Software Update: Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware 1.45

Malwarebytes has released version 1.45 of Anti-Malware. This program is the successor to RogueRemover. It is similar to Lavasoft’s Ad-Aware, but it does not focus on fighting spy and adware. The program removes malicious software that pretends to be a bona fide antivirus or antispyware solution, but actually has less good intentions. As with Ad-Aware, there is a paid variant that offers additional functionality, including real-time protection. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

Recent changes:

• Added new scheduling engine for our customers featuring realtime updating, more finely-grained scheduled scanning/updating, and a streamlined interface.
• Added new flash scanning option which searches for malicious objects in memory and load point locations.
• Added compatibility with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for our corporate customers.
• Added a brand new advanced heuristics detection module named Shuriken that will be integrated into both scanner and protection module.
• Integrated website blocking options and other customizable policies into the main program interface.
• Heavily improved command line interface allowing customers to scan and remove automatically and silently.
• Heavily improved updating module which should solve various updating issues. Also added full proxy support including authentication and integration into the GUI.
• Fixed a large number of various issues and enhanced overall stability of the scanner and protection module.
