Cool Features:
Malwarebytes has powerful features. Protection against ransomware and exploit protection are built in. Real-time detection actively monitors for malicious activity and web protection warns against dangerous sites. Malwarebytes is unique because it ignores antiquated viruses from years ago to keep the product nimble. This is an antivirus that focuses on the threats of today rather than years and years ago. Personally I had the DNS Locker virus on my computer and Malwarebytes was one of the few antivirus products which quarantined it.

Cool Features:
AVG safeguards you from accidentally opening infected files by placing them in quarantine. The antivirus intelligently collects data on new threats by harnessing the power of its giant user base and their PCs - but you can opt out of this feature if you want to. When AVG recognizes a problem quite often a Fix button will appear on your computer screen. If you give approval then AVG will attempt to correct the problem swiftly. AVG waits until your computer is not being used before it begins its scans to reduce hogging up resources. It is smart enough to ignore files that it has already approved. It has a game mode feature to ease your apprehension that a game will be interrupted by a scan. The Deep Scan feature is very unique. Deep Scan will run a new Boot-Time scan to discover potential threats before Windows starts.

Business / Endpoint Info:
Malwarebytes has burst onto the scene as a business antivirus force. They have done this in a relatively short amount of time all things considered. Their Endpoint Security product does not disappoint. Endpoint Security defends against ransomware, malware, zero-day exploits, PUPs, adware and more. The software blocks access to known malicious IP addresses so that end users on the network are proactively protected from downloading malware, hacking attempts, redirects to malicious websites, and malvertising. It is definitely worth noting the Breach Remediation feature. This is a crucial technology for today's threatening cyber security world where even hostile nations attempt to hack companies. Breach Remediation hunts for advanced threats and minimizes re-imaging due to infection. Perhaps the most crucial detail is the gathering of and displaying of forensic evidence for analyzing failed hack attempts or even the dreadful successful hack. Control it all from a single Management Console. |
Business / Endpoint Info:
There are currently 3 choices for the AVG business solutions. The File Server Edition comes with file server security at the entry level which is nice because not all business antivirus solutions include file server protection in the entry level product. Another great feature is free business technical support is included. Remote management is built-in as well. The AVG Business Edition is the next level up. The mid-level product can leverage the cloud to assist in protecting against threats. Also this version includes things like a firewall and email scanning. If you want to nuke spam you will need the premium offering which is AVG Internet Security Business Edition. |
