To date, the following drivers have been identified to cause lockup issues on Windows XP when used concurrently with ESET products:

%windir%\system32\drivers\wavxdmgr.sys 06.06.00.066 (WAVE EMBASSY® Security Center)

%windir%\system32\drivers\InCDfs.sys 5.9.10.0 (Nero)

%windir%\system32\drivers\sandbox.sys 15/6/2011 (Agnitum Outpost Firewall)

%windir%\system32\drivers\mbam.sys (Malwarebytes paid version)

%windir%\system32\drivers\PDFsFilter.sys (PerfectDisk OptiWrite Filter Driver)

%windir%\system32\DRIVERS\YahooStorage.sys

%windir%\system32\DRIVERS\xlkfs.sys (Easy File Locker)

%windir%\system32\DRIVERS\PCTCore.sys (PC Tools Kernel Driver Suite)

%windir%\system32\DRIVERS\FSPFltd.sys (FSPro Labs My LockBox 2)

This apparently occurs after connecting a USB HDD.

 

I have a Windows XP system, Malwarebytes Pro, with ESET Smart Security installed.  I haven't enabled MBAM's real time protection since installing ESET, however.  So far I haven't experienced any issues.  I haven't connected an external HD since then, but I did connect an e-reader to transfer some ebooks and I didn't have any problems.  My laptop does treat the ereader like a storage device when I first connect it, so does ESET.  But again, I hadn't re-enabled Malwarebytes real time file protection either.

I thought ESET fixed this issue a long time ago.

New post on their forum today, I don't know what's going on with this issue.

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.
