Thanks for that, I confirmed I have that part correct. What I have not found searching so far is the same type of list of Avast Internet Security files to put into MBAM 3.0. Is that posted anywhere? Thanks!
on edit: as a note I thought about adding the entire Avast installation folder to MBAM 3.0 exclusions, but was told that was a bad idea for some reason. It was stated that adding the specfic Avast files to be excluded was better. Then just make sure those file names are not changed/added to in future releases. I did look in the Avast program file folder, but there are 18 executable file there! I suppose I could add all of those to MBAM 3.0, but that may be overkill or unnecessary? Maybe only specific files are needed to be excluded?
