Compatibility issues
« on: March 30, 2011, 09:17:28 PM »
From yesterday using Malwarebytes Pro version

1) Avast! updating VDB as usually - then system locked-up and computer said: "Microsoft Windows 7 doesn't respond. Terminate app?", clicked "No", after 2-3 secs same question... I clicked OK then. But still getting same question. Restarted computer and all is OK now.

2) Downloading "suspicious" file - Malwarebytes blocked a dangerous file...blah...blah...blah and then something about AvastSvc.exe. Huh...

The question: Is malwarebytes resident shield compatible with Avast! and Outpost security ?

There should never be more than one resident antivirus-software running simultaneously.

That's an endless source for problems.

You have overlapping security for starters.

I heard that too, however I don't like multiple AV-Scanner working residently.
And it is overkill. MBAM is great once you get hit, but when you use Avast with all relevant shields... it never happend to me.

Cooperate. Yes.
Necessary or mandatory. No.
MBAM is quite good in new malware ITW. It removes old malware from the database to avoid it gets so big. They still not developed the incremental updates...
avast keeps the protection for old and new.

There is a huge difference between working fine together and working fine under a malware attack. Have you actually tested it out? Have you gone over to MDL and downloaded about 20 links and see what happens.

You maybe be able to have to fighting pit bulls together in the same room tired up. But when you untie them look out. Anytime two programs fight over the same malware someone losses. That someone being the user. The only thing MBAM Pro is really good for is IP blocking. But using a secure DNS takes care of that without adding additional processes.

Talking to you is like talking to a Bit Bull!  ::)

Yes I have tried MDL!

Maybe you should become a member of MBAM forum and see how many problems there are between MBAM and avast!

I also run both of them together on my three system's 1 xp and 2 win7 64's  and also just about every system i look after and never an issue, MBAM is not an av so it does play nicely with most av's but if your having a problem you may need to add the exclusion's to the file system shield, i also add MBAM to the trusted processes in BhS just to be safe.
