Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit (MBAE) is a program made by Malwarebytes Corporation. This program protects browsers and software programs from attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in their code. This program protects a vast range of popular programs that have may or have exploits. In the free version of the program it includes "shields" for: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera Browser, Maxthon, Seamonky, IceDragon, Cyberfox, Palemoon, Tor Browser, Comodo Dragon, and Oracle Java. In the Premium version users have more "shields" for: Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, Foxit Phantom, Foxit Reader, LibreOffice, Microsoft Office, Windows Media Player, VLC Player, Winamp Player, and Apple QuickTime. Users also have the ability to turn on and off "shields" with a Premium subscription, or Anti-Exploit for Business.
Overview
This program provides four layers of protection to block exploits. The program Blocks shell code execution, memory calls, sandbox escapes and memory mitigation bypasses. Other attacks include, Drive-by exploits and File Format exploit. The program does not require frequent updates while secures programs associated with older operating systems, (ex. Microsoft Windows XP) and works with other security solutions. Execution logs are available to free and Premium users to explain when the service started protecting a program for instance Mozilla Firefox and when an attack was blocked. The Business version allows more protection including less IT involvement to make it compatible with endpoint security systems.
Cons or Hearsay
Some of the cons of this program difficult to demonstrate its effectiveness and users of MBAE still need an Anti-virus. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware premium subscriptions do not affect Premium status with MBAE or vice versa.
