Petrovic Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Today Malwarebytes announced their latest security offering called Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware. Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware, or MBARW for short, is currently in beta and is a small utility that runs in the background while quietly monitoring computer for behavior associated with file encrypting ransomware. When it detects associated behavior it automatically blocks the thread from encrypting your data, quarantines the executable, and alerts you that something was detected. Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware is currently being released as a free standalone product that anyone can use to protect their computer. With ransomware being one of the biggest computer security threats currently affecting users, tools dedicated to its prevent is a welcome one. Malwarebytes feels the same way as according to Nathan Scott, the leader technical developer of Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware, "I'm thrilled with the release of this application as it has finally brought together all of the ideas from our top developers who sought one common goal; to stop victims from getting infected by Ransomware. We want to make ransomware a thing of the past and this application is going to get us much closer to that day."

pc71520 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Anti-Malware Anti-Exploit Anti-Ransomware Too many Apps from Malwarebytes... They need to combine them into a single program. It would be better for users to run one (1) program instead of running three (3) different ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really if you want all 3 products you can install all 3 . You take MAE I had to uninstall it when I installed KIS 2016 on a computer . I could not even get Firefox to open with both installed but i still have MAM installed on that pc with no problems . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc71520 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Most Wilders Security users wish Malwarebytes release an All-in-One product offering Anti-Malware, Anti-Exploit, and Anti-Ransomware protection.

But the antivirus makertshare tells a different story for years and years M$ and Avast owns the biggest percentage of it .. Even if they did invent a suite i would never buy it I'm happy using NOD32 with W10FWC and using MAM free for on demand scans . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc71520 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 1. Malwarebytes is an Anti-Virus COMPLEMENT; not a SUPPLEMENT. Malwarebytes is Not a fully-fledged Anti-Virus product like the ones offered by Microsoft and avast! Therefore, Malwarebytes should NOT be Compared with Anti-Virus vendors like Microsoft and avast! This is Not fair. 2. It is not only Wilders Security where Users wondered about an All-in-One product by Malwarebytes... It happened in NSane, too. Check here and here. The vast Majority of users favor All-in-One products. This is purely Rational/Logical. Of course, there have been always Exemptions and Deviations from what the vast Majority prefers.

I have been using KIS since its inception, when its name was Antivirus Personal, and as of today, not confronted any evil thing in my system. Its not AV/IS do all the jobs, users have many responsibilities not to offer his system as playground for malicious things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The vast majority of users is incorrect (two different threads in two different forums is not majority). If you combine them your talking about a security suite no thank you (what steventhirtysix mentioned in a different thread). I like what I have now anti-exploit anti-ransomware and hopefully next anti-apt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pc71520 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Users asking for an Integrated Malwarebytes product are getting more and more at Wilders: -In my previous post, I counted Posts # 12, 13, 14, 17, 24, 26, 29, and 35. -Now, I am adding Posts # 76, 82, 84, 90, 91, 92, 96 so far... Is it only on Wilders Security? Hell, No. Following it is Link from Technibble. Check Post # 4 BTW, Malwarebytes announced that they are moving towards an Integrated product.

Please don't take the On/Off button and simple interface as a bad sign. This was simply a quick beta GUI to get the application out, and this technology will be introduced into Malwarebytes Anti-Malware when finished. I assure you that you are protected from MBARW in every way that CryptoMonitor protected you and more! Its going be part of MAM when its done not part of MAE . It may be a pro feature of the program and not be free even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitdefender already have it before long all Antivirus will .. Back when MAM 1st came out Antivirus were to kill virus and Trojans mostly Now all of them are anti malware as well you can set NOD32 up to detect pups if you wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesDDI Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 For now i'm using also BitDefender Anti-Ransomware separately without any problem. It does its job quietly without disturbing ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I figured they would add to anti-malware if they were going to integrate anything anti-malware is where it would go. I had mentioned I didnt like the idea of integration (I never said they werent going to do it) that might happen in the future its common sense right now I like what they are doing right now. I prefer running three different programs then one program that way if you want to remove one because of a better product in the future you dont have to remove them all.

Always the scanner is free to remove malwares and updates .. Any of the real time features are not free so i want never use it only i use the free version for on demand it cant compete with better known Antivirus programs for real time Ive tired the pro version and it just slows you down already so anything else would make it worse . Only the free version ever won a award June 2014 https://blog.malwarebytes.org/news/2014/07/malwarebytes-anti-malware-free-scores-100-in-av-test-removal-test/ Also the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is the most popular security product installed by users reported by opswat. opswat deals in marketshare not the fact its better. If they didn't offer a free version of the scanner they would commit suicide. Most people install on the fact there's a free version regardless of what there forum tires to sell you own .
