Product Announcement: Norton Security 22.23.4.6 for Windows is now available!
I need to know if my 'Norton 360 Premium' is compatible with the paid for version of "Malwarebytes". If anyone can give a positive answer it would be most appreciated. (I am using Windows 10 with Feature update 2004)

Hello Barzey. MBAM and Norton ARE compatible per this MWB forum thread. That being said its NOT suggested to set MBAM to start with Windows and run in full time mode. Use as an on demand scanner when the need arises.
Cheers

Many thanks for that info. Now you have pointed out about using it as an 'On Demand' scanner that makes perfect sense for sure. Once again thank you, especially for a very prompt reply

FWIW ~
If you’re using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, you should be running it alongside a primary antivirus program to keep your computer in tip-top security shape. But traditional advice is not to run two anti-malware programs at once. Here’s how to thread that needle.
Malwarebytes is coded in a different way and is designed to run alongside other antivirus programs without interfering. It may even work without any further configuration. But, to make it work as well as it possibly can and improve performance, you should set up exclusions in both Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium and your standard antivirus program.
