Malwarebytes for Windows

WHQL Version 4.0.4.49
Release Date: November 4, 2019

Release Notes:

• Malwarebytes 4.0
• Announcing Malwarebytes 4.0 for Windows

You can download Malwarebytes 4 directly from our main website download link.

Performance/protective capability

• New Malwarebytes Katana engine provides improved malware detection.
• Now registers as primary cybersecurity program in Windows Defender Security Center.

Usability

• User interface redesign for improved user experience.
• New Threat Center integration to learn more about any threats detected.
• New lightweight installer ensures the latest version is always installed.

Stability/ issues fixed

• Improved performance and faster scans.
• Numerous miscellaneous improvements and fixes.

Since Malwarebytes 4.0 Premium is an anti-virus replacement, will it register itself in Windows Security Center in order for Windows to recognize it as security software?
With any new install Malwarebytes 4.0’s new default behavior is to register in Windows Defender Security Center (also known as Windows Security Center, Windows Action Center) as a primary line of defense. Due to Microsoft’s implementation of Windows Defender Security Center, this means that Windows Defender will disable itself as a result (depending on your operating system). However, if you prefer to run Malwarebytes alongside any other traditional antivirus (including Windows Defender, Symantec or McAfee) you can disable the Windows Security Center setting in Security Settings within Malwarebytes 4.0. This will prevent Malwarebytes from registering in Windows Security Center and either your secondary antivirus or Windows Defender will show as registered. Malwarebytes 4.0 will continue to run seamlessly alongside these other solutions in compatibility mode.

Malwarebytes is not a replacement for Kaspersky. It is a special product that adds more protection and is designed to work with Kaspersky and other products.

I bought 5 licenses for MalwareBytes a few months ago for $18 and it was well worth it! I use MalWareBytes to clean up PC's if something gets past the AV. Good product and very reasonably priced!

also did you know each license has a lifetime upgrade as long as it is used for a home user

 

[quickslvr]

does it need if i have kaspersky 2013 and upd?ated

 

[azasadny]

MalwareBytes is NOT AV, it complements AV, so it is used in addition to AV. I use it along with Windows Defender/Microsoft Security Essentials and I've been very happy with it, from an effectiveness and performance perspective.
