Is MBAM compatable with Most AntiVirus software

I purchased 2 Licenses yesterday and installed beside OneCare on my XP sp2 PC's
but friends are asking me is it compatable for most antivirus software

Because they have been reading that the words anti malware could mean a combo of antispyware/virus software

It is compatible with a lot, we are still compiling a list. If it is not compatible, we will issue a refund.

May I add


MBAM and RR Pro are working great with avast! and OneCare on XP

[Willie]

Mine is working with ESET ESSuite (that is NOD32 with the ESET Firewall for those who don't know it)
and SAS and Trojan hunter and Ad-Muncher.

MBAM is working fine with AVG Free on WinXP Pro.

[leofelix]

MBAM is working fine with AVIRA AntiVir Personal Edition PREMIUM + Windows Defender + Zonealarm PRO (on XP Home SP2)

I suppose there are some problems in running it with SpySweeper 5.5, as 'protection module' on my desktop PC XP PRO SP2 doesn't work.. even though I'm not sure of course

best regards

All running together without problems.

leofelix,

Please check your e-mail, I sent you one yesterday I believe.

I can confirm MBAM is working fine alongside ESET Smart Security.

[Hardhead]

MBAM works with BoClean and NIS 2008.

Hi Marcin,

I answered you back, did not you receive my message?

MBAM (resident) working fine on XP MCE 2005 with:

NOD32 v2.7
Comodo FWP 3.0 (D+ enabled)*
Comodo BOClean v4.25

*After scanning with MBAM, Comodo FWP 3 adds about 100 invalid entries to "My Pending Files". These files no longer exist.
This is not an MBAM bug, just a Comodo nuisance. To delete these entries:
FWP>Defense+>My Pending Files>[Purge] button>OK.

Just thought I'd add more to the list of compatible anti-virus and firewall:

MBAM with Monitor is working fine with ClamWin Anti-Virus and ZoneAlarm Free.

[Dakeyras]

MMAM(protection enabled) used on a XP Home SP2 rig, no problems with the following:

• AVG AV 7.5.516 Pro.
  
• Comodo v3.0.15.277(D+ disabled).
  
• SpywareGuard v2.2.0.
  
• WinPatrol v14.0.2007.1:14.0.2007.1.

i realize the focus of this thread is supposed to be on MBAM's compatability with anti-VIRUS software...
but I was wondering --- and what I believe to be more significant --- about any word on its compatability with other resident anti-malware programs???

I have been running a combination of Windows Defender, along with SpyBot's TeaTimer, on all my PCs [except for an older winME that doesn't support Defender]. I've recently added MBAM (resident) to one such system. I haven't noticed any conflicts [so far?]. and don't believe there's been any signficant slow down.

so just wondering how others --- especially Rubber Ducky --- feel about this: do you consider MBAM resident a viable replacement for Windows Defender? for TeaTimer? for both? or do you advocate running [some cobination of] these together with each other? and more generally, your advice toward running MBAM resisdent along with other resident anti-malware programs.

P.S. Howdy Joe!

First of all you need to understand how TeaTimer and Defender work . TeaTimer is a heuristic system monitor that warns you when something is being changed and then allows you to make the call as to wheather or not you want this to happen . Defender is a definitions based antimalware application and only blocks what it knows is bad .

MBAM is more like Defender and they should not be used together if both are in protection mode . This is just like having two antivirus applications installed at the same time , conflicts can happen .

MBAM in either mode should be fine with TeaTimer and MBAM with Defender will be fine as long as one of them does not have active protection on .

Seams MBAM's realtime guard has a hard time with Online Armor v2.
With OA active I can not enable MBAM's guard, get error code 997.
If I disable OA I can enable the guard but when I turn OA back on the MBAM's guard is disabled.
This is the full and latest version of OA and latest version and most current updated defs of MBAM.
Online Armor


Edit: Just tried again and got the two working together............Hmmm strange.
