All we can think about is that half star that we didn\u2019t get. Perfection is hardcoded into our company DNA. It has to be.<\/p>\n<p>Because, the way we figure it, a cybercriminal has to be is right only once, on one computer, anywhere on this big spinning top of ours, in order to be successful. And cybercriminals are taking a lot of shots\u2014our products detect approximately three million pieces of malware on millions of devices every day. Every day. Which essentially means our job is never done.<\/p>\n<p>This is the brutal math that keeps us up at night: millions of devices to protect, zero successful malware attacks. So we\u2019re constantly tinkering with the Malwarebytes technology to make it smarter. In fact, the next version of Malwarebytes for Windows, version 3.3, is just around the corner. It\u2019s our best protection yet\u2014and we set that bar very high.<\/p>\n<p>Now don\u2019t get us wrong: We\u2019re thankful and humbled by CNET\u2019s recognition. Four and a half stars means we\u2019re doing a really fine job delivering a malware-free existence to our customers, but that remaining half star is on our minds, no doubt.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/malwarebytes-news\/2017\/10\/when-an-outstanding-rating-from-cnet-isnt-enough\/\">When an &#8220;Outstanding&#8221; rating from CNET isn&#8217;t enough<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\">Malwarebytes Labs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/malwarebytes-news\/2017\/10\/when-an-outstanding-rating-from-cnet-isnt-enough\/\" target=\"bwo\" >https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/feed\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Credit to Author: Eric Fairbanks| Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 17:28:43 +0000<\/strong><\/p>\n<table cellpadding='10'>\n<tr>\n<td valign='top' align='center'><a href='https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/malwarebytes-news\/2017\/10\/when-an-outstanding-rating-from-cnet-isnt-enough\/' title='When an \"Outstanding\" rating from CNET isn't enough'><img src='https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/award.jpg' border='0'  width='300px'  \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign='top' align='left'>The editors at CNET\/Download.com recently awarded Malwarebytes for Windows with an \u201coutstanding\u201d rating of 4.5 stars.
