Is it OK to run Malwarebytes with ESET?

[natv]

I'd like to purchase the full version which provides real-time protection but I've always heard that running two different AV solutions is a bad thing (system performance, file contention, etc)

Is it OK to full real time Malwarebytes protection along with ESET? Or is it one or the other?

MBAM is compatible with AV products, including ESET. If interoperability issues exist, they can easily be remedied by adding to MBAM's (and.or ESET's) exclusions.

And it's true. Though Malwarebytes is not an Antivirus, but an Antimalware, so it is meant to run alongside another security solution without causing any conflict.
