Ransomware is another huge security risk, easily the most infamous form of consumer malware the world has ever seen. This feature is now only available through Malwarebytes Premium.

Malwarebytes used to have a separate product called Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit, which focused specifically on shielding the security holes and vulnerabilities in popular apps and web browsers against malicious and exploitative attacks. In addition, it's preemptive, so there's never a period of vulnerability. Malwarebytes Premium offers real-time protection, which is always on in the background and actively scans files, executables, and websites for malware, ransomware, exploits, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), preventing infections from happening in the first place. Even if you scan every single day, there will always be a period between scans where your data and system are vulnerable. Malwarebytes Free only does manual scans, meaning it can only catch malware after you've been infected. When it comes to malware, it's safer and more effective to catch potential infections before they take root than diagnosing and cleaning an infected system. Investing in robust locks and alarms is cheaper than replacing everything when your home is burglarized. Taking care of your car is cheaper than repairing it when it breaks down. Exercise and good hygiene are cheaper than visits to the ER.
