Malwarebytes Detects Pirates, Asks Them Not to Steal Software

[starforce]

Aside from detecting intrusive and harmful software on people’s computers, the anti-malware application Malwarebytes is also able to detect which users are running a pirated version. While some software vendors might respond aggressively to unauthorized users, the San Jose company takes a more gently approach in the belief that every user contributes to the success of the software, pirates included.

MBAM is a very good anti-malware software. The paid version only contains the pro-active defense and isn't really needed for just a scan-and-remove once in a while.

Using it for years now, great software!

Malwarebytes is also able to detect which users are running a pirated version.

incorrect, they just detect known packers & co. (usually known as false positives), assuming they are used for packing cracks & co. without knowing their actual/particular purpose

While some software vendors might respond aggressively to unauthorized users, the San Jose company takes a more gently approach in the belief that every user contributes to the success of the software, pirates included.

because they know that cracked (useful) apps eventually become (much) more popular and some of those users will eventually pay for a full software version if they think its reasonable to do so

unfortunately, this company is intentionally spreading misinformation (or more correctly: disinformation) about what they actually detect, what stealing is/means, shoving accusations in-your-face and downplaying their attitude with some annoying/pointless workarounds,... thus showing their real face, while knowing that the majority of their competitors & colleagues from related branches have very similar opinions regarding these issues

what they hope is, among others, that no one will refuse to support them based on their deceptive & dishonest actions, that users don't care about company integrity, that they can get away with insults & disrespecting the users (just like the entertainment industry got away with those fbi warnings on retail dvd's, whereas the users should have boycotted such products and demanded respect & proper product contents, just like the governments got away with,... - notice the pattern here)
