The product was directly conceived by Malwarebytes’ founder and CEO Marcin Kleczynski, himself a former computer technician. The software also uses Malwarebytes Chameleon, a product designed to neutralise modern malware’s automatic countermeasures. Techbench automatically quarantines all malicious software on the USB stick to prevent reinfection. It even offers the option to install a copy of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware automatically when the scan finishes.

Simply plug in the Malwarebytes Techbench USB stick, check a few boxes, and it detects and removes malware automatically. Techbench is designed to be a ‘plug-in-and-leave’ solution for technicians looking to address the growing volume of tenacious malware which is resistant to traditional anti-virus and hard to remove.

Dubbed ‘the technician’s best friend’, the 16GB USB simply needs to be plugged into the infected computer, before it automatically scans and removes even the most advanced Trojans, spyware, worms and other malicious software.
