What Problem Does It Solve?

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware software provides an effective solution for both preventing and removing spyware infections from business systems. The application excels at detecting and removing a wide variety of malware, including worms, Trojans, dialers and other forms of spyware.

Unlike many antimalware programs that often miss common infections, require extensive periods to complete scans, often scan only the main root drive, place too heavy a burden on system resources or fail to offer active protection, Malwarebyte's solution delivers the choice of fast, quick scans and possesses impressive detection rates. Further, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware can clean specific drives, uses minimal system resources and includes a licensed version that delivers active (real-time) protection.
Standout Features

Thorough detection and elimination - Based on experiences detecting and removing active spyware infections on numerous PCs (including on systems running current and up-to-date versions of Norton, McAfee and Trend Micro security products), Malwarebytes Anti-Malware frequently identifies and quarantines or removes active spyware, adware, Trojan and other infections leading programs miss or fail to clean. Malwarebytes’ removal rate is particularly effective due to the software’s superior heuristic scanning technology and ability to mark locked files as infectious and delete them upon rebooting (thereby circumventing removal issues that often plague other Windows-based antimalware programs). The program also includes a standalone FileASSASSIN utility for removing locked files.

Customizable scans - Some antispyware tools don't allow customizing scans; for example, when slaving hard disks to a test system, scanning disks other than the main root (or C) drive isn’t possible. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware provides the ability to specify whichever drive requires attention.

Real time protection - Unlike some antispyware programs, licensed versions of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware provide active, live protection against threats. Rather than waiting to detect and remove infections whenever a scan is launched, Malwarebyte’s licensed product provides constant protection against malware threats.

Affordable pricing - Individual desktop licenses are reasonably priced (less than $25 a copy). Corporate licensing extends heavy discounts to business users, while consultants, nonprofits, and repair professionals receive significant discounts, as well.

Light footprint - Security software is often maligned for the amount of resources (specifically, RAM and CPU) consumed protecting desktop systems. Malwarebytes engineers have done well creating a very effective detection engine that uses few system resources. Active protection typically consumes less than 15MB of RAM and negligent CPU cycles, a very small price to pay, considering numerous spyware infections simply render systems useless.
