...bought version of MBAM has a real-time scanner.
Hmm..I paid the one time fee for MBAM's real-time scanner.
Will that create a problem with Avast?
Sorry, I should have made it clear I was not only applying "But it SHOULDN'T conflict at all with your current av. It's usually when you get two anti-virus programs using real-time that conflict. Like ESET's Nod32 and avast!" to SAS only. I did mean MBAM. I have never used their real-time shields and have never checked into it.
With that said, I'm not sure what their real-time shield does. I think,if I'm not mistaken (and yokenny can correct me if I'm wrong, as he has more experience in that area than I do.) it monitors your memory for active infections and stops you from connecting to known malware sites.
So no, It shouldn't be a problem with avast.
It's having two AV's running at the same time (like I have posted before, for example) that conflict. Reason being, they wan't to fight over who gets to do what when an infection is found.
Hope I cleared it up
