    Seeking advice running Malwarebytes with Norton 360


    Windows 10 Pro - 2004, OS Build: 19041.746

    Howdy All *Smile

    A couple days ago I had a 'bad actor' try to access my system. Fortunately Norton 360 (and some of my common sense) saved me from a big headache. Studying the history log I was impressed Norton came out on top after seeing the techniques used by the 'other guy'.

    A few years ago I tried Malwarebytes and found it annoying, especially its interaction with Norton, so I uninstalled it.

    I'm looking for any thoughts/comments on whether Malwarebytes and Norton now play well together and for any suggestions configuring both towards that end.

    TIA to all who read this post and to those who reply.
    *Cool

    :)

    Windows Antivirus enabled Norton Antivirus disabled?

    Assuming you've got Norton installed...

    Two suggestions to try.





    I use Malwarebytes Free (also have Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit) with Windows Defender and there are no conflicts.

    But you may want to seek advice from Norton about using Malwarebytes products concurrently with Norton programs

    Norton 360 Firewall Instructions

    So, just to make sure, you have disabled the Norton and it connects OK, e.g. the firewall is the problem? I would say that the settings for the Norton Personal Firewall would be the same for 360 since same manufacturer. You should be able to input the same
    info in 360 somewhere. Sorry, but I'm not familiar with the software so can't give step by step instructions. I guess you could wait for someone to respond that has experience with 360 or go to a Norton forum.

    Belarc installation not allowed by Norton 360

    Are you running two anti-virus products at the same time? MBAMSERVICE is part of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. If it and Norton 360 are active at the same time you could be seeing conflicts between the two products.
