And by the way: During installing KIS 2020 after Malwarebytes version 4.0. In case of the new workstation I tried to recover the complete system 5 (!) times again and again with different installing sequences – without any success but more or less with all problems listed above. On my Laptop I used a former system recovery point after uninstalling KIS 2020 and Firefox, and I tried to set it up newly, but ultimately the same problems occurred again. Extremely slow shut down of system (in case of the new workstation shut down froze completely too). Programs not closing properly and even after trying to force close with task manager still being open, especially Firefox browser.ġ3. Not being able to uninstall MalwareBytes properly.ġ2. Not being able to use Power shell (neither in the standard mode nore in the Administrator mode) – Power shell froze completely.ġ1. Not being able to open search box in the taskbar.ġ0. Not being able to open Firefox after closing it (massive problems incl. The problems can be described as follows (list maybe not complete):Ĥ. Fortunately I didn´t upgrade KIS on my “old” workstation which runs unchanged stable. And since then on both Laptop and new workstation nothing worked well anymore and a lot of problems occurred (ok, to be honest in case of the new workstation I suspected an incompatibility between GPU and HP components, and therefore I sent it back under warranty). Parallelly I tried to set up a brand new HP workstation Z2 G4 (with a NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000), and of course I tried to install the same software combo as described above (with actual KIS 2020 version). actual 73.0.Īll worked fine together and both systems/computers run well and stable (even Malwarebytes blocked several PUPs and PUMs while KIS detected nothing) – but unfortunately only until I updated KIS from 2019 version to 2020 version on my laptop. Not sure whether this is an issue for this thread or an issue for the technical support (by the way: didn´t find an according German thread up to now): Up to now I have used following OS and AVs on both my Laptop (HP EliteBook x360 G5) and PC (HP Workstation z240): If it comes to a choice the Malwarebytes stays and I will find an antivirus that will play nicely with it (even if that AV is slightly inferior to Kaspersky). I appreciate there may be no "theoretical" need for it with Kaspersky but that is not the point. I am NOT going to remove their Malwarebytes - it has saved their skins on many occasion and is a trusted application for me. I do want to install Kaspersky Free on a few machines of family members however (who also have Malwarebytes Pro) and don't want any hassles going forwards with Kaspersky updates refusing to install because of hte presence of the Malwarebytes realtime modules.Ĭan someone from Kaspersky please clarify. I wish to keep my lifetime subscription to Malwarebytes and have in fact been running the two intandem with no ill effects at all. This article implies (by its absence) that the official stance is that it is fine. Others say it is not supported but works okay with mutual exclusions and the following article makes no mention of Malwarebytes being an incompatible program to Kaspersky. Some community FAQ's say it is not allowed (recommended). There is a lot of information and possible mis-information on the internet (various forums) about the use of Malwarebytes Pro and Kaspersky Free Antivirus together.
