Premium subscribers of Malwarebytes for Windows gain access to multiple protection layers which actively stop threats. The Real-Time Protection card shows you each protection layer, switches to turn the features on or off, and protection statistics and news. Click this card from the main program Dashboard to view the following screen.
Protection layers
The Real-Time Protection menu displays each of the protection layers in the top-right. You can click on the switches for any of the protection layers to toggle them on or off. We recommend keeping them on to remain fully protected by Malwarebytes. Each protection layer is described here:
- Web Protection: This layer protects you from online scams, phishing sites, and sites containing ransomware.
- Malware & PUP Protection: This layer blocks malware, viruses, adware, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), and other threats.
- Ransomware Protection: This layer blocks malware that locks you out of your device and files, which then demands payment to restore access.
- Exploit Protection: This layer blocks malware which seeks to leverage bugs and vulnerabilities in a system to allow the exploit’s creator to take control.
The protection layers are available to Malwarebytes Premium subscribers.
