Malwarebytes 3.0 Premium is an Antivirus, yes or no?

I bought Malwarebytes 3.0 Premium, I want to know if I can remove Avast to use only Malwarebytes.

Hi pop0ti,

Malwarebytes 3.0 is not an Antivirus, and you should still use an Antivirus (like Avast!) alongside it.

As long as Malwarebytes doesn' t change its promotion for MB3, this question will be asked over and again.

I know, my following sentence is a very harsh assessment, but I can't describe it in another way::

The perpetuation of the promotion "Makes your Antivirus obsolete" is intentionally wrong, purposely fallacious and deliberately fraudulent!

Such misleading promotion isn't condign to the standards the Malwarebytes enterprise demands on itself, at least in the past.

An automobile made the horse obsolete as a means of transportation. No one ever stated that an automobile is a horse (except for a few here on the forum).

"Makes your Antivirus obsolete" is the vision of MBAM. Nothing fraudulent or misleading. Just a handful of individuals twisting MBAM's words to make themselves seem credible.

AV signatures are not the protective assurance they once were. Nearly all AV providers recognize this and their response is to add antimalware protection to their aging AV programs under expanded products calling themselves "Internet Security:, "Total Security", etc. etc..

MBAM v3 is here to protect your system. Can you cite one example where an MBAM-protected machine was compromised by a virus that a commercially available AV product would have stopped.

None of the products can stop the worst virus which is the end user.

I only use Malwarebytes and MCShield for USB sticks.

"Makes your Antivirus obsolete" doesn't express any "vision". Where do you see there the word vision or only a vague seem of that word?

Even if one anyhow would follow your interpretation I must declare I don't want a "vsision" as protection for my PC, I want a sturdy protection!

And there isn't any twisting as well. 

Maybe you should read "Makes your Antivirus obsolete" once again more carefully and word by word to detect, that it is nothing but a pure, clear, unambiguous, but unproven statement and claim. Sorry, but any other interpretation is pipe dream.

Because i don't like quibbleism it's needless for me to continue that discussion. Every reader here in the forum may come to his own interpretation of Malwarebytes promotion "Makes your Antivirus obsolete" - I suppose, that the majority will come to the same view as I.

I wish all members of the forum already a Happy Easter.
