    I just updated my AV software to Bitdefender(the "best" AV out there)

    But before I could, it forced me uninstall MalwareBytes.

    What does Microsoft have against MalwareBytes eh? ;-)

    What does MS have to do with this? The people at bitdefender have determined tht their AV doesn't work alongside MBAM, so they tell you you have to uninstall MBAM to use bitedefender. What's so hard to understand about that?

    Try this ,,you should be able to have Mbam Free. 1.Open BitDefender
    2.Click Options and select Expert View
    In Expert View,
    3.Click on Firewall on the left, then click on Programs
    4.Click on Add Rule and make 2 rules: one for mbam.exe and one for mbamservice.exe.

    So do you think it's not a smart idea to have them both installed?

    I have been using MBAM for a very long time, and I was also using it in the malware removal steps on this website.

    But I guess I might not need it now..............

    I think I will ask BitDefender the question to see what the answer is. They have good customer service. :)
