I hope you're not referring to me, as I am posting my opinion. I never said they were bad I said I had bad experiences with them thus I do not care for them. If you did mean me, you need to to reread my post and not jump to conclusions so fast. I think you're upset because the majority of the Antiviruses that I said I had bad experiences with you guys recommend, thats not my problem. Thats another reason right there, what Toby_Jackson said, that I don't care for Avast! most of those freebies try to offer / install crapware.

I personally love Malwarebytes PRO, great program! It has never let me down and does an amazing job, I am very satisfied with my purchases of Malwarebytes PRO. Also, how can you go wrong with a Lifetime license for only $24.99? Thats a steal of a deal if you ask me! I am a Happy Malwarebytes PRO user! Take care!

From my personal experiences and my favorite Antivirus of choice is and always will be ESET NOD32. I have been using it for years and it has never let me down and I haven't noticed it to hinder my computers performance. I have never had any infections using NOD32 but, thats also because I only surf safe and don't click any unknown or suspicious links. No Antivirus will protect you 100%, so practicing safe browsing habits goes a long way too as well as keeping all your software up to date including your operating system. Antiviruses that I had bad experiences with are Norton, McAfee, AVG, Microsoft Security Essentials and Avast! I personally do not care for any of those. I seen and have worked on so many computers with one of them installed and the computer would be highly infected with all sorts of nasty stuff all while the Antivirus is sitting there saying everything is peachy keen. That's my personal experience using Antiviruses, I stick to what works best for me, and in this case obviously, NOD32. Also like Firefox has said, everyone has their own answers and opinions, so what you hear will vary greatly. Take Care!

The Lock up issue also occurs on Windows 7, unless delayed start is activated on Malwarebytes. I also was experiencing some performance problems with both ESET and MBAM Pro installed, I disabled Malwarebytes relatime protection and I could see a nice performance boost. so I don't know what's going on between the two, its a shame since they are both great programs.

Thank you exile360 for the advice. I decided not to try any of them after further research since I already check regularly for updates to all my software. Thanks everyone for the advice!

Thank you noknojon and David H. Lipman for your feedback, I think I will give PSI and Online Inspector a go.

Hello! I was doing some research online and I came across this piece of software that is said to help keep your computer fully patched. My question is, what do the experts here on the Malwarebytes forums think about this software? If you have heard of it or used it. I went to there website and it seems like it would be a nice layer of protection to make sure all software is kept up to date. I am very picky and try to keep my software fully updated at all times so I figured this would be a nice little tool to have. I read some reviews, some were positive, some were negative, so its all up in the air for me at this point. What are everyones opinions on Secunia PSI 3? Thank you for any feedback!

Your Welcome! Thank you for looking into this conflict.

malicide, I'm sorry I should have said this sooner, it sometimes, on occasion, would boot into Windows and do exactly what you have experienced. It would be completely random with no pattern or anything, so you are in the same ball park from what I was experiencing. I would said 4 out of 10 times it would say "Welcome" other times it would boot into Windows, I would see ESET load up and then freeze. Thank you malicide for your time and patience for looking into this.

One more thing I want to add, before I did any configuration to Windows or any programs, it started locking up right from the get go. After installing the Drivers and Windows updates and my programs like iTunes, I installed Malwarebytes PRO first, then ESET next, it started getting stuck at "Welcome" on the next restart. I did disable Malwarebytes PRO protection before installing ESET. Hope this helps.

Hello malicide! I first installed a fresh clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64. After that I first install all necessary drivers example, Video driver, Sound driver, etc. I then download all updates before installing any extra software such as Malwarebytes, ESET, iTunes etc. I download all security updates and well as regular Windows updates. I don't download or install the language packs or extra stuff like Bing Desktop. After this post I will go get you the logs and post back. Thank you malicide!

Weird. When I try it, it literally distorts the page and when I do try and click on anything on the forum when I do that, it goes right back to HTTP *shrugs*. The only browser I use is Google Chrome, its the latest version 27.0.1453.110 m. Maybe it is Chrome, I don't know, however, any other HTTPS site works just fine. Oh well, what can you do. Thank you ShyWriter for pointing that.

Oh nice! Thank you AdvancedSetup!

