The anti-ransomware component is completely signature-less it's a behavioral blocker. "It will probably detect a big chunk of ransomware as well. "The anti-malware side of the product is a pre-execution component, meaning it will try to detect malware before it can actually run on the machine," explained Kleczynski. The anti-ransomware layer is really a behavior blocker tuned to anti-ransomware simply because of the magnitude of the threat. And finally we have a remediation layer so that, if everything else has failed, we can get the user back to a clean environment." Next we have an anti-ransomware layer based on behavior. Then we've got the payload analysis (the anti-malware component) so if the user has malware on the machine, perhaps through email, we do pre-execution analysis on the file before it can run. The next layer is anti-exploit: here we're looking for things like malvertising or anything that comes in through Flash or Java browser exploits. "We're looking to block any connection to a malicious host so that the user cannot even pull down the malware. "The first layer is web blocking," explained Kleczynski.
The layered protection available in the new version is through the combination of different components. Unfortunately there were many that I had to run - so MalwareBytes was an attempt to bring everything together in one product and we will always offer that free for consumers." The only thing that saved me was the free tools that were out there. I was infected with malware back in 2003 and was completely helpless. "It goes back into the deep roots of where the company came from. "The consumer version will always be free with the same remediation capabilities as the enterprise version," CEO Marcin Kleczynski told SecurityWeek. This will give Malwarebytes, which raised $50 million in series B funding in January 2016, the experience and feedback from millions of users before launching the enterprise version in early 2017.
It is the consumer version that is launched today.
Even the free consumer version has been amalgamated into the single build 3.0, and differentiated from the enterprise version by the product's license key. This new version combines the market preference for a single all-in-one product with the security expert's preference for layered security. Today Malwarebytes became the latest with the launch of Malwarebytes 3.0. Legacy antivirus vendors, like Symantec, Sophos and McAfee have been compelled to release new products to rid themselves of the legacy association. Everybody accepts that antivirus alone is no longer enough to keep computers and networks safe - but because of the misnomer, new next-gen machine learning endpoint protection vendors have been able to take center stage as antivirus replacement products. Antivirus companies are no longer just antivirus but the name has stuck.
