Malwarebytes Anti-Malware has already proven itself to be quite an effective removal tool malicioussoftware. The developer of the popular tool announced the version 3 which apparently is not only anti-malware but a full-featured anti-virus with real-time protection and more.
Version 3.0 is designed as a solution that can "replace your traditional antivirus," the company says. So the new application includes all characteristics previously available separately: Anti-Malware, Anti-Exploit, Anti-Ransomware, Website Protection, and Remediation (mode recovery).
In addition, the development team seems to have focused on the performance of the application, since they report that the 3.0 version has the ability to scan the computer four times faster than before.
Malwarebytes 3.0 continues to support all versions of Windows still in use along with Windows XP which is no longer supported by Microsoft. Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 follow, but the Anti-Ransomware feature is only available from Windows 7 and up.
What is also very important to mention is that Malwarebytes software continues to work very well together with other security products, so you can install it as an extra layer of security on your computer.
Anyone who has a purchased Malwarebytes Anti-Malware version licensed also applies to the new version.
Those interested in the free version should know that they will not receive the entire application, but Anti-Malware / Anti-spyware and Anti-rootkit software.
