Beta Release Malwarebytes Beta Thread

It’s interesting that we no longer see updates about improvements in detection and remediation being shared. It makes you wonder whether those capabilities are still advancing, or if that information is simply no longer being disclosed publicly.

What I’m most concerned about is that after reading all these updates, none mention any changes to the detection and remediation engines like they used to list in the change logs. I’m curious why they stopped including that are they still making detection improvements? I know they’re enhancing the browser guard’s detection, but it’s never actually stated in the change logs or products anymore. Maybe I’ll ask around about it.
