Does BitDefender get on well with Malwarebytes?

Hello there!

I recently acquired a copy of BitDefender Premium.

I was wondering if Malwarebytes Premium is compatible with BitDefender or not (and if it's really needed, which I guess is a very subjective question).

I just want to make sure both of them will get on well, or if I will need to return my copy of Malwarebytes.

Thanks!

(Techincally speaking, I'd like to know if there will be any conflicts between both software packages).

This is to inform you that both bitdefender & malwarebytes do conflict with each other if malwarebytes is installed first (but this case is only true if you are using free version of bitdefender antivirus)

But since you are using a premium version of bitdefender, you will never face any issue with malwarebytes premium . Though bitdefender is excellent at detecting malwares and phishing/ malicious website, it is average when it comes down to PUP detection (on my personal opinion)

This is where malwarebytes can come in handy. Malwarebytes is tough on detecting PUP's. Hence it is totally upto you if you want to use bitdefender premium with malwarebytes.

But it is always recommended to use only one security software. So, according to me you can use bitdefender premium as your main security software with malwarebytes free (scanning the system once in a week with it).

If you want you can also use malwarebytes premium, it will not cause any issue until you are using premium version of bitdefender with it instaed of free version of bitdefender.

If this helps, kindly mark answer as agree/ accepted
