Have you ever considered what makes an anti-malware application effective? We at Malwarebytes have created an easy-to-use, simple, and effective anti-malware application. Whether you know it or not your computer is always at risk of becoming infected with viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, dialers, spyware, and malware that are constantly evolving and becoming harder to detect and remove. Only the most sophisticated anti-malware techniques can detect and remove these malicious programs from your computer.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is considered to be the next step in the detection and removal of malware. We compiled a number of new technologies that are designed to quickly detect, destroy, and prevent malware. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware can detect and remove malware that even the most well-known Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware applications on the market today cannot. Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware monitors every process and stops malicious processes before they even start. The Realtime Protection Module uses our advanced heuristic scanning technology which monitors your system to keep it safe and secure.

About this portable version

This version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware was created with Thinapp, is fully portable and can be updated.

Before launching the application for the first time, place the executable "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.exe" within a folder of its own. I suggest you create a folder "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.27".

Launching the executable will create a folder called "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware" within the host folder". Such folder - also called a sandbox - will hold data related to the application, including definitions updates.

When updating the definitions, subfolders will be created within the sandbox. They are:

a) %Common AppData%: stores the updated definitions - never delete it !
b) %Cookies%, %History%, %Internet Cache%, %Temp%: these folders are temporarily created during the update process an can be safely deleted once the update has completed - you may also wish to keep them.

If you need to copy the portable application to another location, COPY THE WHOLE FOLDER HOLDING THE APPLICATION (not just the executable !).
