Advice Request does Malwarebytes use cloud protection?

[Andrew999]

I was looking through my Malwarebytes files and I saw these 2 files called cloud and cloud-enumeration so I was wondering if Malwarebytes uses some sort of cloud protection?

It could be part of Malwarebytes | Secure Online Backup & Cloud Backup which got discontinued as of June 2015.

Malwarebytes uses signatures and heuristics for the scan, any suspicious file or a file in a place where malware commonly hides, they scan it with the cloud to make sure it doesn't pose any threat to your system.

Yes MBAM incorporate it, where that concept goes same for uploading analysis like other security products implemented; but still rely on signatures and heuristics.

They use cloud protection?! This did not mentioned it on their Malwarebytes Anti Malware Premium features. Wow, such a exclusive feature that they try to surprise us.
