![]() I would also recommend creating exclusions between Malwarebytes and Your AV to help prevent any possible conflicts or performance issues. Reason: I want to avoid conflict having any antivirus and Malwarebytes both with real time enabled like that I still can use my license. If I deactivate all protections and I schedule a daily scan is this equivalent like having the free version and doing a manual scan? This browser extension performs many of the same functions as the real-time Web Protection module in Malwarebytes Premium, and I personally prefer Malwarebytes Browser Guard over Norton Safe Web.ĭell Inspiron 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v21H2 build 19044.2006 * Firefox v104.0.2 * Microsoft Defender v.7-0.3 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.5.14.210- * Macrium Reflect Free v that I use in both my Firefox and MS Edge browsers. Malwarebytes also offers a free content blocker for browsers called Malwarebytes Browser Guard that blocks adware, tech support scams, trackers, etc. ![]() If I was paying an annual subscription for Norton 360 I suspect I would not pay an additional fee for a Malwarebytes Premium subscription as well (current prices are posted at ) and I would just use Malwarebytes Free to run the occasional on-demand manual scan to look for threats that might have been missed by my Norton antivirus. ![]() I also used to create mutual scan exclusions in both Norton and Malwarebytes to prevent any possible conflicts between the two programs (bjm_ has already posted a link to the Malwarebytes support article Malwarebytes for Windows Antivirus Exclusions List) but I only did that out of habit - I'm not sure creating those mutual scan exclusions was actually necessary.įor full disclosure, I should also mention that I purchased a few perpetual (lifetime) licenses for Malwarebytes Premium in 2009 (Malwarebytes stopped selling perpetual licenses in March 2014) so I don't have to pay an annual subscription fee each year to use Malwarebytes Premium on my computers. My system specs below show I now use Microsoft Defender as my primary antivirus and use Malwarebytes Premium for secondary protection. When that setting is OFF your Norton 360 will have the primary responsibility for malware detection and remediation and Malwarebytes Premium will essentially work as a "backup" to look for any potential threats missed by Norton. This ensures that Norton 360 (or whatever other antivirus you use for real-time protection) is registered with Windows as the main real-time antivirus. As bjm_ suggested, most Norton users who also have Malwarebytes Premium installed will turn OFF (disable) the Malwarebytes setting at Security | Windows Security Center | Always Register Malwarebytes in the Windows Security Center as shown below. I no longer use Norton as my primary antivirus, but I ran Norton Security and Malwarebytes Premium together in real-time protection mode for several years without any major issues. See the Malwarebytes support article Issues Running Other Security Applications and Malwarebytes for Windows which includes a list of third-party antivirus programs that use the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) that could conflict with Malwarebyte Premium's real-time Web Protection feature.
