Avast Premier vs Malwarebytes Premium?
« on: April 22, 2018, 07:44:48 PM »
Are these two entirely different programs? Do I need both. They seem to duplicate some functionality, but not sure what.

I recommend both. One compliments the other. :)

They indeed complement each other well.

Thanks for the speedy replies. I'll keep 'em both. But since I have you on the line, how about AdwCleaner. It seems to be a subset of MALB? (Although, I suppose I should ask this over at their forum.)   ;)

ADW Cleaner is only used if Malware is suspected.

So, MALB would be preventive, and ADC after the fact?
