Kaspersky says that about all other security software.

Exclusions might not help. You can try the following.

Please add the items listed in this support article to Your AV 's allow list(s)/trust list(s)/exclusion list(s) particularly for any of its real-time protection components

Kaspersky is responsible for this and it is out of Malwarebytes control. All Kaspersky will say if contacted is that Malwarebytes is not compatible and that's it.

Personally I would dump Kaspersky and use Windows Defender (Win 10 or 11) with the paid version of Malwarebytes.

I agree with the above. I use malwarebytes and windows defender both work flawlessly together. Both products are constantly improving. Just keep those windows updates up- to-date and run periodically defrag and disk cleanup.

Hi malwarefighterx:

Also see the Malwarebytes support article Issues Running Other Security Applications and Malwarebytes for Windows.  Kaspersky antivirus products are currently in the list of third-party applications known to interfere with Malwarebytes, and Malwarebytes recommends that you either disable the Malwarebytes Web Protection feature in Malwarebytes Premium or "disable" these third-party applications (I assume that means "uninstall" and not simply disabling an individual Kaspersky component like Web Anti-Virus), if installed.
