Hello Harjinder and
 
If you refer to Malwarebytes Compatibility with Antivirus Products, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware v2.1.8.1057 (MBAM) (Free, Trial or Premium) you see that MBAM is compatible with Bitdefender Total Security 2015.

 

You stated above that you "disable(d) Bitdefender Total Security 2015.But unable to install it." Please expand on that and relate what was reported during the time Bitdefender was disabled and you attempted to install MBAM.

 

Attaching screenshots of error/failure messages to this topic would be helpful.

 

Thank you.

I use 2015 Bitdefender Total Security with MBAM Premium 2.1.8.1057 and with MB Anti-Exploit.  I did experience a problem updating MBAM on one of my computers (the first one I tried to update).  I turned off all BDTS virus scanning and the firewall, and the MBAM install still failed.  In checking the BD logs, BD was detecting an "intrusion."  I turned off "Intrusion Protection" and the install went fine.  Did that with my remaining two computers and the MBAM update was successful.

 

There was a thread here awhile ago that said that BD had updated itself to allow the MBAM update.  Are your BD definitions up-to-date, and have you rebooted, if required to do so by BD to complete its update (about every month or so it needs a reboot)?

 

Remember to turn your protection back on after the update, and just to keep your computer "happy", reboot after the MBAM update.  You can also add the .exe files in the MBAM folder to your BD exclusions.  I had done that, but the new MBAM update has an additional .exe file: mabamresearch.exe which had not been entered in my BD exclusions, so perhaps that is what triggered the MBAM update failure I encountered until I also turned off the BD Intrusion Protection.  This should further reduce the possibility of BD interfering with MBAM.

 

Hope this helps, and have a great day.  Welcome to the MB Forums.

 

Regards,

-Phil
