Download Malwarebytes 3.2.2.2029

An update for Malwarebytes version 3.2 has been released. 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.

Since version 3.0, the Anti-Exploit and Anti-Ransomware tools have been integrated, which were previously offered as separate programs. The manufacturer therefore believes that the product can now also be used as a replacement for the traditional antivirus software, where it previously recommended to use it alongside. This only applies to the paid version, the free version only functions as an on-demand scanner. What exactly has changed in this release is not entirely clear, the changelog is the same as that of the final, version 3.2.2.2018:
