Which free AV work with MBAM 3.x?

[nobodyuknow]

MBAM 3.x is stated to function alongside "the free AV that comes with modern operating systems" which obviously refers to Windows Defender on 8.1/10 and MSE on 7. I'd like to hear from people who are successfully using a free third-party AV with MBAM 3.x. Don't forget to name names.

All the good, reputable antivirus programs can work together with Malwarebytes.

As a general forum principle, we neither endorse nor critique specific AV choices.

That's because this forum is owned and operated by Malwarebytes Corporation, and they work closely with other security software publishers.

It would, therefore, be "tacky" and inappropriate to recommend one product over another.

 

MSE (aka Defender in Win 8/8.1/10) has its fans and its detractors.

It's probably "as good as" any other free, antivirus.

Regarding the "Free" AVs, you might find this post from a MS MVP and security expert interesting or helpful: http://www.bleepingc...s/#entry3781476

 

However, there is no one "best" AV to suit all computers, users, and budgets.

If you search the forum here (and any of the reputable computer security fora), you'll find many, many threads about this.
