Malware Bytes adds exploit-Blocking technology (included in Free Version!)


The free version of Anti-Exploit will protect against exploits in browsers, their add-ons, and Java, while the $24.95 premium version will also work in Microsoft Office, PDF readers, media players, and software selected by the owner.

(From the article)

Anti-Exploit is "not about the product. It's about the problem," Kleczynski said during an interview at Malwarebyte's office in San Jose, Calif. "Sometimes it catches the exploit so early we can't show the alert" that it has stopped an attack.

If it works as advertised, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit would be remarkable for preventing zero-day vulnerabilities -- previously unknown, unpatched software flaws -- from being exploited to steal data or gain control of your computer. Exploits that launch malicious code on your computer, known as remote code execution, combined with zero-day flaws have been successful in targeting massive multinational corporations, financial institutions, and critical infrastructure, as well as private individuals.
