nov1 Posted February 4, 2017 ID:1099058 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hey guys, If for example you were running an AV alongside MBAM, and while in real time they both detect a potentially malicious website at the very same time, what would then happen in relation to the site being blocked?

Aura Posted February 5, 2017 ID:1099134 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hi nov1 I don't think it's possible for it to happen, because one product will have the detection a few milliseconds before the other and therefore perform his action. There's no saying what would happen if that situation occured though. These are what I would call exceptional circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nov1 Posted February 6, 2017 Author ID:1099472 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hey Aura, After giving it some thought on the matter, I'm thinking I may just use MBAM in real time, and then use my Kaspersky as an additional scanner when I need it. Do you think this could work out for me? Or of course just try the option we spoke about above and use them simultaneously. Not really sure what to do from here, Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted February 6, 2017 ID:1099474 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Personally I would do the opposite. Whenever you are using an Antivirus and an Antimalware, it'll always be your Antivirus that will be your "main line of defense". You can use Kaspersky and Malwarebytes together in real-time. Malwarebytes is an Antimalware and was created to complement existing Antivirus products, so there's no problem in running it alongside an Antivirus on your system. I've used Kaspersky and Malwarebytes for years, and never once did I encounter the situation you mentionned above, so the chances of it happening to you are most likely close to null Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
