While we’re still riding high on Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit winning the V3 Security Innovation of the year award, we are also happy to announce the general availability of the new Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit 1.05.1.1014.

This refactoring greatly improves the overall stability and reduces most known conflicts with third-party applications as detailed in the Known Issues list. In addition we’ve added a whole new protection layer. The new Layer0 called “Application Hardening” now includes protections such as DEP Enforcement, Anti-HeapSpraying and BottomUp ASLR Enforcement. The other protection layers have also been improved by including ROP protection and StackPivoting 64bit mitigations in Layer1, 64bit caller mitigations for Layer2 and new application behavior mitigations for Layer3. As an example of Layer3, we’ve added a mitigation f..

I’m delighted to announce the launch of Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit, following a year of beta. We have spent the last year developing and testing the product, and I believe it is a great example of how we are always coming up with new ways to beat the bad guys.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with exploits, we put together the video below. Basically, these threats abuse vulnerabilities in everyday software applications such as browsers, office documents and..

Over the last year, there have been massive amounts of news stories for and against Bitcoin being used as a currency. Here at Malwarebytes we have been advocates for the principles that lent to its creation. To that end, we are announcing as of TODAY that we are accepting Bitcoin as valid payment for our products! We hope that by allowing Bitcoin as a payment option for our consumer products, we afford customers the best possible experience, from purchase to download and use. We will be using the Bitcoin payment platform Coinbase to accept coin payment. We chose Coinbase because of the immense efforts they make toward securing all Bitcoin wallet transactions. Coinbase uses Two-Factor Authentication for account logins Offline storage for actual Bitcoins so the risk of a wallet being snagged by malicious individuals is unlikely SSL encryption for all traffic coming in and out of the site AES-256 encryption for all keys and wallets stored in their vaults An easy to use interface To pu..
