When you install Windows 10, you’ll have an antivirus program already running. So which ones should you use, and do you need to pay money for them? Let’s start with the first part of that combo: antivirus.
Together, they will protect you from most of the biggest threats on the internet today: viruses, spyware, ransomware, and even potentially unwanted programs (PUPs)-among many others. We recommend you use a good antivirus program and a good anti-malware program. However, antivirus itself is no longer adequate security on its own.

Being smart isn’t enough to protect you from threats, and security software can help act as another line of defense. You need antivirus software on your computer, no matter how “carefully” you browse. A One-Two Punch: Antivirus and Anti-Malware It’s not often that we give an official How-To Geek recommendation, but this is our favorite product by far, and something we use ourselves. Every time we talk to them, they are excited about the mission of cleaning up the internet. There’s no bloatware and it won’t slow you down.Įditor’s Note: This doesn’t even mention the fact that Malwarebytes, the company, is staffed by some really great people that we really respect. Use Malwarebytes for Anti-Malware and Anti-Exploit – all of the huge malware outbreaks these days are using zero-day flaws in your browser to install ransomware to take over your PC, and only Malwarebytes provides really excellent protection against this with their unique anti-exploit system.Windows Defender is built right in, blazing fast, doesn’t annoy you, and does its job cleaning old-school viruses. Use the Built-in Windows Defender for traditional antivirus – the criminals have moved on from regular viruses to focus on Ransomware, zero-day attacks, and even worse malware that traditional antivirus just can’t handle.

#MALWAREBYTES VS AVAST WHICH TO INSTALL FIRST 64 BIT#
I run Malwarebytes 3.0 Premium with the free version of Avast 2017 (with a bare-boned installation thereof, using a customised installation and excluding SecureLine VPN, Cleanup, SafeZone Browser, Passwords, SafePrice, Software Updater and Avast Online Security - none of which I feel I need, or are bloatware or I have covered by other software) - they seem to play well together on my Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit setup.įor extra insurance and following advice given by Malwarebytes staff here, I've added the files below to Avast's exclusions :-Ĭ:\Windows\System32\drivers\MBAMChameleon.sysĬ:\Windows\System32\drivers\MBAMSwissArmy.sysĬ:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\MbamPt.exeĬ:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\mbam.exeĬ:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\assistant.exeĬ:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\MBAMWsc.exeĬ:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\mbamtray.exeĬ:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\MBAMService.exe I repeat that I DO run both together but I am aware I am taking a risk and ensure that I have regular backups etc to cover me in case there is a problem caused by a 'Crash/Hang' at the 'Wrong' time.Īnother positive experience.
#MALWAREBYTES VS AVAST WHICH TO INSTALL FIRST PC#
Just be aware of the possibility there may be a conflict in the future and assess your ability to survive a PC 'Crash/Hang' I have been running Avast & Malwarebytes together on Win 7 Sp1 for years and not had any problem, BUT it is possible for there to be interaction between AV/AM software.ĪFAIK: Both Avast and Malwarebytes do not state they WILL run together !!! If you install Avast 1st then install Malwarebytes there is no message from Avast. This is a 'Back covering' message from Avast in case there are any interactions causing crashes etc. If you install Malwarebytes 1st and try to install Avast it will display a message stating that ' Multiple AV/AM packages are installed and Avast recommend the removal of any other software'. I am a User of both Avast & Malwarebytes.
