    I have three programs Malwarebytes anti malware,Avast home edition, and Spyware Doctor with antivirus free edition. Are they compatable? should I delete Malwarebytes? (I think avast and spyware doctor are compatable.)

    Welcome to Major Geeks.
    I would KEEP MalwareBytes. One of the best going.
    2 Antivirus programs? definite no-no.

    You should never have more than ONE anti-virus programs installed - nor more than ONE "real time" anti-malware programs installed... those are the only conflicts in the applications listed.

    I can confirm that malwarebytes and AntiVir both monitoring in real time work fine together. I've had this set up on my husband's one computer for months without any problems.
