OMG
Comodo Firewall - Had Problems, needed to uninstall
Outpost Security - Uninstall??
What firewall is compatible? No one?
User has already purchased MBAM, like I said earlier read the posts properly 
as for additional memory/process usage - MBAM and SAS are both super light processes, right now MBAM uses only 3200k of RAM - while running in the background.
as for danny, money well spent! its totally worth it for a one-time purchase
IE…Anyone who has a brain does not use IE.
Check my post again, I said it MIGHT be the fault best thing to do is to contact the outpost FW customer support
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm MBAM uses more ram then that. I just enabled real time and its two processes take up 95MB of ram using Process Hacker.
Ahhh, I see… why’s that? Just being curious…
If you have to ask a question like that then you need to go back to security school. Chrome and Firefox have been safer for years now. Firefox 4.0 w/ABP and No Script is more secure then IE 9,8,7 all day long. Heck IE 9 does not even have a free ad blocker addon.
Did you add exclusion’s to avast for your firewall and allow all instances of avast in the firewall danny ? as im using OP Firewall Pro with no issue’s and DavidR use’s OP as well.
There are, I believe, also politeness-schools available.
As well as other installation I can imagine you fitting in perfectly. ;D
Just wanted to know on what facts your statement was based. Now I know. Thank you for the answer.
Dieselman, I made a post in another topic - HIPS, where everyone went way off topic and started swearing at eachother. In my post I had a message for you, obviously you havent read it. I will copy paste it here.
@ dieselman - true enough you helped others ( atleast thats what you thought you did) but be a bit more considerate about others when you post a reply, you come out a bit too strong and a bit too self-righteous which can annoy others… So here after when you reply be a bit more “friendly”… Go through other posts and see how the other forum members help people. You can now take a cheap shot at me or read and understand what I said. Upto you my friend. Please note that this post was made earlier.
You seem to be very arrogant which annoys others. This topic was opened by Danny and he was asking about MBAM and Avast compatibility issues, theres no reason for you to insult him like that. Is this what you call “helping others” when you said thats what you do in forums ? You can never post a reply in a decent manner can you? Also about IE, he didnt ask about IE, he was asking about MBAM. If you don’t like IE you can start a thread elsewhere and start thrashing it, but not here.
Also read reply #18 of this topic.
cheers!
It would help others along with alot of you if you simply did your homework. Can Avast and MBAM Pro place nice together. Yes. But MBAM’s power comes from its on demand scanning. Its real time protection is very poor. ALl you really need to stay safe is a real time antivirus and firewall. Then lock down your system with a hardening tool such as Emet 2.0. If you want more protection then simply add a sandbox such as Sandboxie or BufferZone. MBAM is a fantastic on demand scanner. It is a second opinion scanner to use if your real time protection misses something. Go around and watch the reviews on MBAM Pro and you will notice what I am saying. Clear Cloud can have false positives. I had 2. I submitted them and within 24 hours it was cleared up. Also there is OpenDNS.
Here is a good review. See how MBAM did not find anything till it scanned. Sure it blocked known bad IP’s but so does a secure dns.
There you go again Dieselman, trying to belittle people with your post’s again just because they use ie and the 9 version come’s with tracking protection, active x filtering, popup blocking and smart screen filter which does make it quite secure.
Your smugness and arrogance and total lack of respect toward’s other member’s here is disgusting and it’s no wonder there is alot of profanity throwen in your direction, you would think that someone like your self would be used to abuse and swearing.
Im sure multiple people in this forum would like you to crawl back into the hole that you came from as you are thoughly disliked on this forum and i dare say that is the general consensis to the other forum’s you took part in, i for one would not urinate on you if you were on fire so do us all a favour and leave.
LOL…all of these which you mentioned tracking protection, active x filtering, popup blocking and smart screen filter have been around since IE 8. The tracking protection was there but been improved since IE 8. IE still lacks an ad blocker and script blocking. IE is also the most attacked web browser. Ask any security professional how to stay safe and they will tell you “Use an alternative browser”. Even MajorGeeks tells you this. Google safe surfing and you will see the same advice. One of the first steps in making the step to safe surfing is using an alternative browser such as Firefox,Chrome or Opera. I would think members with a lot of stars next to there names would know this by now.
Notice something…Not once have a swore. Wanna know why? Maturity my friend.
@dieselman
Internet Explorer is also good & safe browser. All these security features were updated and improved so browser is even more secure. It’s also more faster. But! this has nothing to do with my topic, so please start a new topic about browsers where you can spam as you want to. This was the last sentence about browsers so please shut up. Or as I said, create new topic.
About your video on youtube
Video was created on 1.07.2010
Don’t you think that something changed? For example that malwarebytes’ is now better?
Thats not my video and there are others like it. Same results. MBAM is one of the best on demand scanners. That is what is made for for originally. To pick up the slack where your av left off. Test it for yourself over at MDL.
… : >:(
You people are funny. You all think adding on more protection is better. Well sorry to say thats not the truth. Wilders Security is a great place for info. If you enable UAC,DEP,SEHOP, and ASLR you are already more protected then most. Just use Emet 2.0 and enable protection for any browsers or p2p programs.
Ask yourselves this…Why are you using Avast if you think you need MBAM Pro to back it up? Should you feel confident enough in Avast’s protection? I sure do.
Avast! + Malwarebytes’ Pro are certified combination. They should cooperate and create a good protection.
I fixed the problem -
solution is very simple, disable malwarebytes’ web shield - avast!'s network+web shields are better I think
Good idea danny boy but you still have a program using 95MB of ram and adding on two additional processes for what? Nothing.
I think it boils down to personal preference.
On one machine, that is shared, I have avast Free, and MBAM free which I (try to ;)) scan with regularly, and keep up with things on it.
On another, all I have is avast Free and Winpatrol Free.
I am comfortable with these setups, but given the option, I possibly would take the pro version of MBAM for the shared pc at least, but not having ever used MBAM pro, I can’t really judge anything about it.
For me, the detections from each (while they may overlap, and cause some issues - understandable) are different. (for instance MBAM pro could stop some Rogues from installing before some AVs - that is the point of MBAM after all…)
For a lesser powered machine, the pro version of mbam in conjunction with an AV may not be the best option but the free version is still an option.
That’s my opinion anyway…
Something else I want to add as a general thing to all here. What you use is your choice, based on your opinions. So insulting another user because their opinion differs, is completely uncalled for. Whether you agree or not. The whole point of this thread is to get a balanced view of everyone’s opinions, not to call out each other on what they use.
Seeing loads of thread degenerate into users bickering back and forth at the moment…
