I checked this link, which discusses periodic scanning for WD: Īnd then this says: Set Malwarebytes apply the best Windows Action Center settings based on your system (recommended) Hi thought of another question ) How do you have MBAM & WD configured? WD is passive, MBAM – primary? This topic was modified 2 years ago by Kirsty. This topic was modified 2 years ago by dmt_3904. I did not enable Automatic Sample Submission (trust issue), should I? This was set by default in MBAM, wondering what others have for this setting – Always register Malwarebytes in the Windows Action Center
I don’t have any exclusions, but seems to be ok – no performance issues. Is that it? What does running Defender with Malwarebytes buy me? And I was going to do an offline scan (kept getting stupid COMPUTRACE alert on boot scan with EST but I had disabled Computrace and it could be false positive).Īlso, I think I have everything set properly – Defender is showing no actions needed (some are greyed out due to MBAM). You can still use Windows Defender to perform a manual-or offline-scan as a backup to your preferred antivirus app, though. While another antivirus app is installed, Windows Defender won’t continue performing real-time scans, so it won’t interfere with your other app.
HowtoGeek says – Windows 10 automatically disables Windows Defender if you install another antivirus app.
Malwarebytes is doing Realtime protection. I know, you shouldn’t run two security suites due to conflicts – though these two seem to cooperate. But, as much as I am reading, I still don’t understand what I am getting from running both. I have been reading online and am confident that it’s good protection. I just ended my subscription with ESET NOD32. For protection is got 4.5 out of six with protection against 0-day malware attacks at 96.2% compared to the industry standard of 98 percent but for malware from the last four weeks it got 100%, as you'd expect.I am running MBAM Premium with Defender. It got four out of six on performance with slowing down of the machine it was on more than the average. In AV-test results it achieved a usability score of six out of six, with no false detections.
This makes it more effective but it still has a way to go - it can't match software packages like BitDefender and Norton 360. If you have the paid version of Malwarebytes then you'll also have live, real-time protection. If you want total protection, something like BitDefender 2020 is your best option. Since both are free it seems silly not to use them. This is where having both Windows Defender and Malwarebytes is a great double team way to stay protected and secure. What it can't do is the malware side of things for ransomware, for example.
Windows Defender, for example, is now a really capable antivirus software that is included for free with Windows 10. But to avoid infection in the first place getting anti-virus software is a good idea. If you're already infected, this is what you want to get you cleaned out. This is why it works well as a supplementary layer of security. Malwarebytes lacks some of the real-time protection you'll get from AV software, like a firewall, in the free version at least.
