Windows 10: Malwarebytes Anti -Exploit

At the moment I'm using Bitdefender anti virus and Malwarebytes anti malware. Would it be advantageous to install the above program. I'm not sure I fully understand what this program is trying to do. I have read the description on their web site but I must admit it's a bit over my head. As far as I'm aware I've never come across this anti exploit thing before.

It's no big deal, but if someone can explain the advantage of installing this program I would be grateful.

I have it installed. It's like an extra layer of security for zero-day exploits protecting your browser and its addons. I haven't noticed any adverse effects and it takes up little space/memory.

 

It just another anti-app people are supposed to buy to make them more money.

Not true the free version is sufficient. Latest Version Malwarebytes Anti Exploit

A simple explanation would be, it works like Microsofts EMET, but better, and with an easier to use "Set It & Forget It" user interface. If you go to a website that is compromised with bad code that injects malware, this sees it and blocks it.

Thanks eLPuSHer ,TairikuOkami and Cliffs for the info. Don't think I'll bother with the free version, I'll give the paid one a try as it's only £20 for the year.

 

That is the whole idea, a free version is always sufficient, but paid one is better.

I am kind of allergic about all those pointless anti-apps. Most of exploits use VBS or powershell, not needed by average users, just get rid of those and you will get 100% protection for free without any effort.

 

Hello:

Briefly, MBAM (and other anti-malware and anti-virus apps) protect against the "what" of malware, while MBAE protects against the "how" of malware.
Exploits are the most common delivery vector of malware infection these days.
It is designed to provide complementary protection for internet-facing applications, alongside heuristics- and signature-based AV and standard anti-malware applications, neither of which specifically targets exploits.
MBAE does not rely on signatures, but rather on plugging the security holes in vulnerable applications.

MBAE Free shields browsers, browser add-ons and Java, and may be sufficient for many users.
MBAE Premium shields many other vulnerable applications and can be customized to shield other applications, as well, and with customizable levels of protection.

Hope this helps,

The Free version shields browsers, browser add-ons and Java.
The Premium version can be customized to shield email clients, productivity applications and pretty much any other program.

I'm not sure most basic home computer users would know how to get rid of VBS or powershell?? <just saying>*Smile

Thanks,

MM

 

HMP Alert is also subscription based, and very minimal in free mode compared to MBAE
