Since registering MBAM, I've noticed that every time I receive a database update, Windows Defender will pick up on the MBAM service and driver (requesting I re-approve/deny them). Is this normal (for database updates)? I'm also wondering: having enabled protection, MBAM is automatically starting up with Windows. Yet, this startup was not deteced/acknowledged by any of my usual detectors: Windows Defender, SpyBot's TeaTimer, nor WinPatrol. Without asking you to reveal anything you want to keep confidential, I guess this is some kind of security feature... to keep MBAM's startup from being detected by malware??? P.S. If this question/comment is too-revealing, please feel free to suppress it.
