Malwarebytes AND Windows Defender at the SAME time?

Candy_Iowa · Apr 12, 2017

Is it possible to have both Malwarebytes and windows defender on and working at the same time? If so, how? If not, which one?

Very much the same for other AV applications.

Two AV programs running at the same time can be problematic.

I had the same problem and found out by going to Malwarebytes Forum they fixed the solution. I now can run both at the same time.

I run both and have no issues.

I noticed that Windows 10 has an anti-malware service running already, so it would not have a hit on your CPU. Malwarebytes blocked a bunch of malicious websites for me. So far so good. Don't install hacked software and it will probably work sufficiently.

I have Windows Defender and Malwarebytes running together on Windows 10 with no problems at all.

I also have (Must be without real time protection) Adaware a very light programme and so long as Adaware real time protection is shut of, I have no problems - I even have the pop up blocket which works with Chrome.

I have both running. But... is that efficient? Do the perform significantly different tasks?

Defender won't catch hardly anything , but the Premium Malwarebytes Real Time Protection is very good.

I disable Defender , it's not as bad as it use to be but not needed with Malwarebytes.
