I recommend taking advantage of the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Pro) Protection Module in the full version which uses advanced heuristic scanning technology to monitor your system and provide real-time protection to prevent the installation of most new malware. Sometimes you just have to experiment to get the right combination for your particular system. Keep in mind that you can overkill a system with resource heavy security programs that will slow down performance. This can lead to a repetitive cycle of endless alerts or false alarms that continually warn a threat has been found if the contents of the quarantine folder are not removed before beginning a new security scan. The anti-virus may even detect as threats, any malware removed by these programs and placed into quarantined areas. Further, your anti-virus may detect suspicious activity while these programs are scanning (reading) files, especially if it uses a heuristic scanning engine, regardless if they are running in real-time or on demand. They may identify the activity of each other as suspicious and produce alerts. If using multiple real-time resident shields (TeaTimer, Ad-Watch, MBAM Protection Module, Spyware Terminator Shields, etc.) together at the same time, there can be conflicts when each application tries to compete for resources and exclusive rights to perform an action. However, competing tools may provide redundant alerts which can be annoying and/or confusing as a result of the overlap in protection. The overlap of protection from using different signature databases will aid in detection and removal of more threats when scanning your system for malware. In fact, doing so increases your protection coverage without causing the same kind of conflicts or affecting the stability of your system that can occur when using more than one anti-virus. will not conflict with each other or your anti-virus if using only one of them for real-time protection and others as stand-alone scanners.

Important Tip: Always remember that security begins with personal responsibility.Īs a general rule, using more than one anti-spyware program like Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, SuperAntispyware, Windows Defender, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, Spyware Terminator, etc.For more specific information to consider, please read Choosing Your Anti-virus Software. There is no universal " one size fits all" solution that works for everyone and there is no best anti-virus. You may need to experiment and find the one most suitable for your use and your system. A particular anti-virus that works well for one person may not work as well for another. Other factors to consider include detection rates and methods, scanning engine effectiveness, how often virus definitions are updated, the amount of resources the program utilizes, how it may affect system performance and what will work best for your system. Choosing a security toolkit with anti-virus, firewall and anti-malware programs is a matter of personal preference, your needs, your technical ability and experience, features offered, user friendliness, ease of updating (and upgrading to new program release), ease of installation/removal, available technical support from the vendor and price.
