For example, if you research what a Wimad Trojan attack consists of, it's a script based attack which exploits the execution of malicious code through Windows Media Player via infected media files (MP3, WMA, WMV etc.), and since Windows Media Player (along with other popular media player software) is among the default protected applications by the exploit protection in Malwarebytes, these types of threats would in fact be stopped before they could infect a system protected by Malwarebytes. While it is true that the Malware Protection component of Malwarebytes 3 does not target those types of files, other components such as Anti-Exploit do. MBAM will not tell you that is a malicious HyperText Application, or that XLS uses malicious macros or that MP3 is a Wimad or that web site has an Embedded IFrame.'Īctually, that's not entirely accurate. MBAM will only protect one IFF they try to play a media file and it attempts some not standard media player function. However if they had a fully installed Anti Virus solution performing 'On Access' and 'On Demand scanning on ALL file types, there would be a warning the files are malicious. So if one has a folder of Wimad trojans and only MBAM is installed, the computer user will never know. They lose a layer of protection that an AV provides. If one ONLY depends on MBAM they lose the warnings made by traditional anti virus applications that performs scanning the file types MBAM does not target. It does NOTHING for Social Engineering which is the Human Exploit such as those demonstrated in Fraud and Phishing emails.

MBAM may have and Anti Exploit module but that is for software exploitation. Malware that is fresh and new Today and not something that was more prevalent a year or two ago.Īn anti virus may intercept email and it will then decode the MIME and scan the body and attachments and flag the email as a Phish, Fraud or some other malicious content.

It does not handle legacy malware because Malwarebytes personnel culls it database periodically and only tragets what they call Zero Day malware.

It is not MAPI and/or VIM compliant nor does it offer a POP/IMAP Proxy Service.

It is still incapable of of removing malicious code that had been prepended, appended or cavity injected into legitimate files such as by a file infecting virus or by a trojan that trojanizes legitimate files ( aka patches ).

there are services in an Anti Virus that are not fulfilled by MBAM. No, MBAM is not an antivirus and cannot replace an antivirus at least enable Windows defender (if you run Win 8 or Win 10) but do not run without an antivirus!!!!!
