## About

Anti-malware and cybersecurity software for threat detection and real-time protection

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria. A community test in March 2026 confirmed that the main Malwarebytes site loads and account creation works, but the store is blocked by a Cloudflare firewall and the company displays an explicit restriction page listing Syria as a sanctioned country where downloads and purchases are unavailable. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
