Malwarebytes Reaffirms Its Commitment to Fight Junk Software
With the acquisition of Junkware Removal Tool, security company Malwarebytes reaffirmed its commitment to fight and protect against potentially unwanted programs (PUPs for short).
Following the acquisition, Malwarebytes will integrate Junkware Removal Tool’s definitions and tactics into its product line.
Junkware Removal Tool, a free tool developed by Filipos Mouliatis, can remove junk software from a Windows-powered PC. It can remove adware, spyware, toolbars, and other potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). It will run a scan, uncover junk software, and then remove it.
Junkware Removal Tool caught our eye back in July of last year. That’s when I put the software to the test, wrote a brief review, and shot a video that shows just how easy it us to use this application. Check it out below.
Junkware Removal Tool must have also caught the eye of security company Malwarebytes, because the company decided to purchase Junkware Removal Tool and integrate its definitions and tactics into its product line.
“Let’s face it, PUPs are a growing problem, and the Junkware Removal Tool is a fantastic addition to strengthen our ability to address them,” said Malwarebytes founder and CEO Marcin Kleczynski. “We’re proud to be integrating this technology. Not only that, Filipos’ creativity and ingenuity are great additions to the Malwarebytes team. With this move and others to come, we’re doubling down on expanding our PUP protections, and our customers will see the benefits very soon.”
Filipos Mouliatis will join Malwarebytes Labs in Houston, Texas.
“Malwarebytes is a highly respected anti-malware and anti-exploit company that I’ve known of for years, so I was excited to hear about the possibility of working together,” said Mouliatis. “I look forward to helping further develop software that will destroy potentially unwanted programs such as adware and spyware.”
In a press release, Malwarebytes explained that Junkware Removal Tool will be integrated into the company’s Malwarebytes Anti-Malware over the next few months.
Malwarebytes will not pull the stand-alone Junkware Removal Tool program. Anyone who wants to get it, can do so. Speaking of which, you must know that you can get Junkware Removal Tool right here on FindMySoft.
