We are very excited about these major improvements in Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.50. This version represents a complete overhaul of much of our functionality. Among the highlights are:

• Dramatically improved scan speed: up to 5 times faster.
• Dramatically improved stability of both the scanner and protection module (free and pro version, respectively).
• More responsive: program loads up to 3 times faster, and protection module has lower impact on system resources (pro version only).
• New internal detection algorithms enable detection of more real-world malware.

• You can now add files and folders to the ignore list manually.
• Ability to schedule and unschedule scans and updates from the command line (pro version only).
• Notifications of blocked malicious websites now include additional details such as type, port, and process on Windows Vista and higher.
• Dramatically improved flash scan (pro version only) -- determine whether a more in-depth scan is needed, in less than 10 seconds on many machines.
• One-touch easy-to-use option to keep protection up-to-date automatically (pro version only).
• "Warn if database is outdated by:" option now warns if the database is far out-of-date (7 days by default), including for protection (pro version only).

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.50 Public Beta Now Available

Thanks Aaron, downloading it now :)

Downloaded and installed. Thanks for the info Aaron.

Seems to be quite a bit faster at that.

The free version is only a manual scanner you would run a scan yourself. It doesn't have real time monitoring, so it should be just fine to have it downloaded, update it and to run a manual scan when you want, yes.

Thanks for this, just installed :)
