It is a good combination with no conflicts.
Malwarebytes Pro has several features that I don't think are in the free version: scheduled scanning, realtime protection, and auto-updates.
If you use a search engine, you can usually find a discount coupon for the Pro version that will take 5 or 10 dollars off the price of the lifetime license. I've seen it as low as $13.
I have to disagree with MSE being all that's needed, and that adding Malwarebytes will slow your system. I have no problem with anyone recommending MSE, but to say it is the only thing needed is a different thing. A multilayered approach is always good as long as the programs don't conflict.
I have Avast with Malwarebytes Pro and Superantispyware Pro, all 3 running real time protection, and they don't slow down my system at all. MSE is highly regarded, but no one program will catch everything. IMHO. A Guy
Malwarebytes real time protection will often pick up things that others miss. It is also designed to co-exist with other AV programs such as MSE, Avast and Norton and so is a good choice for a multilayered protection.
No antivirus is perfect, but I've used Malwarebytes to clean up systems that had Norton installed and it removed viruses Norton didn't, lol. I, personally use MSE as realtime protection and Malwarebytes as a scanner and I haven't gotten a virus in a long time (unless I infected a virtual machine on purpose)
MSE is a GREAT anti virus, Malware bytes is GREAT Malware protection
So I combined both :) Hasn't slowed down my system..
BTW I already bought malware bytes PRO
The other thing you may like to try is SuperAntiSpyware. I use the free version which is not real time. It picks up and deletes tracking cookies amongst other things. The link is in my signature.
MSE (real time) with MBAM (on-demand) is pretty much what I use. I also have SpywareBlaster installed (on-demand), but considering that MSE hasn't had anything to catch, and MBAM hasn't found anything either, I'm unsure there is any value in whatever SpywareBlaster is doing. But it only runs when I run it, so it doesn't do any harm, so I just keep using it.
