Do I need Malware protection

[CYinVT]

With my Avast Premium Security subscription, do I still need to use Malware Bytes, or am I protected by my Avast subscription?

Thank you,
Cindy

Do I need Malware protection

If you have a premium version of any antivirus program or Malwarebytes then you have full protection (well nothing is 100%)
Program name is just that a name .... could have been named anything

Malware = short for "Malicious software" meaning all programs that can harm your computer, like computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, rogue software, and scareware.....

So all virus are malware, but all malware is not virus

As stated by Pondus, you should be well protected by Avast Premium.
If you do encounter malware, you can always download Malwarebytes (free version) and then run a on-demand scan for a second opinion if needed.
It is advised not to have two Antivirus/Anti-malware products active together on your system at one time.

As i said above malware is not a special type of bug, it is a name that covers evrything
