The Malwarebytes announced version 5.5.4.252 of its eponymous software which appears to be not only anti-malware but a fully functional anti-virus with real-time protection and much more.
Version 5.5 is designed as a solution that can "replace your traditional antivirus," the company said. So the new application includes all the features that were previously available separately: Anti-Malware, Anti-Exploit, Anti-Ransomware, Website Protection, and Remediation (recovery function).
In addition, the development team seems to have focused on the performance of the application, since they report that the 5.5 version has the ability to scan the computer four times faster than before.
What is also very important to mention is that Malwarebytes software still works very well with other security products, so you can install it as an extra layer of security on your computer.
Malwarebytes 5.5.4.252 changelog:
Issues fixed
- Fixed an issue where Deep Scans were mistakenly called Custom Scans in Scan Reports.
- Changed the button name from “Next” to “Save” when updating Tamper Protection controls.
- Fixed a glitch that would sometimes occur when opening the Malwarebytes app from the tray menu in a multi-monitor setup. Addressed minor UI and localization issues.

Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
