Microsoft Bombs Antivirus Tests Yet Again

[Alpha3031]

Malwarebytes is great if you're already infected and you need to remove things. But it won't do much, if anything, to prevent infection in the first place.

The nice thing is that since it's not really antivirus software, it won't interfere with the real thing. The optimal setup is to have serious AV software to block infection, and Malwarebytes to scan weekly or so (it'll pick up the non-malicious things that AV software often ignores, like browser hijackers). And then, of course, account segregation, EMET, etc....

I did say on demand.

In the long run Unchecky is probably more effective then any of them for the usual user.
