exile360 Posted November 24, 2008 ID:36297 Share Posted November 24, 2008 MBAM works fine with Kaspersky because MBAM (Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware) isn't an anti-virus. To ensure you get the best performance I would recommend opening Kaspersky by clicking on the K tray icon then clicking on settings on the top right. Then click on Threats and Exclusions on the left and click the lower button that says Trusted Zone. Once there, click on the Trusted Applications tab on the upper right and click the small link on the lower left that says Add. 2 options should drop down, you want the second one that says Applications with an arrow next to it (this is assuming that MBAM is currently running), and click on the list where it shows C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe. A new window from Kaspersky will pop up saying Exclusions with a list and some boxes next to each item. Check all 3 boxes and click OK. Click OK on the Trusted Zone window, then click Apply on the lower right of the Settings window, then click OK to close it. You can then close the main Kaspersky window by clicking the red x at the top. You're done. This prevents the 2 programs from interfering with one another while having realtime protection active for both. I highly recommend doing the same for any other anti-malware\anti-spyware programs you choose to run in realtime. I hope I have been helpful. Good luck and safe surfing.
