Virus's are different from malware. AV programs on look for virus's and not malware. I would highly recommend using Malwarebytes and a few others as well because one doesn't find them all.

Malwarebytes
Spybot Search and Destroy
SuperAntispyware
Ccleaner
Tdsskiller

Those are all malware and spyware removers...not AV software, so no conflicts.

Let me rephrase that...Virus software is different the malware software so that Anti Virus software only looks for Virus's. As far as I know Malwarybytes does not have a built in Anti Virus engine. Now the paid for version, Malwarebytes Pro is supposed to have a built in AV. Most of us here only use the free version as we all have a particular AV of choice and most of us using Windows 8 use the Windows built in AV (Defender).

Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer

Virus's are different from malware.

A virus is a form of malware an MBAM was designed to be able to detect and get rid of viruses that may slip past the AV.


MSE is an antivirus program but it does not work on Windows 8. Windows Defender is an antivirus program and malware program that comes with Windows 8. You can use malwarebytes with it
