Windows 10: Malwarebytes Pro and Windows Defender

Hi there


I always used Windows Defender and no other antivirus for ages and never had problems.

However, to perform a short scan for Malwares on my PC I bought the pro version of Malwarebytes Pro


I would like to know if keeping it installed but keeping it "not active" I mean not in background and not to start on boot, can cause security fails and incompatibility with Windows Defender.


It is better to Un-install it?


Many thanks in advance!

:)

 

Defender disabled by Malwarebytes?

Windows 10 accepts Malwarebytes as complete antivirus, and will not allow full Defender to work.

Yet, according to many searches Malwarebytes is not considered to be a complete antivirus.

I had to remove Malwarebytes from my laptop to get Defender to work fully.

Any suggestions about how to use complete Defender while running Malwarebytes

Moved from Windows 10

Is Windows defender and Malwarebytes pro enough? (Win10)


Hi:

For most users and most computers with most of the popular AVs, it's not necessary to set mutual exclusions between Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (MBAM) Premium and the AV.

But each computer is unique.

If you wish to set those exclusions, the steps below outline the process for MBAM exclusions in the AV and the screen cap below shows an example of excluding the AV's folder in MBAM.

Cheers,
MM
