I thought I'd like to have another source of security and have had good luck in the past with MBAM (Free version). Should I worry about any conflict with WSA internet security? Thanks.

I run Malwarebytes along side WSA.  In fact, one day MBAM picked up a threat that WSA didn't and when I inquired into this through support, they told me that MBAM is good in that it picks of remnant's left over from WSA.  So, they are a great team in perfect harmony.  😉

Hi jreddoch
 
Yes, WSA & MBAM should play nicely together as WSA has been designed from the ground up to work with other security apps. Having said that there have been some reports of issues (if you do a search of this site at the Community level withthe search criteria "MBAM" you should find some relevant threads) but these are few and far between.
 
I have run both together and have not yet encountered any issues.
 
Hope that helps?
 
Regards, Baldrick

Hi jreddoch
 
If you do give it a go and run into any issues then please do post back as there a number of things that we could try to remediate the situation...but I am hopeful that these won't be needed. ;)
