Hi Joe
In Malwarebytes 3.0, the option to register Malwarebytes in the Action Center (as an Antivirus, even though it is not) has been added. If you go in the Settings, under the first tab (Application I think), and scroll down a bit, you'll see the options I'm referring to. If you change the setting to "Never register Malwarebytes in the Action Center", both Windows Defender and Malwarebytes 3.0 should run together.
Right. I saw that option. However, the expected behaviour for the automatic option where Malwarebytes applies the best action based on your system (which in the guides says that it will not register with Action Center if it detects that Defender is running), so that Defender continues to function as an antivirus) is not working correctly. Action Center still detects Malwarebytes in newer Insider Preview builds, even with the mitigation options turned on. So something in the new Insider Preview builds has changed since the Anniversary Update. This could cause a lot of grief with users that rely on Defender for standard antivirus detection when their systems get upgraded to the new Creators Update build because it will turn off Defender's on-access scanning.

Can anybody from the company give a response towards the recent comments coming from the Chrome and Mozilla developers regarding security software being itself insecure?

Microsoft is now shutting down Defender automatically on Windows 10 Insider Preview because it detects Malwarebytes Premium as "antivirus". Is this going to be addressed in an update?
Do you still have the same marketing message to say that Malwarebytes Premium isn't meant to be a replacement for antivirus software, but is designed to work with existing antivirus?

Well, sure. But it's disconcerting, and needs to be addressed before the Creator's Update gets rolled out as a standard update, and leaves potentially millions of customers insecure.
