    Defender disabled by Malwarebytes?

    [Merged]

    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

  3. Windows defender's process running despite it being disabled.

    Windows Defender is integrated within Windows 10. So you have it and it is running (as it should be) unless you installed a 3rd party "real-time" anti-malware solution. If you are using an alternative security solution, it should have registered itself with Windows Action Center which would then disable the real-time component of Windows Defender - unless you specifically told the 3rd party solution not to register itself.

    For example, if you purchased Malwarebytes "Premium", it has a real-time scanner (the free version does not). When you install Malwarebytes Premium, it registers itself in Windows Action Center. But because Malwarebytes and Windows Defender play very well together without hogging resources or causing conflicts, it is often recommended to allow each to run at the same time. So to allow that, the user has to manually go into the Malwarebytes control panel Settings menu and select the option to "Never register Malwarebytes in the Windows Action Center".

    I suspect other 3rd party solutions provide similar options so you might check that out if you did indeed, install a 3rd party security solution.

    Both Windows Update and Windows Defender are supposed to step way back in to the background so they do not interfere with system performance when you are actively using your computer. But this is not always possible, especially if you regularly shut down your computer when you step away from it (instead of just letting it go to sleep), as too much time may have passed and your system is too far behind in Windows and security updates.

    Without you noting which program was actually consuming the lion's share of that 80%, there's no way to tell what, at this point, was causing the problem. However, I would not put it past a browser. Chrome, for example, is very good (or bad, I should say) at eating up a lot of RAM and failing to let it go when exited.

  4. RUN Windows Defender simultaneously with Malwarebytes

    Windows Defender and Malwarebytes for windows 10

    From the first day I owned this computer, with windows 8 OS, to today when I have upgrade to windows 10 OS I have been able to run both windows defender and Malwarebytes together with no issues. That is until sometime after January 4, 2018 and the update
    from Microsoft.

    And I believe Microsoft even updated windows defender in 2016 to allow another antivirus/antimalware program to run simultaneously.

    I have real-time protection turned on for both program but I don't run automatic scans. I try to run a Malwarebytes antimalware full scan daily because it runs so much faster than windows defender quick scan. If necessary I would run a quick scan with windows
    defender but not since January 4th.

    Thanks for your response though,

    Bob
