Malwarebytes 3.0 combines four proprietary technologies
Malwarebytes 3.0 uses four independent technology modules (anti-malware, anti-ransomware, anti-exploit, and malicious website protection) to block and remove both known and unknown threats. The anti-ransomware and anti-exploit modules employ signature-less technology so users are protected from advanced threats that are not yet known to traditional antivirus research labs. The solution also scans 4x faster than its predecessor, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
