Who ya gonna call Malwarebytes For many years, Malwarebytes has been the go to solution when other antivirusproducts drop the ball. Its been a few years since the programs last update. During that time, the company has focused a lot of its energy on preventing pcs from getting infested with malware in the first place, but Malwarebytes 3. Free is still available to clean up malwares messes. Digital Signature Of Installation Files Is Missing Kaspersky 2013' title='Digital Signature Of Installation Files Is Missing Kaspersky 2013' />Its still an excellent tool, although it didnt perform as well as the last version in my testing. The main reason version 3. Malwarebytes 3. 0 Premium. That product now includes all the various scanning and detection technologies that previously represented separate products. Ransomware protection is built in. Exploit protection is no longer a separate product. TheINQUIRER publishes daily news, reviews on the latest gadgets and devices, and INQdepth articles for tech buffs and hobbyists. Real time protection watches for known malware and for malicious behaviors, and Web protection steers you away from dangerous sites. With all these layers of protection, Malwarebytes now promotes the premium edition as a suitable replacement for your existing antivirus, though its also designed to work alongside other products. Ill review the premium edition shortly. The main window of the free software looks quite a bit different from that of the previous version. A simple menu runs down the left side, and a right hand panel reports protection status. All of the premium features are listed, but disabled and marked Premium Only. The dashboard tab reports your security status, with a big button to launch a scan. The layout is still simple and straightforward. Most days, youll just load it up and click the Scan button. Little to Learn From Lab Results. According to my contact at the company, Malwarebytes is designed to whip malware, not to pass tests. For example, if a particular sample has zero recent sightings among the horde of Malwarebytes users, the company may remove its signature, to keep the product nimble. A test that uses that dated sample will make the product look bad. Malwarebytes deliberately doesnt participate in testing by most of the labs that I follow for that reason. In addition, the tests available when a new product comes out are almost invariably based on the previous version of the product. Thats not so bad for products undergoing slow evolution, but the big changes in the latest version mean that the paltry results we do have may not be meaningful. West Coast Labs awarded checkmark certification to the previous version of Malwarebytes Premium. Note that this lab works with vendors who dont pass certification, so that they eventually succeed. Its a different model from the labs that assign ratings to products based on their success rate. MRG Effitas takes a tough stance with its all types malware test. A product that completely prevents every single sample from installing on the test system earns Level 1 certification. A product that lets some samples install, but remediates almost all of them within 2. Level 2 certification. All others fail, and theres no distinction between missing all samples and missing just a couple. Cleanup only products dont have the opportunity to block installation, but if the on demand scan completely remediates the malware, they earn Level 1 certification. Along with three less well known products, Kaspersky took Level 1 certification. Five other products managed Level 2. Almost half of the products failed to reach even Level 2 certification, Malwarebytes among them. Digging in to the test data behind the certification, I found that while the other three cleanup only products received Level 1 certification, Malwarebytes failed to remove 4. That doesnt sound great, but theres just not enough information to assign an aggregate lab score to Malwarebytes. Even if I had more data, with the major update in version 3 I couldnt swear the result would still be valid. Four of the five labs I follow include Kaspersky Anti Virus in their testing, and its aggregate lab score is an impressive 1. Norton earned 9. 7 points, based on tests by three labs. And Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2. Diminished Malware Protection. The free edition of Malwarebytes is a cleanup only product, with no real time malware protection. My usual malware blocking test is no use for such a product. And yet, with no real help from the independent labs, I had to do something to see the product in action. To that end, I launched the samples in batches, gave each batch time to finish installing, and then launched Malwarebytes to clean up the mess. Giving the samples time to run proved a bit problematic. One ransomware sample had time to do its dirty deeds before the scan removed it. Theres nothing a cleanup only product could do to prevent that. Unfortunately, it encrypted the data file used by my program that checks for known traces of my set of samples. Thats awkward, but of course I had a backup. After each batch of malware samples, I ran my hand coded detection tool to verify that the malware traces were present. Then I ran a standard Threat Scan with Malwarebytes. On my test system, this scan routinely finished in two minutes or less. In almost every case, it requested a reboot after the scan, to complete the cleanup process. After reboot, I ran my detection tool again to see what the cleanup did. The results were disappointing. F Secure and Webroot Secure. Anywhere Anti. Virus detected 1. Webroot completely eliminated all of them, scoring a perfect 1. Malwarebytes didnt even recognize 3. My contact at Malwarebytes pointed out that if the samples are old and no longer in the wild, Malwarebytes wont necessarily catch them. I obtained all of the samples from live malware hosting URLs earlier this year, but looking at the details I did find that some of them had originated several years ago. On the plus side, Malwarebytes completely wiped all traces for 4. For another 1. 3 percent, it detected and removed some of the traces, but left behind some executable files. The samples in the remaining 1. In these cases, I found executable files in the quarantine list that were still present in their original form. I pored over the logs, verifying that Malwarebytes thought it removed them. My company contact couldnt immediately explain this behavior. See How We Test Security Software. Du Battery Saver Pro Apk Full there. Mitigating Factors. Like the lab tests disdained by Malwarebytes, my hands on test doesnt precisely simulate the products actual use case. Normally youd bring in Malwarebytes to handle an infestation that got past your existing antivirus, or that prevented installation of a more traditional antivirus. The aggressive behaviors and technologies that such an infestation requires should be a red flag for Malwarebytes. A less dangerous sample thats manually loaded on a test system doesnt raise the same concerns. Even so, the product has fared better in the past. Several years ago, I ran a test that challenged Malwarebytes and other products to remove entrenched malware from a dozen badly infested systems. At that time, Malwarebytes outscored all competing products, with an overall detection rate of 8. I hope that the current version proves effective against such real world threats. But I cant demonstrate that as a fact. Keep It in Your Toolbox. All things considered, Malwarebytes 3. Free remains a very useful tool, despite the issues I uncovered in testing. If you carry a thumb drive full of tools, it should definitely be one of them.
