This leaves your system at risk or vulnerable to attacks and data breaches.ĭated software lacks important upgrades or patches. For this reason, it will keep turning off after you turn it on. – Malwarebytes May Be OutdatedĪ dated Malwarebytes software has many limitations, including being unable to run continually. These are the most common issues that may pop up when using Malwarebytes, so let’s look at these and other causes in detail. Malwarebytes turns off all the time because of outdated software, malware infection, conflicting software use, technical issues, or installation errors. Why Does Malwarebytes Turn off All the Time?

Hopefully Bitdefender will fix the external drive issue soon as it is quite annoying. I didn't do anything in Malwarebytes, just ran a default scan & it came up clean:-) Bitdefender hasn't had any issues with Malwarebytes either (yet). Just added Malwarebytes program files to Bitdefender safe files & all good. I've installed Malwarebytes & both it & Bitdefender working together fine (so far). To do so, exclude Bitdefender's program folder(s) along with any of its services/processes the run in the background if stored elsewhere (like within the Windows folder or any other common location where files not just specific to Bitdefender are stored if there are any) via the process described under the Exclude a File or Folder section found in this support article and the items listed in this support article should be excluded from Bitdefender's real-time protection. That said, if you wish to configure mutual exclusions between the two programs, it certainly couldn't hurt, especially since even if there are no conflicts, it could still improve overall system performance to some degree (though of course it isn't guaranteed to, but it couldn't hurt to try). If you do run into any trouble please let us know and we will do our best to assist you in addressing it, but I don't expect you'll have any problems. I haven't heard about the safely remove hardware issue for external drives, however that's not too surprising since it apparently isn't related to Malwarebytes (though just FYI Malwarebytes had a similar issue a while back with its Ransomware Protection component causing a similar problem, however that has long since been resolved several versions/releases ago). Yes, it is my understanding that Bitdefender and Malwarebytes work fine together as long as Bitdefender is installed first followed by Malwarebytes and I haven't heard any recent reports to the contrary so you should be in good shape if you want to give them a try together. If anyone has any further tips re installing/running the two programs I'd rather not learn from the school of hard knocks, like I have in the past.

But after reading this post I'm hoping they work ok together as long as I install Malwarebytes after BD is installed? Is that correct? Just want to clarify.

So I've downloaded Malwarebytes but haven't installed it yet, as I was a bit concerned that it and BD would not be compatible. I'm also experiencing some other issues with Bitdefender and my subscription expires in about 2 months so I'd like to start researching possible alternate security options.

Interested to see if any incompatibility issues.Īlso wondering if anyone else here using Bitdefender is currently experiencing issues with safety removing external usb hard drives (forum link: ). Hi all, just joined the forum because I'm currently running Bitdefender 2019 Total Security & I'm looking at complimenting it with Malwarebytes.

I have no connection to either company, other than being a "Trusted Advisor" on this Forum, and a member of the Bitdefender Forum. This is just my two cents and does not reflect the opinion of either company. That said, BDTS does not claim to address the malware programs, like adware, browser redirectors, etc., and such, at which MBP is so adept. You might also be interested in this post. You might want to read this post about why MBP is not considered a full-fledged anti-virus computer security solution. There is some overlap, but for now, they each have individual capabilities that the other lacks. I am very confident that BDTS and MBP will keep me protected from all but the most stupid of mistakes. Concur with The interface between the chair and the keyboard is the greatest vulnerability, but security is all about "layers".
