What products do the ML crowd use for malware detection?
-
That depends on the environment I'm in. At home, Webroot and OpenDNS. In my hosted environment, Webroot and Sophos UTM.
-
Webroot obviously
Those numbers match what we're seeing as well - huge spikes in malware over the last year. -
Office - Panda Cloud AV and Soncwall NSA with webfiltering.
Home - Webroot and nothing.. though hoping to soon put in one of the many free filter options for testing and knowledge. -
Webroot and Malwarebytes at home. Vipre Business at work.

Woot...finally someone using Malwarebytes, is it the Pro version?

No, it's not. I've been meaning to try the Pro version though.
-
I think Malwarebytes isnt as good as it used to be. I remember the days where it found everything, but it seems to pick up less and less these days

We use that too.

@IRJ have you used the new 2.0 version? Also was it the free version or the Pro version.

I really don't like the new 2.0 interface! when I installed it for the first time the other day.. I thought I somehow downloaded some malware...

@technobabble in all honesty I don't do use it that much. I usually just install the latest version after the Pc has been infected. I remember a few years ago, it got almost everything immediately. The last few times I've used it, it's picked up some of stuff, but I've had to pick the pieces manually
-
@IRJ gotcha...the issue is PUP, potentially unwanted programs. Basically from what I have read, to prevent being sued PUPs are come up in the list for you to remove but are not pre-checked because you might have actually wanted conduit or some other crap on your PC. And Pro actually finds this stuff in real time, preventing you from having to check off 300 boxes later.
