ESET enough?

[39steps]

Hi Everyone

I’m thinking of adding Malwarebytes (free version) to my pc. Would it conflict with my copy of ESET Smart 4? Do I need to enter certain mbam.exe files as exceptions in the ESET program and, if so, how do I go about this?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Don't worry , it won't conflict , actually it will make your PC more secured because ESET does not scan the registry where as Malwarebytes scans the registry ! :thumb:

it might make it more secure but it will not be because Eset is not scanning registry

that's one of the methods of making the computer more secure ! to scan the registry and detect illegal modifications cause by Viruses !
ESET does not scan the registry ... ask Moderators about it and they'll tell you :)
but Malwarebytes' scans the registry and you can see it happening in front of your face ;D

That's right.
Sysinspector can be used to get 'suspect' registry items flagged up for analysis...but that's all.

Not at all and you won't need to add anything to any exclusion list - at least I didn't have to on two machines.

Yes, it was in system restore and not actively running on your system. Unless you restored your pc to that restore point it posed no problem.

MBAM does not claim to detect everything, it is more of a 'niche' cleaner that often detects things that AV's miss.
