Add to Malwarebytes Exclusions the following folders.

C:\Program Files\Windows Defender
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Defender
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender (Enable hidden files to add this one.)

For Win 10 PRO only also add these Folders.
C:\Program Files\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (Enable hidden files to add this one.)

For Windows Defender
Add these to FILE Exclusions

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbae64.sys
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\mbam.sys

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MbamElam.sys
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MBAMChameleon.sys
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MBAMSwissArmy.sys
C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\farflt.sys

Add to Process exclusions the following files. (copy and paste works best on these)

C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\MbamPt.exe

C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\mbam.exe

C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\assistant.exe

C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\malwarebytes_assistant.exe

C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\MBAMWsc.exe

C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\mbamtray.exe

C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\MBAMService.exe

Folders
Also the MB folder in Program Files and the one in Program Data (it is hidden by default)

C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes
C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes   (Enable hidden files to add this one.)

Feel free to reference this post to help users who like me who use Windows Defender with Malwarebytes Premium.

These can be adapted to most Antivirus programs.

These exclusions have allowed 0 issues with MB on all the computers I service.

For those who knock Defender....

Hello @Porthos

Thnks for your help.

Is this list still valid today ? or should some exclusions be changed ?

In most cases exclusions are not needed. Are  you having signs of an issue @IdefixPC

Please see the following article

Thanks @AdvancedSetup for your answer.

I'm using the combo WD + MB on two modern PC Windows 10 pro and I made exclusions on both for each other; no problem on one and problem with the other: high CPU usage due to "Antimalware Service Executable".

Can you help me ?
