Of course they're going to say yes, they wouldn't want you to stop using it would they.

So you can use both free and paid and I was also instructed to exclude malwarebytes in norton's exclude list. I am also very happy to see people who are actually interested in helping me, trust me I appreciate it.
Than You!
Hi Win7ultimate,
It is of course your choice but I still would not recommend it. Think about this. If a virus attempted to infiltrate your system, then both MalwareBytes and N360 would both react to it and each in their own way. This creates a conflict between the two programs and neither one will be able to do as effective a job as a result.

Hi everybody:
What's the big deal?
I run MBAM (on demand) and SAS (on demand) and everything is good.
Pretty simple logic to me.

Hi Plankton,
That's the key word, on demand, not the paid version which has a real time component. ![]()

I bought the paid version of Malwarebytes to support them. You can shut off realtime scanning and make the scan on
demand. By the way on an XP machine I was running 360 and Webroot Spysweeper with no issues. Bought a new
Win 7 machine and loaded up my softwares, also running both 360 and Spysweeper and had major issues. I was about to take it back and got some info about running two scanners. Removed Spysweeper and it was a whole new machine. Running like a demon. So, best advise is not to run 2 realtime scanners.

Hello tomg88
You probably could have made a donation to the company and not get the paid version. The paid version may still have installed some drivers that could interfere with your N360 even if you have the realtime scanner turned off. I would still have just the free version installed instead of the paid one.
Success always occurs in private and failure in full view.

Not seeing any signs of anything running.... System is stable and running fine. Either version will automatically update itself.

Hey I had the same question i.e. "Why Malwarebytes" and after reading all the posts decided to get it. When I clicked the "Download Free Version" button the page directed here:
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5756
is that right? I haven't done anything else yet i.e. downloaded anything.

I just tried the Malwarebytes "Free version" button again and this time was sent here:

Do I have a virus already?
