Tom AZ Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Does Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware's Active Protection module include e-mail scanning? It appears that it does not, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom AZ Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 I just started using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Free) a few days ago and have done a couple of Quick Scans. So far, it seems to have a little higher detection rate than some other anti-malware apps I've used (SAS, AVG, etc.). Is this just my imagine, or is MBAM a tad better at doing what it's supposed to do? Because I'm currently using the freeware version, the Active Protection is not included, so I don't really know how well that part performs. One other thing for those familiar with this MBAM . . . does it include anti-virus as well as other anti-malware detection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I think MBAM is geared more towards being a specialist Trojan/Antispyware/Rogue Remover rather than your conventional Virii. If you ever come across anything suspect you could upload to MBAM for them to have a look at and maybe inclusion to MBAM's detection/removal data base. Bruce HarrisonMalwarebytes Lead Researcher: MBAM will continue to gain weapons and tools and continue to gain ground on all of the malware that conventional AVs cant handle . We have progressed far enough that we are now in the process of acquiring many of the top freelance researchers and this will push our abilities even further . What they have seen so far is the result of a single researcher , by 09 we will have 5 . MBAM has heuristics and special case malware heuristics for common problem infections like vundo and zlob many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
