What anti-virus/anti-malware programs in conflict with one another?

many have said that too many anti-virus/anti-malware programs installed can damage these collide with one another, causing the programs may not run correctly and sometimes cause the computer hang very badly. So what programs shock/does not shock with another?

(eg. malwarebytes and norton are compatible)

It seems that your registry cleaner question has not been answered.

The so-called "registry cleaners" can aggravate a situation and take measures, we are manually updated on many times.
It is better not to rely on these programs, if you don't know what is happening with the proposed fix and the registry.
Otherwise, a change in the registry can make a system that no longer starts due to an error.

Here are a few good discussions:

  • Anti-virus/anti-malware programs

    Windows Defender is sufficient as an anti-virus/anti-malware program; Otherwise, what is compatible with iolo system mechanic/Windows Vist Home premium?

    I would recommend the free Microsoft Security Essentials, which is a complete security package.

    I would also caution the use of any 3rd party reg cleaners etc.. Vista does not need them and they break more often that they set.

  • If you use Firefox to connect to facebook, I get a message on the download of anti-malware programs. How can I stop this?

    A few days ago, I tried to connect to Facebook to play games, chat and so on. After filling in the username and password, I get a message telling me it looks like I have malware on my computer and I need to download certain types of anti-malware program to clean my computer. This only happens when using Firefox. How can I get rid of this? I tried to remove and reinstall Firefox. I ran two major anti-malware programs that work on my laptop. If it is a legitimate program from Fb, I would like the option to refuse. I did not have the choice. I can connect to Fb on Google Chrome without problems, and so I have to conclude that this is a problem with Firefox. Any ideas? I tried to contact Fb, but so far there has been no response.

    If you get a pop-up message asking to put plugins or Firefox updated or anti-malware analysis then this message probably is a scam and you should never respond to such reporting to avoid being infected by malware.

    • Don't update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.
    • Plugins should be updated only through the plugin itself, or by visiting the home page of the plugin.

    Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

  • I think my IE has a virus but not of my scans for virus or malware checks come up with anything. Is there a way to check this?

    I think my IE has a virus but not of my scans for virus or malware checks come up with anything. My computer is running VERY slowly, lagging behind, or even on an occasional basis freezes and stops when I'm on the net. Computer function uses only the net works fine until a program I use try to use Windows Explorer. Is there a difference between Explorer Windows and Internet Exporer and is there a way to check this, other than the usual scans. I have McAfee and AVG, as well as malicious software running on a schedule and they are still running in the background, constantly analyzes the sites.

    I am at a total loss here. I use secure sites (https rather than just http) when the choice and do not use sites that McAfee or AVG is marked as dangerous. It worries me that I have a lot of things, such a Bank, online and not worry that someone could get information. I recently also maually run the two scan disk and Defrag but they can also be programmed to run on a schedule. The model is NOT saved. When I tried ot create a backup disk, when I first bought the model, something has gone wrong, and he refused to back up then reset would mean a great loss of material. If it's a virus, worm, etc., it is done gradually and I'm not sure that a restart of the plant would be useful it is in IE or Windows Explorer (if there is a difference).

    Yes, it is safe to uninstall McAfee.

  • I know I have malware, but my anti-malware programs do not work

    I don't know how I acquired it, but I currently have a program of malicious software called "Malware Defense" on my computer. He frequently appears, claims of malware outside himself and insists that I install. It opens internet explore in the background at all times (I noticed it in the Task Manager), and occasionally, he throws even a couple of shortcuts to pornographic sites on my desktop.
    I tried several withdrawal methods already. Norton Antivirus is no longer at the start, boots and does not open when I click the .exe. Spybot-Search and Destroy does not open when I run. The Task Manager shows it under the 'process', but its window does not appear. I tried to download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, but once I downloaded it, the Installer did the same that Spybot did. As a last effort, I tried to use system restore. It let me get to the point where I could choose the restore point to restore, but when I got to the point where the system restore will actually begin the button 'Next' to activate it was dead. Clicking on it did nothing.
    I think it's important to note that I did everything in that last paragraph in Mode safe, so this program extends somehow influence without even starting up.
    So, how can I solve this one?

    See the remove Malware Defense (uninstall Guide) at BleepingComputer.com .  Be sure to run rkill.com (step 7) before installing Malwarebytes' .

    Hello conducted, it is possible that the important files required to run the Malware bytes could be causing the problem. I suggest you uninstall bytes Malware from your computer by using the Windows Cleanup utility and install it once again. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301 I also suggest that you check the event viewer and find the faulty module which could be the cause of the computer down.

  • an anti malware program that I can't get rid of

    I am running windows vista family premium, I think and I tried to download a program to help opening a zip file, but it turned out to be a kind of antivirus protection tool. I deleted the program, but everytime I open my laptop I get an alert that a program needs my permission to continue; a program called REGTASK. How can I get rid of this problem?

    If you have recently installed the software, you try to run the system restore which will repair back from the computer to the point before the installation of the software.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

    c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    d. click Finish.

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  • I need to buy an anti virus, spyware, malware that is compatible with windows 8?

    Recently I learned by Microsoft engineers in India to get rid of my Norton Antivirus because it was a compatibility problem with my Windows 8 operating system.  It was based on something on New Years Eve brought back my computer and Microsoft had refresh and spend 6 weeks to correct their mistakes, I guess.  So I did what they said and put on Window Defender who works, of course, with the firewall and Microsoft information, it will cover all issues between the 2.  There is something else to my computer using window defender and stop all services, including Audio of 7 days.  So, not being not able to repair myself, I brought to the Geek Squad at my local Best Buy, where I bought the computer.  They looked and said there was no way to turn the services don't turn it back on and the best solution is to completely uninstall Windows 8, if Windows 7 is still on my computer, it was.  I got it home and reinstalled Windows 8 and wanted my Norton, which is bought and paid for by internet until December 31,2013.  I wanted Norton on because Best Buy told me that Windows Defender was not good enough.  And they were very firm on this matter.  I will reiterate that Microsoft/India was very firm about the use of not no Norton, than to use the window Defender.  I called Best Buy using the number that my local Best Buy store I was given and said that they would be able to install again.  They said that they could not do it because I have dial up and they do only access remotely with wireless internet connections high speed.  Moreover, they did this for me once, just after I lost it on New Years Eve.  So now, I'm so angry.  If I go to Best Buy locally to reinstall they probably charge me.  After all, I just stood right in front of them less than 48 hours where they could do it then and they said no, that the services of Best Buy Nat' l/subscription would do it.  So now I'm looking for a new virus protection that is compatible with Windows 8 and is good.  Price be doomed.  I need something good!  Recommendations there or websites for more information.  I tried Cnet for comments and could not make it appear that I have 2 moths ago.  I just don't remember which they recommended.  McAfree was one, I think only.  And it doesn't seem to be compatible with Windows 8.

    But I highly recommend against Norton. In my opinion, this is one of the
    worst choice of security software. For an anti-virus program, I have
    recommend eSet NOD32, if you are willing to pay for it. If you want a

    Avast
