Gooday mates:

MS released MS Security Essentials; I've have tried in a Guinea Pig PC and it performs well against malware; until now it works but only time will tell if it keeps its performance and accuracy.

I have been using Malwarebytes Antimalware two years ago. I have not had a single problem; even more, it is the only security tool which runs in real time; the other one is Spybot which scans manually (no real time)

I thing my laptop configuration is OK but I have read that Malwarebytes should be a complement of a security suit, so

1- Can Malwarebytes and MS Security Essentials run together in real time? Do they interfere between them selves reducing its performance?
2- What is the Malwarebytes Antimalware Team assessment for MS Security Essentials?
together

Thank you,

Memo

Greetings

I know of several members here (including one of the Malwarebytes' staff) that are using MSE with MBAM in realtime and none of them have noted any conflicts between the two whatsoever . I have not personally used MSE, but based on all of the research I've done so far and the information I've received from those using it, it does seem to be a decent antivirus solution.

I hope I've adequately answered your questions, if you need anything else just post.

Thanks

Hello again:

No buddy, that's it.

If an expert like you says both can run without biting to each other then I will install it in my laptop to share vigilance with Malwarebytes..... however, I trust more Malwarebytes that MS essentials

Thank you,

Memo.

PS
I read in ZDNet that Malwarebytes was suing IObit because those bastards were stealing Malwarebytes technology; what are the last news?

Here is an ongoing thread on the issue

and here is the original thread

You're very welcome . I'm glad to be of service.

I just got some more info for you, apparently running MSE and MBAM together in realtime can cause performance issues, but I also got info on the solution:

Step 1:

Exclude the following from MSE under Processes:

• mbam.exe
• mbamgui.exe
• mbamservice.exe

Step 2:

Please exclude the following files from Microsoft Security Essentials:

For Windows XP:

• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe
• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe
• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe
• C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
• C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys
• C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys

Note: If using a software firewall besides the built in Windows Firewall you'll need to exclude them from it as well

For Windows Vista or Windows 7:

• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe
• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe
• C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe
• C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
• C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys
• C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys

Note: If using a software firewall besides the built in Windows Firewall you'll need to exclude them from it as well

For 64 bit versions of Windows Vista or Windows 7:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe
• C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
• C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys
• C:\Windows\SysWoW64\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys

Note: If using a software firewall besides the built in Windows Firewall you'll need to exclude them from it as well

I would also recommend excluding the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware folder under Program Files in your Folder Exclusions just to be safe.

Gooday mate:

BLOODY HELL !!!!!!

As my wife says: "you've let me breathless"

Thanks so much for your advise; definitely Malwarebytes is an oasis of efficiency.

I owe you a beer.... no two beers..... no "n" beers and a BBQ

See ya mate

I Use MSE and MBAM and wow what a combo..what one doesn't get the other does.

For 64 bit versions of Windows Vista or Windows 7:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamgui.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbamservice.exe
• C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\rules.ref
• C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys
• C:\Windows\SysWoW64\drivers\mbamswissarmy.sys

I would also recommend excluding the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware folder under Program Files in your Folder Exclusions just to be safe.

Fantastic program. Fantastic info. Gold medals all around.

To be pedantic: the .ref and sys files above needs go under "Excluded files and locations" NOT "Excluded Processes" as implied in the article. & there is no Folder Exclusions object.

Picky I know but, for those less fortunate......

Thanks for every little thing ...
