MBAM PRO and free Avast AV problem


Recommended Posts

I just upgraded from my free MBAM to the PRO version. I am, and also have been, running the free Avast AV software. What is happeneing is that when I boot my WIN7 64bit laptop and Avast begins to d/l the latest definition files MBAM PRO starts quaranteeing all the Avast definition files ??? I tried to "add" Avast to the MBAM ignore List from the drop-down menu, but that makes no difference.

 

My understanding is that MBAM PRO is "suppose" to be compatible with all Anti-Virus programs. Apparently not :huh:

 

Any help and advice is truly appreciated.

 

Richard

Hi MBAM Staff ~Ron Lewis

 

Thank you for your prompt reply and all the information including links. I bookmarked this page for future reference.

 

Currently, I am not having the problem with MBAM quarantining my Avast definition files. Why, I'm not sure? Maybe my system required a cold reboot after I placed Avast on the MBAM PRO Ignore List? Is this a possibility?  If the original problem reoccurs I will continue this thread after performing all the procedures which you have recommended.

 

Is this the best way to proceed?

 

Thanks again,

 

Richard

If you feel that all is working okay that's fine.  Generally speaking avast should not need to be on the exclusion list but it's okay. 

 

I'll go ahead and close this topic then but if you do need further assistance please go ahead and open a new topic and let us know.

 

Thank you
