Symantec Uses Free
Anti-Malware Tool
The ultimate endoresment
of a programmer's work is when a major player in the world of software
picks up their application. You gotta know it is good. Maybe in
this instance it's not an official seal of approval. Or could it
be one better?
According to a recent review of Symantec's Tech Support in PC Mag March 2009 article, "Symantec
Support Gone Rogue" a support rep, presented with a problem
on a delibertely infected system, used Malwarebytes
as one of his clean up tools.
Quoting Neil J. Rubenking in this
article: "To my surprise, he
downloaded and ran the free
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware utility. This is, of course, not a Norton
program by any stretch of the imagination. It did find a few traces of
various threats left behind...."
Consider, if the front line of Symantec are using this tool, it seems
worth a try if you are caught with an infection. Others have gotten the word. According to CNET.com, it is the
second most downloaded anti-malware with over 400K downloads just behind AdAware. It's
something we are going to add to our security kit.
