Download Malwarebytes 3.7.1.2839

Version 3.7.1 of Malwarebytes 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 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

• Now compatible with Microsoft’s Early Launch Anti-Malware requirements
• Improved detection and remediation techniques

usability

• Added new Play Mode feature for paid users to allow uninterrupted gaming or streaming experience
• Improved compatibility between the Web Protection module and other third-party software

Stability/issues fixed

• Fixed a BSOD related to netio.sys
• Fixed On Reboot scheduled scans not honoring scan settings and showing incorrect Next Scan date
• Fixed a mismatch between Malwarebytes and Windows Action Center regarding Update status
• Fixed problem where certain settings were not accurately retained on upgrade
• Improved performance in Safe Mode so only essential functionality runs
• Addressed numerous other miscellaneous defects
