Difference between these two Malwarebytes products?

[legend8887]

So Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium is one we all know of that stops all kinds of malware from getting on your system. However, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit has recently just come out. However, I thought the Anti-Malware one stopped exploits. What's the difference between the two and should I get both?

Malwarebytes Anti Exploit is a stripped down version of the Premium edition. It protects you from 0 day exploit(the day malware is released or detected the first time). If you already own the premium edition, you do not need to buy Anti Exploit.

Malwarebytes is not an Anti Virus software and is usually used with in conjunction with other AV.

Confused it with something else. Anti Exploit is a new software built to protect Web Browsers, Java, PDF readers, MS Office and Video Players from exploits, potentially dangerous add-ons and security loopholes. You should install it if you download software regularly or often find yourself in the murky part of the Internet.

Install both anti-malware and anti-exploit with your preferred AV software.

Premium is the biggest one which is needed, i recommend everyone to get it, why , because malware is the biggest threat at the moment, it doesnt protect against againest viruses, malwarbytes will kill anything that is rendered as a threat, in laymans terms it kills the virus before it infects, if it infects then malwarebytes will kill anything that tries to attack its core files and anything that tries to attack windows defender(security essentials). 

 

Anti exploit detects downloads that occur without your notice, its the same as above but targets encryptions(or potential ones and or ones in progress), all ransomware is basically destroyed with anti-exploit.

 

Recommendation is get standard malwarebytes premium and get the free version of anti-exploit as it defends against all browser and emails, the premium version of exploit will also attack things on the usb if needed, both are awesome defences and i can proudly say that they have dropped support calls from one/two per week to zero per year, since ive started using premium ive not had any issues with any of my customers.
