Windows 7: MSE+SASW+MBAM antivitus configuration

madcratebuilder · 20 May 2013

How are you configuring your anti virus software?

I run MSE in real time and run SuperAntiSpyWare/MalwareBytes about once a week. Does anyone run SASW or MBAM in real time protection?

I run MBAM Pro real time protection with MSE real time protection.
No conflicts here.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.

I use Microsof Security Essentials and Malwarebytes Anti Malware Pro live at the same time with no problems.
I also use the built in Windows 7 Firewall with no problems.

I use Windows Firewall (default settings), MSE, MBAM (Free) and SASW with no problems at all.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if running those two programs would conflict with MSE.

I run Superantispyware Pro and MSE in real time. No problems. I have set them to scan on different days
I also have Malwarebytes pro and MSE on another computer Both running windows 7 pro also scans are different days and times

I have SASW Pro also, do you think the Malwarebytes Pro is worth the minor investment? The Pro version alows you to run in the background I think.

I think what you are asking is if there will be a problem running SASW Pro + MBAM Pro together (Real Time) along with MSE Real Time.
What you could do is try the MBAM Trial version.
That will run MBAM Real Time the same as the Pro version - for free for a couple of weeks.
If you don't have any conflicts and are happy with the system performance, you could then purchase the MBAM Pro license.

Using more than 1 Real Time Anti-Virus program usually causes problems.
Using more than 1 Real Time Anti-Malware program may work OK.

I create a System Backup Image before testing things like this, just in case...
