I'm a computer engineering student, although not completly competant I am still wanting to learn. and capable of a more advanced descriptive explanation

Im getting conflicting info, I appreaciate your patience. But can you give me a detailed explaination of why they wont conflict with their file shields, scans etc. Are there are specific areas of concern that i should look at with the settings each? If this is the case, can i run malwarebytes avira, and hitman pro alert simultaneously without increasing my vulnerability to viruses.

Avira pro runs perfectly fine on its own. Its been running fine since i installed malwarebytes a couple hours ago. My concern is that old saying about not running more than 1 antivirus product at the same time, causing a vulnerability. I am not worried about a the applications crashing. But more of whats going on behind the scenses, that if both are running this is going to make me more vulnerable, rather than less. Basically how can i optimally protect my computer using both at the same time. Or is the optimal protection i am seeinking involve uninstalling malwarebytes and just running its intermittant JRT Adwarecleaner, and rootkit removal tool. If i can receive optimal protection using both avira and malwarebytes. Do I have to set up appropriate exemption etc, or turn off any active shields? So that they function optimally together. OR would i be overall better to use something like hitmanpro alert over mb3

I want to set up malwarebytes to run alongside Avira pro so it runs without any conflicts or causing any security vulnerabilities

Oh boy lol, I wish I had come to my senses before completly wiping my device lol. Thanks you so much for your timely resposne

I had decided to run an antirootkit scan without internet access on one of my devices. On this same device when I updated the Malwarebytes antirootkit scan it detected nothing. But, when i ran it without updating it it found similar malware across two different devices, and it keeps finding the same malware after completing wiping each device and reinstalling windows.

[3a0359e46b111e1834d233c459aaff01] My assumption is either these are false positives or the antirootkit scan is being corrupted when i update it. Not sure why these would remain on the device after formating the drives and reinstalling windows. Thanks mbar-log-2017-08-01 (17-41-48).txt
