Hello All Computer Security Enthusiasts, including myself, so Hello MaiTriCks

I am surprised that nobody had created a thread on it, but that old MalwareBytes GUI has totally been ravaged and revamped! It is official and has exited the Beta stage. All can now update to it. And if you haven't gotten malwarebytes, get it today. It is recommended for optimal protection, and it is better than most anti-virus scanners, and catches things under the radar.

Goodbye to:

And Say Hello to:


I thought you would all be interested to know.

I am overjoyed to announce the first public beta of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0. I know you've been waiting a very long time for this and so have we! The purpose of this beta is to get feedback from the people we care most about -- our users!

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0 ships with a completely redesigned user interface to make the product easier to use, more informative, and provide quicker access to key functionality.We have built in and improved our Anti-Rootkit and Chameleon self-protection technologies that have been in beta for the past year. Additionally, we've rewritten Malicious Website Blocking and improved native x64 support. Most importantly, our detection and removal engine was significantly improved under the hood and kicks even more malware butt! This is the biggest rewrite we have ever undertaken, and we hope you’re thrilled with the result.

With the launch of 2.0, we'll also be moving to a subscription licensing model, $24.95 per year. As more and more people have come to rely on us for malware protection and cleanup, our costs in bandwidth, hosting fees, infrastructure, salaries of our researchers, QA department, and more have grown immensely. Though our company is about more than just making money, we are a company and we do have to make money to pay our staff to continue doing what they love, which is fighting malware. The subscription model will help us to be sustainable for the future while staying true to our roots that we will always make malware cleanup free for everyone.

We will continue to honor existing lifetime licenses, meaning any users that already have a lifetime license for 1.x will continue to have a lifetime license for 2.x. We'll be offering a few thousand more lifetime licenses during launch as well. On top of all of that, new subscription licenses will be valid for 3 PCs, not just 1.

We could have gone other routes to make our business more financially sustainable, like adding toolbars or advertisements like many other security products have, but that's not the company we are. We believe that products should be nag-free and cleanup shouldn't cost our users a dime, and we're going to stay true to that. Scanning for and removing malware will be free in version 2.x and beyond! You didn't pay to get infected, you shouldn't pay to clean it up! :)"

SUMMING UP DIFFERENCES:

• BRAND NEW USER INTERFACE
  


• MORE INFORMATIVE
  


• BUILT IN ANTI-ROOKIT AND CHAMELEON SELF-PROTECTION FOR INTEGRITY
  


• REVAMPED WEBSITE BLOCKING AND IMPROVED ON 64-BIT OSs
  


• SUBSCRIPTION LICENSING, $25 P/Y
  


• NEW PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS VALID FOR 3 PCs, NOT 1
  

It is time to go over the new elements of MalwareBytes Premium 2.0:

We now have a dashboard, scan, settings and history tab, friendly UI IMHO.


There are three types of scans, Threat Scan, Hyper Scan, and Custom Scan.



Then we have General Settings, this includes everything:









I think they made scanning so much more fun, here's my first scan <3:



As you can see, scanning includes new sectors:

• A Pre-Scanning Operation to check environment conditions
  


• System Drivers
  


• Master Boot Record
  


• Physical Sectors
  


• Memory Objects
  


• Start-Up Objects
  


• Registry Objects
  


• Filesystem Objects (finally)
  


• Heuristic Analysis, and once again, this is truly the second line of defense in fighting malware.
  

This looks like something i'd invest in. The GUI is much more professional, and the additions made are fantastic; just about every thing that users from mediocre to l33t would need for their virus removal purposes.


And no, it is still not an anti-virus. 😠

The reason why you have not heard of it till now is because it is not listed as a Beta on their website. You guys just have me, the one band R&D here. 🤭 Enjoy the download everyone!

I guess some people prefer GUI > functionality/stability
