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
8) ::) :D ;) :)

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 :)
-
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 :)
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 :( 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 :(

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 :(
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 :(
Bye :(
