This is the software publisher's description.

Have you ever considered what makes an anti-spyware program an effective one? We at Malwarebytes have thought long and hard about that seemingly simple question.

Your computer is under constant attack from several types of malware (virus, worm, trojan, rootkit, dialer, spyware, etc) that are constantly evolving. There exists a real war between this malware and the anti-malware community. Only the most sophisticated anti-malware techniques can now keep your computer running safe, sound and secure.

Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware is a full-blown anti-malware program that has recently left our labs and can be considered the next step in the detection and removal of malware. We put together a host of new technologies that were especially designed to quickly detect, deter and destroy any malware that could reside in your computer.

Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware monitors every process and actually stops malicious processes before they even start. It uses our impressive technology that is in fact a completely novel way of heuristic scanning and it is our response to the increasingly complex malware threats. And, as we did with our Malwarebytes’ RogueRemover we also have added a threats center. You can simply check online which pests are removed the most and thus are the most prevalent.
