Software Review Avast Free (Hardened Mode) vs Ransominator

[GenioRack]

Good. It remains to answer why malwarebytes is so protected in
Forums like bleepingcomputer or infospyware that claim to be independent and behave like affiliates.

The level of detection of malwarebytes has never been higher than that of kaspersky, Eset, avast, bitdef, avira and other antiviruses. It only stood out because it removed many potentially unwanted programs. And this was not discussed in almost any forum. I've only seen it on MalwareTips.
But one day malwarebytes will reach that level and we will have spent 7 years saying that it is better than other antivirus. I mean, we have been hiding the truth from people for 7 years. why? I do not know.

Malwarebytes is not really designed to compete with Eset, Avira etc, they target different types of malware, so to compare them is a waste of time.

IIRC the InfoSpyware admin works for Malwarebytes

Could someone explain to me the benefit of having ransomware shield on when hardened aggressive mode is already on? Isn't only known safe file/executable allowed to run?

The explanation I can find is that it is one more layer of security. This shield works with a deny system. So I guess it's going to give a lot of protection to those who don't use hardened aggressive mode.

actually, they claimed that MB can cover everything so it's fair for everyone to compare it but for MT users like us, as you said, it's a humiliation to other well-known AVs to be compared with MB

Thanks. I guess I don't need it then, save some resource.
