Popular security tools provider Malwarebytes released the third public beta of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0, which provides a preview of the new features and changes in the upcoming version of the popular Anti-Malware tool.
Malwarebytes has completely re designed the interface with Anti-Malware 2.0. To quickly access security functions, you’ll now find tabs for Dashboard, Scan, Settings, and History views. The Dashboard view displays your current license, database version, scan progress, and real-time protection status.
The Scan view will detail the progress of a current scan, and it breaks down threats into memory objects, startup objects. Registry objects, and file system objects. Under Settings, you’ll have greater control over what Anti-Malware 2.0 scans and the websites it blocks. For instance, you can whitelist IPs, domains, and processes (such as BitTorrent clients) to ensure the content reaches your PC.
The 2.0 beta integrates Malwarebytes’ Anti-Rootkit and Chameleon tools into the Anti-Malware utility belt, though neither are enabled by default. The Chameleon technology protects Anti-Malware 2.0 against attacks that attempt to disable the security software on your PC. You can enable Chameleon in Settings by clicking Advanced Settings and selecting the Enable Self Protection Module
