AVG conflicting, extended questions.

[PunishedPCuser]

Since an AVG update a few days ago, it keeps conflicing with MBAM constantly.

I did check this thread 

and followed the advice to check "never register in windows media center".

 

Now both programs dont conflict with eachother, but I cant tell for sure if MBAM is active. I did download mbam-test.exe, and when I clicked on the "exploit" button It didnt open the calculator, BUT no MBAM popup showed up telling me it was blocked.

Is MBAM still working even tough the notifications dont appear?

Greetings and welcome,

Please try visiting iptest.malwarebytes.com.  That is a test page for testing our web blocking protection.  You shouldn't be able to reach the page and should receive a notification about the block.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks

Just tried and this time I get the MBAM popup telling something was blocked, and the browser saying it was blocked too but this one was already appearing.

 

So basically,  even without the popup appearing, the browser saying MBAM blocked the URL is proof enough that everything is working?

Yes, the browser block page is actually a redirect and due to the way caching works in Windows, sometimes the redirect shows up as it should, and sometimes it does not (I frequently have the same problem on my own system).
