The Malwarebytes Story

What is Malware Anyway?

“Software is considered to be malware based on the perceived intent of the creator rather than any particular features. Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, dishonest adware, scareware, crimeware, most rootkits, and other malicious or unwanted software or programs” – Wikipedia

What is Malware Anyway?

“Malware as full programs or applications designed to steal data, corrupt files or disrupt business. Viruses are simply malicious code that depends on infecting, changing, corrupting or patching applications and/or program files.”
