anti-exploit or malwarebytes 2.02.xxx

[mwbrown7638]

Received and e-mail about the new anti-exploit software.

 

"Blocks malware before your antivirus can even put its boots on" it says.

 

I'm already running malwarebytes 2.02.xxx and will be buying a second copy

for a second machine. Which do I need? Do I need to purchase both

anti-exploit and malwarebytes. Which is the best malware software?

 

thanks

They use different philosophies.  Anti-Malware goes after the payload (which I call WHAT) and Anti-Exploit goes after the method (my words again...HOW).  Sometimes the WHAT can be tweaked too make finding it more difficult, but it still has to use the same HOW to do its dirty work.  At the same time, Anti-Malware works across the board, while Anti-Exploit is targeted towards the most-common weak apps...the ones that are prone to vulnerabilities, and the ones that the bad guys like to take advantage of.  I'd do both!  Compared to the price that you end up paying if something does gets through, the price paid for the protection is cheap!
