Avast free and Malwarebytes version 3

nana3 · 2017-06-06T01:22:45.000Z

Hi, I just installed MB 3 and need to exclude MB 3, 2 Malwarebytes folders and files (6 drivers) in Avast. I don’t know where to put these exclusions in Avast. In addition to the Settings>General, I have 3 components installed = File Shield - Behavior Shield and Web Shield.

So where do I have to exclude the below items in Avast? In General and or one of the 3 Components in Avast ? Exclusions which have to be entered into Avast are shown below.

Exclude the following 2 folders:
C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware
C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService

Exclude the following files:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbae64.sys
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MBAMChameleon.sys
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MBAMSwissArmy.sys
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mwac.sys
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\farflt.sys

Thank you in advance!!

Thank you Asyn. I did put the 2 folders in File System Shield. So that was ok.

Tried to find the 6 drivers in File System Shield but could not find the drivers in there. So I looked for it in Behavior Shield and had no problem finding the 6 drivers so I put them in there. Hope that that is okay. If it’s not then please advise!

Funny that a Malwarebytes advisor told me to ask Avast for advice on this particular subject and then you in turn providing a link from Malwarebytes.

You’re welcome.
