Malwarebytes backup service prevents malware uploads

May 7, 2013 – 4:59 AM

Your hard drive crashes. You hit “Save” without thinking and an important version is overwritten and lost forever. Someone accidentally deletes all the wedding pics. You restore an infected file to your new computer and end up having to start all over again.

Stuff happens.

Having a backup is a good idea. Having a backup that you can be confident is completely free of malware is a better idea.

Malwarebytes Secure Backup automatically backs up your important documents, music, photos, and videos to our state-of-the-art online data center. And these files are transmitted using military-grade encryption for complete safety.

But before Malwarebytes Secure Backup uploads a file, it scans the file for malware using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. So now you can confidently save files that you know are clean. And you can share these clean files with friends by simply sending URL links to the files stored at our data centers.

Unlike other backup services, Malwarebytes Secure Backup won’t allow you to back up, restore, or share infected files or malware. It’s just a good idea…made better.
