Keep PC threats in check with new version of ‘Malwarebytes’

fighting malware

If you own a PC with the MS Windows Operating System then you have probably run into malware at one time or another & you’re well aware of the pain in the butt it can be to detect it, not to talk of how difficult it is to get rid of it.

Malwarebytes just introduced a new version of its award winning malware detection & protection software that promises to provide smarter detection, & to be 4x faster than previous versions, not to speak of providing specialized ransomware protection.

Malwarebytes has long been a mainstay of tech support personnel & is part of the arsenal of malware fighting ammo for any savvy PC user. It provides a level of protection & detection that goes way beyond standard antivirus software to detect & remove ransomware, exploits, rootkits, malicious Website attacks…

The tool protects you from advanced threats by automatically scanning in the background for the most dangerous threats. It uses advanced tech to proactively shield your files against 1 of the most pernicious threats that is now making the rounds: ransomware. It works against both known ransomware & new unknown threats, proactively working against future attacks.

It takes the approach of wrapping your browser & other apps in 4 layers of defense to stop attacks that exploit vulnerabilities to infect your computer. It thus protects you from the common approach that malware uses to maliciously deploy your own programs against you. Its protection against fake & infected Websites also prevents you from contacting with fake Sites & malicious links, so that you won’t download malware, or get infected ads & you get protection from hacking attempts.

Finally, the new version of Malwarebytes, which is based in Santa Clara, California, USA, comes with a serious speed boost, with its smart scanning tech, which concentrates only on threats that are currently active & claims a 4x speed bump vs. the previous version.

You can get the software for free for a 14 day trial of the Premium package. This also includes a manual scanner, which will detect & clean up malware infections only after you run a scan, & which will still work after the 14 days are over. If you want to keep using the Premium protection, then you’ll need to subscribe.
