Download Malwarebytes 3.5.1.2522

Version 3.5.1 of Malwarebytes has been released recently. 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. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Performance/protective capability

• Added support for Hypervisor Code Integrity (HVCI) and Device Guard to meet Microsoft compliance requirements
• Improved the remediation process so fewer reboots are required
• Improved the accuracy of the Web Protection module
• Improved driver management for increased stability
• Continued improvements to overall protection, detection and remediation

• Updated Notification Center behavior to make it easier to dismiss

• Fixed an issue where Malwarebytes would open to the scan tab instead of the dashboard
• Fixed reported crashes related to Web Protection