Hello! I noticed when signing in with my credentials for the Malwarebytes forums there is no encryption (HTTPS). When I tried using HTTPS it does not work and I get an error, same with using the forums with HTTPS, except with the forums it does work but distorts the page. I figured in the world today with malware and other internet threats on the rise, having some kind of encryption when signing in and using the forums would be a plus. I know, I know, the forums at Malwarebytes may not exactly be a big target for someone to want to steal your credentials, but hey, better safe than sorry right? I would just like to see some form of encryption when logging in and using the forums, like what Gmail does for there online mail service, its encrypted when logging in and stays encrypted when viewing email. Thanks for reading my suggestion.

Thanks again exile360! Oh nice! I will keep an eye out for that in a future release. Thats why I wanted to say something here about it, there may be others out there that use ESET also and are having similar issues but the only way it can get resolved is to let the developers for both ESET and Malwarebytes know. I thought maybe there was a setting off somewhere but I tried everything with no luck, I understand things happen so I can live with a delayed start. Like I said though, other than the startup issue, everything is peachy keen between the two after Malwarebytes loads in. Thanks a million exile360 for passing this along and helping out a happy customer, I appreciate it!

Thank you very much exile360! Wow you guys are awesome here! Not only do you guys respond quick but you guys also act quick! If it helps exile360, I have some settings cranked up in ESET, I have "Runtime Packers" checked and "Advanced Heuristics" checked and everything set to "Strict Cleaning". Also have all the extra stuff checked like "Detection of potentially unwanted applications". I don't know if that will help or not, but, just incase you can't reproduce it on default settings, knowing my luck. Thanks again!

Other than the start up issue, everything else is running smooth. It only takes about a minute or so after everything else loads before Malwarebytes loads up but hey thats fine by me. As long as I can still use the PRO version that is fine, but, hopefully someday, the start up issue will be resolved. I just figured I would post something here about it and thought maybe it could be looked into, I am not blaming ESET or Malwarebytes as I know stuff happens and it is what it is. Both are great security software and I intend on keeping both. Thanks very much everyone for all the help, I appreciate it.

Hi again, reporting back. I have added everything you guys suggested to ESET's exclusion list, restarted, and it all was in vain, it locked up. There is something going on somewhere between ESET and Malwarebytes, and exclusions are not helping at all. Only way to overcome this is keeping Malwarebytes on Delayed Start. There is absolutely nothing else in the startup list other then ESET and my mousepad drivers. I even tried turning off the mousepad drivers and it still locks up, with ESET and Malwarebytes being the only two programs starting at startup. Hopefully someday, in a later build, this will be resolved, as for the time being, like I said, I will live with it being on delayed start. I just hope this issue doesn't extend longer than that, what I mean by that is like if one of them finds a threat in the future and the computer crashes because they are conflicting behind the scenes somewhere. Malwarebytes was always there as a on demand scanner in the past but I decided to go PRO and now I am running into issues. Thanks DarkSnakeKobra and Firefox for your help, it is appreciated.

Thanks for the responses guys! I told both ESET and Malwarebytes to ignore the entire folder of each other, however, DarkSnakeKobra, I didn't know about the mbam.sys file so I will try that now, I just hope it works and it doesn't lock up again, I am going to put Malwarebytes service back on Auto again to test it. I will report back with the results.

Hello! I am having an issue with ESET Smart Security 6 (6.0.316.0) and Malwarebytes PRO (1.75.0.1300). I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I have purchased 3 licenses for Malwarebytes PRO a few days ago and today I finally got the chance to install and activate my license but only to be disappointed. My problem is whenever I startup my computer my computer locks up at "Welcome" and I am forced to hold the power button and force it to shut down. I tried adding exclusions on both programs and no go. This is a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64, only thing installed other than Windows is both ESET and Malwarebytes. I have tried several things to try and troubleshoot the problem but it locks up every time, however, I only found one solution for them to play nice and not cause my computer to lock up which is to set the MBAMService to (Automatic Delayed Start). When I do this, the computer loads up just fine followed by Malwarebytes a few minutes later. The issue is I would love Malwarebytes to start up along with ESET so this is kind of disappointing to me, and it is an obvious conflict between the two. I have experienced this same issue on my other laptop as well, so that counts out the idea of being just this computer. Sorry for my huge post, I love both Malwarebytes PRO and ESET and I don't want to drop any of them, is there anyway this issue can be looked into? I can live with the Delayed Start with Malwarebytes, but, having it load at startup with ESET would be nice though. I figured I would post and hope maybe the developers can look into it. Thank you very much for your time, you guys make a great product!
