Malwarebytes Online Service Scans Files for Malware Prior to Backup

Malwarebytes’ Corp.
Secure Backup released after a beta-trial an online backup
service that scans files for malware prior to backup, removing the
threat of saving or sharing infected files.

In addition to protecting files on
their PCs, users can also backup files on their mobile devices
through an app for Android
and iOS.
Users can be confident that even if their devices are lost or damaged
they still have access to backup and can retrieve files.

"Most people think secure
backup solutions like Carbonite or Mozy can be a cure for a
compromised machine after they have trouble," said Marcin
Kleczynski, founder and CEO of Malwarebytes. "The fact is,
backups should be done when the machine is not infected, since
restoring infected data will just re-establish the malware, and
render the backup useless. The malware must be removed before
backup."

In a few steps the software scans for
all documents, photos, music and videos on your system and uploads to
our data center. For more control, you can customize which individual
files and drives you would like include or exclude from the backup.
Backups may be scheduled to run automatically or at regularly
scheduled intervals of your choice, with an option to receive an
email report whenever a backup job ends.

Unlike most backup services, it allows
users to backup as many devices and drives as they want using a
single license. Through the secure backup web management portal,
users can access or download their files from any browser and share
files with others by simply sending a URL to the cloud-hosted file.

For ultimate safe-keeping, all data is
transmitted using encryption and stored within a U.S.-based SSAE 16
(SOC 1) certified data center. Users can use the UltraSafe feature to
create a custom encryption key to ensure that no one else can access
their data.

Malwarebytes Secure Backup supports
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, iOS and Android
platforms.

There are 50GB ($29.95 per year),
100GB ($59.95 per year) or 200GB
($119.95 per year) packages available.
