Every product we make is built on that premise. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve been hard at work on the latest version of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malwarebytes.com\/premium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Malwarebytes for Windows (opens in a new tab)\">Malwarebytes for Windows<\/a> that not only sports a whole new look, but packs cutting-edge detection methods into a lightweight, lightning-fast program. <\/p>\n<p>We proudly present: Malwarebytes 4.0.<\/p>\n<p>Malwarebytes 4.0 signifies a big step forward in the fight against online crime. It uses smarter technologies to quickly identify stealthy malware and scan faster than ever\u2014all with 50 percent less impact on CPU during scans.<\/p>\n<h3>Malwarebytes 4.0: What\u2019s improved<\/h3>\n<p>Our first step in taking malware defense to the next level was making important improvements to our existing Malwarebytes for Windows technologies. They include: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improved zero-hour detection that pinpoints new threats as they arise<\/li>\n<li>Upgraded behavioral detection capabilities that catch more diverse      threats\u2014even those that use <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/glossary\/signature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"signature (opens in a new tab)\">signature<\/a> evasion <\/li>\n<li>Improved overall performance and scan speed<\/li>\n<li>Redesigned User Interface (UI) for easier, more intuitive      functionality<\/li>\n<li>Simplified Windows Security Center integration settings<\/li>\n<li>Enhanced web protection technology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Malwarebytes 4.0: What\u2019s new<\/h3>\n<p>Malwarebytes 4.0 introduces Katana, our brand-new detection engine that uses patented, dynamic methods to recognize zero-hour, often <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/glossary\/polymorphism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"polymorphic (opens in a new tab)\">polymorphic<\/a> malware even before it\u2019s released in the wild. These same methods have been optimized with a faster threat definition process, so they\u2019re not only smarter and more accurate, but using them results in faster scans while taking up less CPU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolymorphic threats have changed the game in cybersecurity. By the time traditional antivirus creates a signature for these threats, it can be too late. Cybersecurity providers need to stay ahead of the game by recognizing potential threats before they can cause damage,\u201d said Akshay Bhargava, Chief Product Officer at Malwarebytes. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMalwarebytes 4.0 is designed to block these evolving threats in record time using innovative detection technology. Our new intuitive user interface helps customers more easily engage with their cybersecurity. Furthermore, the new engine is optimized and requires 50 percent less of the CPU while scanning.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A new look and more integrations<\/h3>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"40942\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/malwarebytes-news\/2019\/11\/announcing-malwarebytes-4-0-smarter-faster-and-lighter\/attachment\/mb4-premium1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MB4-Premium1.png\" data-orig-size=\"1776,1292\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MB4 &#8211; Premium1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MB4-Premium1-300x218.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MB4-Premium1-600x436.png\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MB4-Premium1-600x436.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MB4-Premium1-600x436.png 600w, https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MB4-Premium1-300x218.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The redesigned UI of Malwarebytes 4.0 is more informative, intuitive, and simple to navigate.
