Can i use MBAM Pro with Avast Suite
« on: June 12, 2011, 05:54:43 PM »
Can I use both? Do I need to put avast on ignore list? Or do they work together? Thanks

Yes you can run both together, exclusions ? being the suite i would probably add them but may not be needed, if you notice any problems then add the exclusions.

Yes that is the MBAM line, but in reality it can be a different story.

I have MBAM Pro on XP Pro and win7 systems and the only exclusion I have set up is to stop MBAM scanning the folder where avast unpacks/scans files, c:\windows\temp\_avast_. I make no other allowances in either MBAM or avast and I have not had a problem.

You need to set exclusions: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=10138&st=0&p=417798&#entry417798

Thanks for the info, but is this for the old Mbam? Because I read in "Introducing \New Official Avast Program Update 6.0.1125" that - solved a compatibility problem with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro. I was just wandering, and it seems to be running fine. I am a novice to computers, so any info will help.

Thanks again for your help.

Other than the exclusion I mentioned on the avast working folder where it unpacks and scans content (c:\windows\temp\_avast_), then I wouldn't pre-empt any problem and set exclusions unless you do experience an issue.

I use AIS and MBAM(PRO) and have had no problems whatsoever. I have added the exclusions to both AIS & MBAM just to be sure. I am very happy with them both :)

I don't mean to annoy you, but could you tell me step by step on how to do that?
Thanks for your patience.

Open up the MBAM GUI and click on the ignore list then the add button and navigate to the path DavidR supplied  c drive / windows / temp / avast  highlight and click ok.

Thank You, I did what you said, but i saw two Avast files one of them is c drive / windows / temp / avast and the other is c drive / windows / temp / avast 5 I did both. Should I be concerned or do you think it does not matter?
Thanks again

If you did a clean install the _avast5_ folder related to the old installation (should be empty) and is redundant. The new c:\windows\temp\_avast_ folder is for the new/clean installation of avast.

That is exactly what happened.
