Scan starts a scan of the system right away while a click anywhere on the Scanner widget opens the scan interface.

Note that these are only available in the Premium version of the product.Ī click on a section opens it in an overlay on the screen. You may change real-time protection settings right then and there by toggling the "Web Protection", "Malware Protection", "Ransomware Protection", and "Exploit Protection options. The new interface puts the focus on protection settings, the detection history, and the scanner. Open the program settings and disable the option under General to disable this. Tip: Malwarebytes collects usage and threat statistics by default. Users who don't want the program to be registered as the primary security solution may disable it in the options under Security.

Malwarebytes promises expanded malware detection, improved zero-hour detection, and improved signature-less behavioral detection. It remains to be seen how good the new engine really is.
