Hi WhizzKidRaJ, welcome to the forum :)
Well, I do the same as you : Running AIS and MBAM in realtime, and SAS only on-demand. Running both MBAM and SAS in realtime is overkill in my opinion.

I agree.
You may have to exclude MBAM processes from the avast! firewall though.

We can't see them without opening an off-forum link, by attaching the images to the forum post, we can see them within the actual post.
It makes life easier for those viewing/helping and easier for you as you don't have to upload them to a file share and post the link in the topic.
For some reason I can't enlarge the image and the quality isn't god without that.
-
I recommend excluding the SAS and MBAM processes (.exe files) in avast to avoid false positives though.
Otherwise, your setup is like mine.
-
I honestly see no pint in this, I have SAS Pro and MBAM free and have had them for some time and haven't excluded them in any avast version that I had with them installed.
Personally I don't pre-empt trouble/problems, but react to any problem, should it arise.

Not necessarily. SAS and MBAM do encrypt their definitions signatures and do not conflict with avast (on contrary, Panda does not encrypt them, for instance).

The WhizzKid has Avast Internet Security 5.1.889 licensed + Malwarebytes 1.50.1 Pro
He needs to follow the same procedure that AVG needs:

They look like you set up AIS OK. 8)
I would recommend a better image capture application as your images are hard to see.
I use FastStone Capture 5.3

A trick for next time, don't have the avastUI set on Full Screen, have it on the smallest size. That will still be able to show what is relevant and will reduce the size of the image file, also allowing for more images to be placed in the post. This also helps those users still stuck on dial-up as up until 4 months ago and large images were a real pain.
Or you can also crop images to show only what is relevant or you can also use a different image format which tends to be smaller than the .jpg format. I use the .gif format as it is generally smaller with out having to edit/optimize and the quality is fine for the purpose, see example of one of your images captured with the avastUI at its smallest and using the .gif format
