Thus Malwarebytes does not submit its application towards the full gauntlets that are provided by the AV-Test and AV-Comparatives whose testing takes special note of zero-day security.

Now the company seems that the average “ zero-day” comes with only a 55% data detection rate that makes anti-malware look worse than when it is subjected to the barrage of zero-day infections during testing. It has also been tested and given a score from AV-Test. To be general, Malwarebytes 4.0 scanning tech is rated as favorable by independent testers like West Coast Labs and Google’s VirusTotal service. This is indeed the preferred reflex as PUPs are not necessarily to be harmful, and if you extract them, then they can remove the programs they come along with. Now during our test, it was seen that the applications malware scanner picked some files as well as a registry entry left over from an incomplete uninstallation of a third party driver management utility that, according to Malwarebytes might have bundled up a potentially unwanted program (PUP).īy default, it places such files in negligence rather than deleting them.

It is good to have such kind of transparency regarding your data and the limited extent of it as it is not as common as it should be in the security industry. Its privacy and security policy carries detailed and simplified explanations side by side.
