    Anti-malware, potential conflict


    I have an HP desktop computer running Win 10. I have some anti-malware/security apps such as Malwarebytes premium, System Mechanic Ultimate Defense, Glary Utilities 5, and of course Windows Defender Firewall. My question is which to use for what and how to avoid conflicts.


    Thanks to all who might respond.

    Here is wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukah, and or a joyous Kwanza as appropriate.

    McAffee and Emsisoft Anti Malware

    I personally use Emsisoft Anti-Malware and IMO it is far better than McAfee...

    If you decide to use Emsisoft, please make sure to fully uninstall McAfee with the help of their specific removal tool from this List
    of anti-malware product removal tools     before you install Emsisoft.

    Suggestion to read:


    FYI:

    I've asked a moderator to remove the best buy link in your post. If you want to buy Emsisoft Anti Malware then it's best to go directly to their site: emsisoft.com

    Potential Malware?

    Hello - While updating my Mozilla browser yesterday the below link appeared and downloaded to my PC and the C prompt appeared with a progress monitor that went right to 100% then closed. Since then when I run the Microsoft Malware and Anti Virus protection
    a message now appears that my PC might have have malware or a potential virus but non are ever identified upon the scan completing. It does appear the scan (Both quick and full) are taking longer than prior to this download. Below is the link that appears
    in my download history. Any suggestions? Just trying to prevent my nice laptop from being ruined.
