BlackGhost Posted October 16, 2013 ID:742802 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Will the Pro Version have Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit and Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit when they come out of beta? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted October 16, 2013 ID:742805 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hello and I do not believe that the PRO version of Malwarebytes will incorporate MBAE or MBAR into one package. These will remain as separate products as far as I know. (Of course this is my opinion as I do not work with Malwarebytes, but if I am wrong someone on the staff will correct me).

BlackGhost Posted October 19, 2013 Author ID:743892 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think it would be good for the pro to have them. I was just wondering is all. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted October 19, 2013 ID:743904 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Many already have expressed the same thoughts including myself and Firefox.They *MAY* be integrated into MBAM or have core capabilities integrated into MBAM or they may become separate products or utilities.

fivealive Posted October 19, 2013 ID:743919 Share Posted October 19, 2013 If I recall correctly, I do believe it was Ron who said that it wasn't a good idea to incorporate them into one program, because if the one program is disabled by the infection, then its all broken, hence why its multiple programs(aside from the fact those 2 programs are in beta) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted October 19, 2013 ID:743928 Share Posted October 19, 2013 That is very true, but up to a point. The objective of malware is to deliver its payload and to have the payload running on the victim's computer as long as possible. To effectuate that objective malware will employ various self preservation techniques. They could be to block access to signature hosts, block all EXE file execution, block explicitly named executables, corrupt a component of a program or utility and numerous more. To thwart these self preservation techniques, MBAM has produced the Chameleon technology. Eventually the malicious actors will thwart that as well. Thus an ongoing battle ensues. Therefore it is logical to incorporate functionality of MBAR and MBAE in the MBAM product and to have separate standalone versions as well to thwart self preservation techniques.

fivealive Posted October 19, 2013 ID:743929 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I can see your point and even agree with you, but at the same time I am just repeating what I read on the forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted October 19, 2013 ID:743932 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Sure. The difference is an explanation and rationales so people have a "better" understanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted October 20, 2013 Root Admin ID:744053 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Most of the top antivirus vendors to this day still have a stand alone product for rootkits so there has to be something said for that. The decision is up to the Product management group though and they've not released that information yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
