Anti-Virus Incompadible

[bashbish]

I have MB premium for 2 years now.

I have used AVG Free for some of that time and Bitdefender Free for some of that time. Neither one of those AV conflicted with MB until now.This morning AVG did an update that required a restart. After I restarted AVG would not let me proceed unless I uninstalled MB. I then proceeded to uninstall AVG free. After that I installed Bitdefender free and I received the same issue (must uninstall MB to continue with Bitdefender). MB has always said it is designed to run with AV software (no Conflict). It would seem that at least 2 AV companies no longer agree with that.

I am now running  MB with Windows Defender which so far has presented no conflict.

I would rather run AVG Free or Bitdefender Free because I believe they are better at detection than WD.

Thoughts anyone ?

Correction: What I meant was that both AVG and Bitdefender would not let me use real time protection unless I uninstalled MB. This is new to me. In the past these Anti Virus lived in tandem with MB with both having real time protection turned on.

Greetings and welcome,

What happens if you remove Malwarebytes temporarily, install your antivirus of choice, reboot, then reinstall Malwarebytes and activate its protection?  Does it work then or do they still alert you/require you to disable one or the other?
