Announcing Beta of Malwarebytes 3.0, a Next-Generation Antivirus Replacement - Malwarebytes 3.0 Beta - Malwarebytes Forums
Today we have released the beta of our next-generation product, Malwarebytes 3.0! This product is built to provide comprehensive protection against today’s threat landscape so that you can finally replace your traditional antivirus.
Our engineers have spent the last year building this product from the ground up and have combined our Anti-Malware, Anti-Exploit, Anti-Ransomware, Website Protection, and Remediation technologies all into a single product which we simply call “Malwarebytes.” And it scans your computer 3-4 times faster!
When we launch Malwarebytes 3.0, we are confident that you can finally replace your traditional antivirus, thanks to our innovative and layered approach to preventing malware infections using a healthy combination of proactive and signature-less technologies. While signatures are still effective against threats like potentially unwanted programs, the majority of our malware detection events already come from our signature-less technologies like our Anti-Exploit and Anti-Ransomware; that trend will only continue to grow. For many of you, this is something you already know, since over 50% of our customers already run Malwarebytes as their sole security software, without any third-party antivirus. But rest assured, we will continue to support compatibility if you choose to use a third-party antivirus or other security software alongside Malwarebytes 3.0.
With the combination of our Anti-Malware ($24.95), Anti-Exploit ($24.95) and Anti-Ransomware (free, beta) technologies, we will be selling Malwarebytes 3.0 at $39.99 per computer per year, 20% less than our previous products combined and 33% less than an average traditional antivirus. As we did with our change from perpetual to subscription, we will grandfather in existing customers at their current price. We are still working out the details, but I assure you we will take care of all existing customers. As always, we will be keeping malware remediation absolutely free.
If you have any questions, please read the short FAQ below first and then ask away in this forum! Remember, this is beta software and should be used with caution.

Frequently Asked QuestionsSo, I can replace my traditional antivirus?
Yes! As I said above, over 50% of our customers already have too. We believe in layered defense and built Malwarebytes 3.0 to provide the right mix of proactive and signature-less technologies to combat modern threats and zero-day malware. The combination of our Anti-Malware, Anti-Exploit, Anti-Ransomware, Website Protection, and Remediation technologies has you better covered than the traditional antivirus companies that charge more for less effective protection.
Can I still run Malwarebytes alongside my Symantec or McAfee?
Certainly! We built Malwarebytes 3.0 to be compatible with all major antivirus software, even Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials.
How do I try the beta of Malwarebytes 3.0 if I also have Anti-Exploit or Anti-Ransomware installed?
Simply download and run the installer from the link above. Malwarebytes 3.0 will automatically remove the old Anti-Malware, Anti-Exploit and Anti-Ransomware and upgrade them all to Malwarebytes 3.0.
Which Operating Systems does Malwarebytes 3.0 work under?
We continue to support all versions from Windows XP to the latest Windows 10. Our Anti-Ransomware technology is only enabled on Windows 7 or higher.
I know a fact that Malwarebytes signature are nowhere good as something like Avast, ESET, Avira, Kaspersky, and many known antivirus vendors. So do you guys think they will able to get to these known antivirus vendor signature level quickly or it will take a while?
All I know is that after I run ESET NOD32, I run malwarebytes and that catches the rest of the 5000 virus bodies in the system that's infected.
It was on a clients computer this is what I do I get rid of viruses. that time it was 10,000 virus bodies or so. keep in mind this is a computer owned by the normal 18 to 20-year-old kid. And this case wasn't even as severe as some of the other computers I have fumigated in the last eight years.
I think it's a far stretched claim to say: "replace your AV". I think that goes directly the wrong way of "layered security approach".
Time will tell, though. It seems promising though.
