Malwarebytes includes limited signature-based detection as one of its many protective layers, but relies primarily on more modern forms of detection. Its Web Protection blocks traffic to known dangerous addresses, whether triggered by your browser or by a malicious application. The Ransomware Protection watches for the telltale behaviors of an unknown program preparing to encrypt your files — catching even zero-day ransomware attacks by recognizing suspicious behavior rather than needing to identify specific threats.
Exploit attacks take advantage of security holes in popular applications, using vulnerabilities to seize control. Even if you keep your operating system and programs fully patched, there’s always a window between when a vulnerability is discovered and when it’s fixed. Malwarebytes shields several dozen popular applications against these attacks, offering generalized protection against exploit behaviors rather than defense against specific exploits alone.
