Malwarebytes and Avast

I plan to use Malwarebytes with avast but
is there any conflict when using Malwarebytes along with Avast?
Malwarebytes is strong or not?

You can use it. They do not conflict with avast. It’s a very good product.
Are you going to use the paid (resident) or the free (on demand) MBAM?

I’m going to use free Malwarebytes. It doesn’t has realtime protection. I wonder if the realtime protection always causes conflicts?

No it does not conflict.
But, I use only the free MBAM also. For me, the on demand scanning is enough.

thanks for you opinion. I will install Malwarebytes right now

by the way, malwarebytes DOES have realtime protection - the paid version lets you schedule updates, schedule scans with auto-fixes, and blocks malicious websites before your browser actually loads them. i highly recommend considering buying the paid version, the low cost is well worth it

;D I am using avast with MAM copyrights are running very smooth, no conflict will occur

bryon,

Agree completely. I have the pro version too and it doesn’t conflict with Avast at all. If you have a suspect program and it is a false positive, just add it to the Ignore List and no worries.

Before that, i used clamwin portable along with avast. It not bad :slight_smile:

It can cause conflicts : I use both (free) and each time I scan with MALWAREBYTES ANTIMALWARES, AVAST finds false positives during the MBAM scan !

MBAM (On Demand) and Avast just work fine together. I have never before heard of this FP detection you are writing about.
So I think it must be in your Avast-settings maybe.
Did you alter the settings or do you have the default Avast settings employed?

Hello,
Thank you for the answer :slight_smile:
I have the default settings, I never change any settings.

Thats odd.
What and where are the files that are the FPs?
And what Version of Avast are you using? 4, 5, 6.0.1000 or 6.0.1044?

It happened with AVAST 5 and now it happens with the newest version 6.0.1044.

It always finds an element from Firefox as FP. It doesn’t finds it as FPs each time but often. I already posted here about this FP and someone from the AVAST lab told me it is a FP.
So AVAST keeps on finding it sometimes :frowning: And always during the MBAM scans !

Does not happen on my system. I’m using FF 4 and 6.0.1044 and MBAM.
Maybe one of your FF add-ons or plug-ins?

Yes, it comes from the add-ons, but there are no malicious add-ons. Sometimes AVAST considers it as a malware, sometimes not :frowning:

I use FF 3.6.16 and don’t see that with Avast 6.0.1.1000 and MalwarebytesPro 1.50.1.1000. Which versions are you using?

I have the latest versions of MBAM and AVAST but it happens since a few months, so it happened with AVAST 5 too :frowning:

But … I am sorry to say that … but I uninstalled AVAST and I installed another antivirus, because there are too many problems with the new AVAST version, I can’t search anything on my computer with the search tool … it made firefox too slow …
So it is my last message here :frowning:

Bye :frowning:
