Compatibility

[Claw]

Sorry if this has been asked before but, I use Kaspersky Security Cloud Free, can I install Malwarebytes Free since Malwarebytes Free doesn't have realtime protection?

Hello @Claw, Welcome.

Yes, you can install MBAM as a 'second opinion'.
But during the installation you have to make sure that the offered test of the premium version is not activated.

Also, even installing MBAM Free, it seems K. changed lately its behaviour and probably will remain warning You about an incompatibility...

Which was the case for myself with Anti-Virus (2 Windows PC's) using the above mentioned settings, so I uninstalled MBAM. I'm pretty sure with safe browsing and downloading habits, that Kasperky will be enough, at least for me.

But, how did Kaspersky pick up on it? I installed it after Anti-Virus, I believe I got a notice "out of the blue" of an  incompatible softwear found. Would adding it into AV Exclusion work, or is Kaspersky going to find it and flag it no matter what?

Of course K. knows and check everything You install, it is its job ?

 

You may try to add Exclusions, but probably the warning from K. will remain...

Hi @Claw ?

I know your thread has been answered, but, when I had MBAM free version installed along side of Kaspersky, I also disabled having it start with Windows as to not have any of it's background running processes possibly be an issue. Then just loading it to run a on-demand 2nd opinion scan when wanted.

Cheers ?
