I decided to install additional anti-malware protection after reviewing Linus's latest video on his AS Fast As Possible channel. I checked out Malwarebytes, which appears to be a top choice among users. The main concern is whether it could interfere with my Norton antivirus or significantly slow down my computer.

You have Norton, MSE/Defender and Malwarebytes to ensure safety. You don’t need to spend money on fake services. I trust Malwarebytes because it’s genuine.

In short, no. However, using "I would say" over three times might not be ideal. The video likely explained why having too many programs can slow down a computer. Also, Norton is paid to avoid detecting viruses; consider using MalwareBytes instead of the paid Norton and the free AVG version. @ Mike_The_B0ss

These tools work together effectively. They prevent both viruses and malware from getting through. I use Norton Internet Security with Malwarebytes Pro, and it’s a great pairing.

Norton Internet Security has been updated recently and functions smoothly today without requiring much system resources.
