  Malwarebytes Premium conflict with Windows Defender?

  Posted by Robert on 09/05/2020 at 10:13 AM

  I recall several years ago Kim mentioning that Malwarebytes Premium could conflict with an existing antivirus program. I am currently running Windows 10 latest release (2004), using a combination of Windows Defender and Malwarebytes Free version as my internet security.

  If I upgrade to Malwarebytes Premium, will this create a conflict with Windows Defender? Also, my internet provider offers McAfee Internet Security free. Am I better off to use McAfee instead of Windows Defender, and if I do, would there be a conflict between McAfee and Malwarebytes Premium?

  Robert, I would stay away from McAfee, even though it is free, it often become a resource hog slowing down your pc. Malwarebytes Premium should be compatible to run alongside Windows Defender, but really you should only have one real time A/V product running, using the other for secondary scans.
