Anti-Malware (Classic) Overview

Note: The module previously called Anti-Malware in 9.2 is now called Anti-Malware (Classic) in 9.3 and later versions. Upgrading the VSA to 9.3 or later causes agent machines installed with the MalwareBytes client to continue to be managed using Anti-Malware (Classic) just as they were before in earlier releases. Starting with 9.3 an enhanced Anti-Malware module was made available and is recommended over the older product. To migrate agents from Anti-Malware (Classic) to the enhanced Anti-Malware module, reinstall over the existing installation of MalwareBytes from the enhanced Anti-Malware module. Profile settings are not migrated. Contact support if you would like assistance migrating profile settings.

Anti-Malware (Classic) (KAM) provides Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Pro endpoint security for managed machines. Anti-Malware (Classic) can be installed independently of Endpoint Security or Antivirus (Classic). Anti-Malware (Classic) is particularly adept at detecting and preventing ScareWare or Rogue Antivirus spyware that installs a virus, then attempts to bill the user to remove it.

Anti-Malware (Classic) quickly detects, destroys, and blocks malicious software. Every process is monitored and malicious processes are stopped before they even start. Scanning and realtime protection both use advanced heuristic scanning technology to keep systems safe and secure against even the latest malware threats.

• Support for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit).
• Light speed quick scanning.
• Ability to perform full scans for all drives.
• Database updates released daily protect against the newest malware in-the-wild.
• Intelligent heuristics detect even the most persistent malware while remaining light on system resources.
• Realtime protection monitors filesystem and internet traffic.
• Scheduler to keep protection up-to-date automatically.
• Quarantine to hold threats and restore them at your convenience.
• Ignore list for both the scanner and the protection module.
• Threats are quarantined automatically.
• No reboot required after install.
• Protection controls entire machine, beyond individual accounts.
• Supports exclusions of files, folders, registry keys and values, and IP4 addresses.
• Policy Management can manage the assignment of Anti-Malware (Classic) profiles.

LAN Cache

LAN Cache enables multiple machines to retrieve the same files from a local LAN machine instead of repeatedly downloading them from the Kaseya Server. This reduces network bandwidth issues. Files downloaded for Anti-Malware (Classic) endpoints—except for Malwarebytes Signature file updates—use LAN Cache automatically, if LAN Cache is already configured for those endpoints. No additional configuration in Anti-Malware (Classic) is required. See Agent > LAN Cache for more information.
