Malwarebytes: protection that someone actually watches
Antivirus only helps if someone acts on what it finds. We put ThreatDown by Malwarebytes on every computer, and its alerts come straight to us, so a threat gets dealt with the same day, often before you knew it was there.
Last updated
The short answer
ThreatDown is the business edition of Malwarebytes, blocking malware, ransomware, exploits and phishing sites on Windows PCs, Macs and Windows servers, with an EDR edition that can isolate an infected machine and roll back ransomware. WaTo Consulting deploys it remotely, and its alerts go straight to the Adelaide team, who act on them.
What is ThreatDown by Malwarebytes?
ThreatDown is the business edition of Malwarebytes. It blocks malware, ransomware, exploits and dangerous websites on each computer, and reports to a central console. The EDR edition (endpoint detection and response) also watches for suspicious behaviour and can isolate an infected machine and roll back ransomware changes.

Malwarebytes questions
Do I need this if I have Windows Defender?
Defender is a reasonable baseline, but on its own nobody is watching its alerts. With ThreatDown the detections come to our team and get acted on. We'll tell you honestly if Defender is enough for your situation.
Does it work on Macs?
Yes. ThreatDown covers Windows and macOS computers as well as Windows servers.
Standard or EDR?
For most offices handling sensitive data we recommend EDR: it can isolate an infected machine and roll back ransomware changes. Small offices with low risk can start on the standard edition.
