Over the years Dell has preloaded a lot of software utilities, variously called "Support" or "assistant" or "Help" or similar, meant to be troubleshooters. It comes with signature-less behavioral detection, which can pick up on malware that usually bypasses antivirus protection by analyzing program behavior. I am very reluctant to disable my other AV and rely solely on Malwarebytes protection, since it has no proven record as an AV.Īnd if Dell's SupportAssist starts to nag me, I'll deactivate (or uninstall) it. So I'll ignore the advice from Dell SupportAssist and continue to use both, until such time as I get any grief. Plus Malwarebytes says it is compatible to run with another AV, as it uses a different technology than traditional AVs use. But I am wondering if the two of them are compatible and able to work alongside. So far, I have had no issues with the two of them - Malwarebytes I feel is a little better at detecting some threats. I've been using Malwarebytes 3 with another AV running on 2 systems for some time now without slowdowns or conflicts. Hi, I use both McAfee and Malwarebytes for antiviruses and have done for the best part of two years. I take both of these as good generic advice that probably does not apply here.
I never did activate Dell SupportAssist, but I fired it up just now and sure enough, it lists both AVs as active, and says that "more than one AV can lead to conflicts". Through our partnership, we can offer Malwarebytes Premium for the protection of supported versions of Windows, Apple Mac, Chromebook, Apple iOS (iPhone, iPad. It does note that "running more than one AV at the same time can cause your PC to run slowly". I've heard that Malwarebytes will not conflict with McAfee anti-virus, however, I have McAfee Security Center which includes anti-spyware.

I'm not getting any obnoxious alerts, but if I check Security and Maintenance, it does list both Panda and Malwarebytes as installed AVs. Followers 1 fperucki Members 4 ID:536997 Posted MaI am currently on a free trial of Malwarebytes via the free version and want to upgrade to stay on real time. If this doesnt work, then lets move on to the next possibility. Its possible that they have already patched the problem.

(I didn't install the 3.0.6 because that is currently a preview, not a final release). Update Your Anti-Virus Sometimes all that you need to do is just make sure that you have the most recent version of your anti-virus program. I now have Malwarebytes Premium 3.0.5 installed on my Dell laptop running Win 10 Pro, with Panda Free AV running also.
