  • Which Avast…? (Free/Pro/IS/Premier)
  • Which version…?
  • OS…? (32/64 Bit…? - which SP/Build…?)
  • Other security related software installed…?

Avast premier 17.4.2292, Win 7 ultimate 64 bit, not sure about service pack.

I have malwarebytes premium with all its shields running, superantispyware but I run it on demand.
Hope we can solve this, I liked having the avast anti spam running :slight_smile:

Repair Avast:

  1. Control Panel → Add/Remove programs → Avast
  2. Click on ‘Repair’.
  3. Follow instructions.
  4. Reboot.

OK did that. Is there any way to adjust either MAB or Avast so I can keep MWB?

As has been explained in other threads here and on the MBam webboard, set a exclusion for Mbam in avast and visa versa.
