Malwarebytes is anti-malware software that works across all platforms, and was first launched in 2006.
Malwarebytes (formally known as Malwarebytes Anti-malware) scans and removes any malicious software that may be lurking on your system. It works by scanning in batch modes rather than scanning any individual files that are open.
Malwarebytes also includes its own endpoint protection security solution. It features layers of different detection technology, to match Malwarebytes’ layered approach to security. The multi-vector protection offered by this service provides a high level of defense.
The cloud platform delivers Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection via a single unified endpoint agent. This leads to the instant deployment and management of this service.
The solution offers a free trial that gives users instant access to its endpoint protection. It also offers full functionality for up to 100 endpoints.
If you decide that Malwarebytes Endpoint Solution is for you after the free trial, you will need to contact their sales team in order to get a quote.
However, note that some users have complained that the interface of this solution is not easy to get along with, and that it needs something to make it easier on the eye.
