You're right about the April issue that you referred to but I was also interested in reading MBAM's thoughts about running their Pro tool alongside Norton tools. I have read the entire thread though and they're referring to both, Pro users and Free MBAM. IMHO you are mixing apples and oranges - ie unfounded references fo complaints from Norton about MBAM Free and the actual possible conflict with MBAM Pro. The reference had really nothing to do with MBAM Pro - which runs in real time. That occurred after there had been no report of incompatibility with MBAM Free for quite a long time. Your link is about the a situation that occurred back in April where Norton would say MBAM Free was not compatible with Norton products.

Hi Scoops8 - a bit of background in case some users are not aware of what you have referenced.

so infuriating that not only did Norton Labs offer a free experimental tool that civilized UAC but also Microsoft radically changed it for Windows 7. Įspecially when you can get the best of both worlds by using Norton the way it is designed to run and using the non-interactive, free version of MBAM as backup when you want to double check your system for things that may have sneaked in, or even been invited in by the user which is hard for Norton to prevent or you will end up with the VISTA like UAC which asked you if you really wanted to do something every time you clicked on an installed application to start it or change it. I don't think it is correct to blame Norton for flagging something MBAM is trying to do when Norton is just doing its job!ġ - In order to do its job MBAM has to dive deep into the system and "mess" with what it finds - so does malware!Ģ - Malware tries to stop MBAM from doing its job and one thing MBAM does is offer a download/install version that uses a different identity every time so that malware that tries to block it can't do that just based on name.ģ - So if Norton is doing its job it will flag MBAM as digging down into the system and it's no good saying that Norton ought to be able to identify MBAM as safe since that is just what malware wants to deceive security software, and the computer user, into believing.Ĥ - If you don't like Norton and don't want to use that is a perfectly valid decision on your part but please don't blame Norton for playing safe with your system. As far as Norton's AV protection goes, it's been a for me. I've got about 6 weeks remaining before I reach the 1-year anniversary as a Norton customer. I guess its something that I'd like to evaluate after 1 year of running in this mode and then go from there. I always have a spare HDD that's been recently cloned so I have a plug-and-play recovery method available in the event of an intrusion getting past both scanners due to a conflict between the tools. There's another reason that I'm not concerned about the possibility of an intrusion getting past simultaneous scanners. Some of those notifications are probably non-issues or possibly generated by false-positives, but I like the idea of a malware/PUP-specific product running alongside my AV product. I realize that it goes against the advice here and I respect that input but for me, I guess I like the confidence / peace of mind when I see a MBAM tray notice that it's blocked or prevented an intrusion due to the real-time protection.

I'm a member over at the MBAM forum and have read some info about their product regarding AV conflicts with MBAM Pro.īased on that, in addition to my own PC experiences to date, I've decided to continue running both scanners together.

I tend to agree with you based on my experience in about 11 months elapsed time running MBAM Pro and Norton 360 simultaneously.Įxcept for a few Autofix dialog boxes that have disappeared since, if memory serves, Norton issued a patch for this particular conflict with MBAM, I haven't seen any visible conflict issues with MBAM Pro coexisting with Norton 360. There was no conflict in all the years I have run both together until last year when Norton decided to push their A-S protection. No more conflict messages and I am not risking anything as I believe Malwarebytes' Anti-Spyware protection to be superior to Nortons.īTW, I have contacted both companies - the problem is with Symantec, not Malwarebytes.

I just disabled the Anti-Spyware module on Norton AV and I leave Malwarebytes Pro running. Superfast scans, doesn't need to be installed at all, the best detection rates in the business, and free.
