Having had a discussion about BD TS and MBAM Pro running together on computer in The New Bitdefender forums I would like to know if there is any advantage or disadvantage of running Bitdefender Mobile Security and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Mobile at the same time on mobile devices? I have them both enabled at present on both android tablet and mobile and don't see any problems.

  • Hello,


    Normally there shouldn't be any issues.


    First off all remember that in Android every app. runs in it's on VM so they don't interact with one another ( well at least normal apps don't ).


    The down side that you might notice by running two or more apps that listen for system events when a new app. is installed ( on-install scanning ) is you might see some short-minute slow down because all the apps that listen for this event are starting at the same time.


    But if your device has some strong hardware ( more than 512mb RAM and a higher CPU ) chances are that no slow down will occur.

  • Thank you Daniel.M. Mobile is a Samsung S3 Mini and no, I don't see any slowdowns so I guess I will just leave them be. :)
