Kaspersky 2012 and Malwarebytes

[Tabvla]

Does anyone know if Kaspersky Internet Securuty 2012 and Malwarebytes are compatible or incompatible?

Can a Malwarebytes scan be run on a computer with KIS2012 active without causing any catastrophic problems?

Thanks in advance

I run KIS 12 and MBAM PRO on a Win 7 laptop with no trouble. I did add MBAM to the Trusted Application list in KIS (Advanced Settings > Threats and Exclusions > Trusted applications).

Thanks for you prompt reply.

Has MBAM ever detected malware that was missed by KIS2012 ?

Of course.

There is not 1 product out there that can catch everything at one time. That is why a layered approach is best.

We usually are better in catching the Rogue Antiviruses earlier then they normally do for example.

We update multiple times a day. So if something changes that change is added to the next database within hours where usually other products have once a day updates.

Some malware changes 3 -4 times a day so we react quicker do to our updates being so fast.
