Why is it not recommended to run 2 protections at a time, say Microsoft Security Essentials & Malwarebytes Online ?

Two antivirus programs running at the same time would most likely cause issues in several areas.
But just so you know, Malwarebytes is not and anti-virus software, Malwarebytes is designed to work hand in hand with your anti-virus software, as a second layer of security....
- Could cause false positives
- Could cause your computer to lock up
- Could cause the antivirus software's installed not be able to detect an infection
- Could cause your computer to run real slow

Hi.
Yes they will work together. I use them both.
Malwarebytes is limited compared to an antivirus and only checks when files execute.
Below is the guide for adding exclusions to MSE.
