May be the real-time protection of AVG found it out first than MWB. That was a bit unusual.Īfter MWB finished scan I searched in the quarantine for the trojan file that AVG detected and it wasn’t there. While MWB was performing scan AVG popped out a message saying it found a threat. And, surprisingly it found out more than 30 viruses and trojans that AVG couldn’t find. But, then I installed MWB and scanned my PC. So, as the word is still stuck in people’s head, the security companies use the word anti-virus and some don’t like the MWB.) My experience with MalwarebytesĪVG did a pretty good job in tracking down viruses. Just, like the biological term virus does it infects other parts of the human body.
And the term virus can be defined as malicious code in software that infects other softwares and spreads that malicious code. Like stealing passwords, mass spam emailing,etc. Technically malware term can be defined as a malicious code in a software that does harmful work on your PC without your permission. Taking a look in the internet security history, in 1980s and 90s when PCs were becoming dominant there was no specific term like malware so people started using the word virus and it got stuck. Including other subsets like rootkits, trojans and worms. Actually, Viruses are a subset of Malware. Are malware and virus both same terms? – Here’s an article explaining difference between virus and malware.
That is what the actual aim of the software. It should be popular because it tracked out the malware that my anti-virus couldn’t.
