninterrupted without notifications popping up during their activity time!

Makes Security Simple

The all-new user interface makes customizing protection easier than ever before! Schedule scans when it suits you best; adjust layers according to preference; choose between three different scan modes depending on what type of threat detection suits best!

Review

Malwarebytes 3.0 was a major update when it arrived in December 2016 -- and like many major updates, some aspects were a little rough, particularly stability within Windows 10. With version 3.2, the company claims it has corrected some major issues, so let's take a look at how this revision stacks up.

Pros

It's stable in Windows 10: With version 3.0, some users (us included) experienced seemingly random blue-screen errors in Windows 10 unless we disabled most or all of Malwarebytes' active scanning functions. As a result, there wasn't a lot to distinguish the paid version from the free one. However, we can report that we didn't see any BSODs in Windows 10 during our testing of 3.2. This was the only truly major issue we saw in version 3.0, so addressing it brings Malwarebytes back up to "recommended" status.

The scanning engine remains high-quality: During our tests, the app's malware scanner picked up some files and a Registry entry left over from an apparently incomplete uninstallation of a third-party driver management utility that, according to Malwarebytes, may have bundled a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Malwarebytes defaulted to placing these files in quarantine rather than deleting them. This is actually the preferred reflex, since PUPs aren't necessarily harmful, and extracting them can disable the program that they came with. Generally speaking, Malwarebytes' scanning tech is rated favorably by independent testers, such as West Coast Labs and Google's VirusTotal service, and it's cultivated a reputation for not bogging down your PC.

Detailed, plain-English explanations: While other security vendors often slather on fancy-sounding terminology, Malwarebytes is good at telling you exactly what a given feature is doing. Take the "Usage and Threat Statistics" toggle, for example. This covers the anonymous usage data that it collects. In the description on its website, Malwarebytes itemizes basic things like, how many people are running the free version, trial version, and subscription versions? Where is Malwarebytes being used globally? What malware is being detected the most, and how often?

Its full privacy policy even includes detailed and simplified explanations side-by-side. This kind of transparency about your data -- and the deliberately limited extent of it -- is good to have, and it's not as common in the security industry as it should be.

Cons

Limited testing by independent labs: The company asserts that the average "zero day" malware (the kind that's too new for there to be reliable detection/removal) has only a 55 percent detection rate, which can make a given antimalware app look worse than it is when subjected to a barrage of zero-day infections during testing. Therefore, Malwarebytes does not submit its apps to the full gauntlets provided by AV-Test and AV-Comparatives, whose testing takes special notice of zero-day security. However, if Malwarebytes wants to be recognized among its competition, we'd argue that it needs to submit its apps to the same rigorous standards as the competition, even if those standards can create perception issues.

Bottom Line

Now that Malwarebytes appears to have fixed its stability issues in version 3.2, the user experience is rounded out nicely. However, we'd like to see Malwarebytes go through the gauntlets set up by AV-Comparatives and AV-Test to get a better picture of how it stacks up against the competition.
