Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) is a computer application that finds and removes malware.[1] Made by Malwarebytes Corporation, it was released in January 2008. It is intended to find malware that other anti-virus and spyware programs generally miss.[2][3]
Software information
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is available in both a free and a paid edition.[1][3] The free edition must be run manually, while the paid version can automatically perform scheduled scans. The paid version also adds real-time protection and IP blocking to prevent access to malicious web sites. Both versions scan a user's computer and remove any malware that is found.[4]
Reception
- CNET cited Malwarebytes as being useful against the Antivirus XP 2008 spyware.[5] CNET awarded it April 2009 Editor's Choice along with 25 other computer applications[4][6]
- Bleeping Computer, has listed Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware as a method of removing rogue security applications such as Antivirus 2009,[7] as well as Spyware Protect 2009.[8]
- Mark Gibbs of Network World wrote:[9]
I'll give Anti-Malware 4 out of 5. It does the job and only the lack of a detailed explanation of what it has found stops it from getting 5 out of 5. Highly recommended all the same.
