JanosG Posted June 21, 2014 Author ID:844544 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Sorry, I wasn't clear: I'd like to know if I should *add* anti-exploit, realizing that their functions are different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted June 21, 2014 ID:844546 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Definitely a different question! Without getting overly technical, I would say yes. Anti-Malware uses signatures and heuristics to analyze memory and files for threats. Anti-Exploit analyzes methods of communicating with programs that have (or may have) vulnerabilities (weaknesses). Some anti-malware is designed to avoid detection, but it still has to use certain methods to attack. Anti-Exploit prevents the attack from happening, but it is primarily used to shield certain applications which are often used as targets. In the simplest terms, Anti-Malware goes after the "what" and Anti-Exploit goes after the "how". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
