You can likely run BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2015 and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium together without major conflicts. Just keep an eye on system performance and resource usage. For better pairings, consider using AVG AntiVirus or Kaspersky Anti-Virus alongside Malwarebytes for enhanced protection. Let me know if you need more tips!
Avoid using audio and video features—it doesn’t add much value. Malwarebytes offers better protection than standard AV software.
I've been handling this for six days each week for nearly six years. It's my regular job.
I'm just wondering why AVs seem unnecessary. What do you do? Sounds interesting!
Intuition is the top choice for AV. Honestly. Windows Defender (on Win8) will handle the background tasks just adequately.
These threats mostly come from malware, essentially software. This suggests it isn’t a fixed item that simply hacks into a machine—it could be anywhere from 100 to 100 billion different names or file types, arriving through various methods. I haven’t encountered any antivirus solution besides the rare cases Avast has used that caught a malware download or install. An AV can spot only one in fifty infections, which isn’t enough when it comes to detecting a browser vulnerability over a rootkit. Since I run several PC shops and fix machines daily, I’m focused on practical protection rather than theoretical scenarios.
Thanks for your input so far! I'm a bit worried about missing the A/V setup mentioned in Linus's video. I plan to use Malwarebytes and also try running an A/V for extra assurance. Could you suggest the best A/V options to pair with it? Also, how should I configure it so it doesn't affect the new PC's performance and works smoothly together? (We're using Windows 8.1) Appreciate your help!
