A few years back when I had an issue with my computer which Kaspesky Tech could not resolve, they advised me to download and install the free version of Malwarebytes. I did so, and it resolved the issue. When I queried why that software worked, I was told, it is because they are a smaller and their product is not targeted in the same way as ours, which makes sense. They also suggested I keep it and run it every few months, which I did for about four years. Between the tow I had not further issues. This week I had a computer problem, C: drive full, which was a bit odd. Did the checks for viruses, all fine. Removed used or little used software, move my document to E: drive, in all saving 100 Gb, C: drive back in the blue. Reboot, back in the red, remove more items, back in the blue, and consider a new larger drive. Today back in the red, no room on C:. I download Malwarebytes, run it, and it found 1 problem, which I quarantined. Reboot, and I now have 300 Gb back on C: drive. We know it is unrealistic for ant security software to prevent everything, and Kaspersky has done a good job for me for about 8 years. But those it does miss, are likely to be ones causing major issues, and Malwarebytes sorted it in minutes. I do not blame Kaspersky for missing it, but what I do complain about is, their apparent disapproval of Malwarebytes now, when they once advised it. The upshot is that, if Malwarebytes in no longer compatible, then I may have to rethink using Kaspersky. Our fight is with those causing viruses, and antivirus software developers should work together to defeat them, … moan over….
