MalwareBytes + SunBelt in strategic partnership

Sunbelt Software, a leading provider of Windows security software, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Malwarebytes, the makers of malware cleaning tools to increase the security of the Internet.

Together, as an initial joint offering, Sunbelt Software and Malwarebytes have created a dedicated Website portal to offer consumers free tools to clean systems which have become so infested with malware that normal PC functions and performance are significantly hindered. The portal is available at http://vipre.malwarebytes.org.

The site will allow users to run Sunbelt's VIPRE® Rescue computer recovery solution, alongside Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware solution. VIPRE Rescue is updated daily and designed specifically to disinfect computers where the installation of any security software for malware remediation is not possible. Visitors to the site are also urged to run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, a leading anti-malware tool, aimed at cleaning up a variety of current and emerging malware threats facing home PCs. Running both tools provides a comprehensive dual-action system cleaning to repair PCs that are inoperable due to entrenched malware infestations.

In addition to this initial first offering, the companies are also working together on a broad range of initiatives for sharing information on emerging threats, methods to mitigate risk, and other joint efforts.
