Malware Programs

Win 10 OS.
Is it ok to run both Malwarebytes (paid version) and IObit malware fighter (free version)? I know the rule is to ONLY USE ONE REALTIME BLOCKER. Just want to be sure.

 

Thank you!

 

Still a little confused, Tim. Is Malwarebytes considered an adequate anitvirus (malware vs. AV?) As mentioned, I'm running the paid version. I was also running Comodo antivirus, (incorrectly apparently as that gave me 2 AV's), and dropped it after just reading in the "freeware section" that Windows Defender is now considered an excellent AV choice. After then dropping Comodo AV, I checked my win security and found that Win considered Malwarebytes an antivirus and Win Def was not running. Long story short, am I ok running the paid version of Malwarebytes as my one AV?

Thanks again.

 

Windows Defender is free keep it active.

Just stick with Malwarebytes as a secondary.You don't need all them AV software.I agree with tim.

 

The problem is I can’t activate win def with MBytes running as it considers it an AV. Should I just go back to Running both Comodo AV along with MBytes? Actually been doing this for years w/o problems. As they say I guess, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

 

Thanks, guys...

 

I found the answer on the web - Malwarebytes registers with Windows Defender as primary AV program. Go into Malwarebytes settings, turn off "always register with Windows Defender". Malwarebytes will continue to run and play nice with WD

 

Thank You...
