Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.2.0.1020 Beta 1

Malwarebytes has released a beta release of version 2.2.0 of Anti-Malware. This program is aimed at fighting spy, ad and malware. Especially on the removal of 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.
