    Anyone running Malwarebytes Pro and Prevx? I've been running Avast and Prevx for quite some time together, but am considering buying Malwarebytes Pro to run in real time as well.

    Would like opinions...thanks.

    Prevx and MBAM Pro are not what might cause you problems.
    avast 5.0 and MBAM Pro might.
    A new avast! build (5.0.415) was released today... see here ... and one of its main fixes is "an attempt to solve the compatibility issue with MBAM Pro".
    In case you haven't heard, some avast! users have been reporting feezing/hanging issues when they add in MBAM Pro. Vlk says it is just like running another resident AV, and thus the trouble begins.

    MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Pro (MBAM) runs nicely with Prevx on my computer. MBAM is great against rogues & drive-bys, as well as spyware etc. MBAM & Prevx make a great team, in my opinion.

    Quick follow up... it looks as though the avast folks may have fixed the MBAM Pro issue. See here. I realize the OP has asked about MBAM Pro and Prevx, but I very astutely noticed that he was also running avast as part of his set up. ;)
