Super_Spartan 56 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 1) Is NOD32 Antivirus enough or does one need an Anti-Malware also such as Malwarebytes Anti-Malware? 2) Is NOD32 compatible with MBAM Pro if they're both running actively or is this not recommended? 3) If one chooses to run MBAM PRO + NOD32, would this cause a slowdown on the system?

Our good friend Arakasi posted a nice write up over a year ago that you should review. https://forum.eset.com/topic/1714-eset-and-malwarebytes-comparison/?hl=malwarebytes BTW since then, I do run MBAM Prem (aka PRO) and ESS both in real time without any issues.

sky7 19 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is great product but if you are using well-known antivirus software you don't need Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PremiumI usually recommend to use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free-edition with other well-known antivirus software (ex: ESET, Kaspersky, Emsisoft, Windows defender(w8.1, w10 built-in)...etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you notice any slowdowns and did you setup exclusions for both? I do not notice any slowdown. As far as exclusions, I am currently not excluding on either end...you can take a look at this. https://forum.eset.com/topic/3159-any-known-issuesconflicts-weset-nod32-av-and-other-programs /?hl=%2Bmalwarebytes+%2Bexclusions#entry18522 I did use exclusions previously, but since reading the post by Marcos I stopped and have not seen any ill effects. ___________________________________________________________ The following is from Firefox at the MBAM forum about exclusions. https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/150947-missing-mbam/?p=843114 So try it without and add them if you need to.

Solution novice 20 Posted August 23, 2015 Solution Share Posted August 23, 2015 Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is great product but if you are using well-known antivirus software you don't need Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium Well, some may disagree, see here: "We have just been hit by the CryptoWall/CryptoLocker virus...ESET did highlight and delete the some of the encryption html/txt files, but the PC that was infected did end up with encrypted files ending in .aaa.I had to run MalwareBytes in order to remove the offending file..." https://forum.eset.com/topic/5691-cryptowall/?p=31458 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
