Malwarebytes 3.1 is sinds gisteren te downloaden, in deze programma-update is vooral de stabiliteit aangepakt. Er waren immers nogal wat problemen na de lancering van versie 3.0. Ook bevat Malwarebytes 3.1 een nieuwe beschermingslaag. Middels de module 'machine learning based anomaly detection' kan het ook zonder definities verdachte afwijkingen detecteren. Ook heeft de gratis versie nu de optie om maandelijks een automatische scan in te plannen.
