Malwarebytes and Kaspersky Internet 2012

Windows 7 / Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 / Malwarebytes (Latest Version

MB Friends - I upgraded Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 to 2012 this morning. In the middle of the installation, a notification came up saying something like 'must uninstall incompatible programs in order to continue'. The list box of programs to uninstall was empty so I pressed the continue button. Bottom line: When the installation was done, my Malwarebyes was gone, just an empty folder remained.

I've reinstalled MB and all seems well. My next stop will be the Kaspersky forum. Mighty fine software, but . . . . IM

Here is what Kaspersky has to say -

"Malware threats are getting complecated everyday. There is a need for deeper protection and tight system integration.

MalwareBytes can co-exist with KAV/KIS quite nicely, just as long as you do not enable the "Resident Protection" module.

I am afraid you will find a lot of vendors integrate their security solution offers, to simplify maintanence and avoid home user hassles.

You do know nothing is preventing you from installing the products back again?"

Yes, once you've installed or updated Kaspersky AV it appears to silently run our uninstaller.

You can download the program and reinstall it and setup the exclusions for Kaspersky and it should work just fine once again. This issue only happens during their install process.
