Hi,

Are these 2 fully compatible ?Is it recomended to run both of them at the same time? (both have real time protection)

Thanks,

Greetings, yes the 2 work well together, I've seen many users who use the two of them in tandem without issues or conflicts (both with realtime protection enabled).

Hi,

thank you for your answer!

So, if a threat is detected by both Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Avira AntiVir Premium AT THE SAME TIME , how it will be handled?? If you decide to QUARANTINE it in AntiVir Premium , most likely Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware will not release it to be moved to QUARANTINE by AntiVir and will wait for a selection in its menu, am I right?

Thanks,

If a threat is detected in realtime with Malwarebytes' it will offer you the option to ignore the threat, but 99% of the time either both won't catch it or one will catch it and remove/quarantine it before the other one detects it, generally speaking your AV will have first dibs on anything coming into your computer. Besides that, Malwarebytes' is designed to catch threats not typically detected by antivirus software, in fact that's why it exists, because the AV companies over the past few years have really dropped the ball when it comes to the nastier, and often most common types of malware on the net.
