Is malware the same as antivirus. I have ESET NOD32 for Antivirus but it's not stopping what Malwarebytes uncovered today (thanks to Dell)! If Malware is different than Antivirus ... do they run well together?
Thanks

Malwarebytes is not an antivirus and should run fine along side NOD32. It catches the nasties that most AV's miss ;)
