Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) is anti-malware software, in other words, more than just anti-spyware. Of course, he takes care of traditional spyware, but particularly focuses on what resists conventional antivirus and anti-spyware. To put it simply, it is used in disinfection on specialized forums, and can overcome many infections where certain specialized tools must be used (with the necessary precautions).
You can, however, use MBAM as a regular tool; it is accessible, multilingual and offers a quarantine to restore what has been deleted, in case of a problem. It deals relatively well with Bagle, Vundo and various tough and especially recent adware. These infections evolve very quickly, and traditional antivirus and solutions often fail to keep up. The results are really effective, in any case much better than what we are used to with a lambda anti-spyware.
In short, you probably have here one of the first tools of the new generation, because under the hood, what runs is much more technologically advanced than a classic static list of elements to check for, and with a real heuristic engine (detection of new potential threats) and generic, against parasites with random names, which have long fooled many structurally simpler programs.
This quality induces a certain slowness compared to our habits, during the scan, far from being a defect, it is the mark of a real scan of the contents of the files (the slogan of the program is: elimination of harmful, byte by byte). It has a real-time scan module, but paid, the only limitation of the program. In the past, this kind of limitation hasn't stopped millions of people from installing ad-aware, so it shouldn't be an obstacle for MBAM.
You have understood that this program has convinced me, and I have used it regularly in recent months on real cases of infections where antivirus and traditional tools give up their apron. The version you can download is fully functional and free, you just have to do without the real-time module. In freeware mode (therefore without a resident module), it completes a software configuration.
