does malwarebytes free 2.0.4 conflict with av's protection?

it was a tech. contracted for Toshiba support, who wanted $200.00 to fix restore, reset,refresh missing files, said that bd free and mamb free clash and damage is done...so he must fix. my pc says to get Toshiba media recovery to resolve and that all other functions are fine. i'm for the media recovery...don't believe bd and mamb clashed and caused any missing files...and after reading posts from all you good people.......don't believe the tech.

 

OK, knowing that, I am more inclined to agree that there likely isn't an issue, but I would still set up the exclusions in any case.

 

On the SecureAPlus thread, a post claims that MAMB isn't meant to be a full-fledged anti-malware tool, unless I misunderstood. I share your opinion of MAMB, and plan to purchase Pro if I can find a multiple year or lifetime plan. Am sure the other program is good, but don't believe it can surpass MAMB's quality of security.

 

Since v2 they have jumped from lifetime to yearly subscription.
I'm not sure if you can still find lifetime licenses on the sale....

 

I see you use the free MAMB, same as I. Will check with MAMB support as to real time yearly offers. Many posts positively support real time version...respect and will follow their input. Also, would you use MAMB with real time to replace the free version?

 

Nope....I'm using Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit Free, not MBAM.
I had a lifetime license for MBAM Pro but I gave it to my best man.

 

Which would you use on your machine, MBAE or SecureAPlus?

 

You can use both. One is an anti-exploit while the other is an antivirus + application whitelisting.

 

Do you use both? And if so, are you content with this security solution and with how it performs on your machine?
