Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) is a computer application designed for the removal of and protection from malware.[1][2] MBAM is distributed as shareware. The freeware version includes on-demand malware detection and disinfection, while the paid-for version monitors for threats continuously. It is the flagship product of Malwarebytes Corporation, founded in 2004 and located in Champaign, Illinois.[3]

[edit] Company information

Malwarebytes was founded in 2004 by CEO Marcin Kleczynski. As of March 2009, Kleczynski has retained the lease for the malwarebytes.org web-site through October 4, 2010. In December 2008, the Malwarebytes Corporation signed a contract with e-commerce solution provider, Cleverbridge, to assist in the purchase requests for their software. [4]

CNET cited MBAM being one of the first programs able to disinfect the so-called Antivirus XP 2008 spyware.[5] News organizations have also picked up on MBAM, having mostly positive things to say about program's detection abilities.[6][7][8]
