Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Discount Coupon Code
Many of my readers are aware of the superior capabilities of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware when it comes to detecting and removing the latest malware and spyware threats. I write about it on my blog and in forums I frequent and use it myself, very successfully. In fact, I have dedicated an entire product page to describing how to use and update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is affectionately known in the security trade as simply "MBAM." It is used in numerous malware removal help forums as a primary tool in the fight against Trojans, rootkits, fake security alerts and fake scanners. It also targets most keyloggers. Malwarebytes employs real researchers who capture malware in the wild, reverse engineer it, then develop and release new definitions to detect and remove it, using MBAM. These definitions are added to the database on user's computers, with out-dated definitions getting removed at the same time. This keeps the load on the computer to a minimum, as the definitions databases are relatively small.
The reason for the swapping out of old definitions for new ones has to do with the nature of the cat and mouse game being played out between security researchers and malware authors and distributors of spyware. Malware authors are constantly altering the packaging of their nefarious products, often in as little as 24 hours after initial release. They do this to avoid detection by the most common anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. By the time a standard anti-virus company has developed detection for an altered piece of malware, it may no longer be in common circulation.
MBAM is not a substitute for an anti-virus program, but is meant to run along side of one, giving you an additional layer of protection against the most recent threats in the wild. Your anti-virus program can take care of older threats that are in circulation for a long time without major alterations.
Malwarebytes is a company dedicated to detecting and removing the current threats in the wild. They are very quick to capture new variants of malware, develop definitions and release updates. I have seen at least 6 updates on a slow day, during a prolonged fight against a fake security program (PC Police I think). I had to take the fight to Safe Mode (Windows XP) with Networking to win the battle, using only MBAM to conduct the battle.
The program is available for free if you want to use it manually, as an on-demand scanner. You must check for updates before scanning, then scan manually. Or, for a one-time payment of only $24.95 US, or equivalent in other currencies (+ VAT in EU) you can have it turn on frequent scheduled updating and scanning, plus real time monitoring to prevent malware from being installed in the first place. That one-time payment is for a lifetime license, no matter what version is released!
The current version of Malwarebytes Anti-malware is 1.42, released on December 3, 2009. My product page lists the changes. You can download the latest version from that page and install it over the previous version. Reboot and you're good to go!
However, as great as the $24.95 lifetime price is, they have gone one better, as a Holiday special. From now until the end of December, 2009, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is on sale for 15% off, if you use my affiliate coupon. You will find the coupon on my MBAM product page, along with a description of its usage and recent changes in the current version. Go there, read about the program, copy the code from the third yellow highlighted section, use a link on the page to purchase it, then paste the code into the coupon field and apply it. There is a checkbox in the shopping cart to reveal the coupon code box.
