Download Malwarebytes 3.0.4.1269 Beta 3

Malwarebytes has released the third beta release of Anti-Malware version 3.0. This program is aimed at fighting malware, such as malicious software that pretends to be a bona fide antivirus or antispyware solution, but in reality has less good intentions, such as ransom– or scareware† In addition to the free version, there is a paid variant, which offers additional functionality, including real-time protection.

Version 3.0 has a new user interface and the program drops the name ‘Anti-Malware’ and is now simply called Malwarebytes. It now also integrates the Anti-Exploit and Anti-Ransomware tools, which are currently still offered as separate programs, and the computer should also scan a lot faster. The manufacturer believes that the product can now also be used as a replacement for traditional antivirus software, which it previously recommended to be used alongside. When Malwarebytes 3.0 is finished, the price will go up, but existing customers will keep their current price and terms. The changelog for beta 2 looks like this:
