asked on

Malware Bytes PLUS Norton? Or should I just use Norton? Or should I just use Malware bytes? Or... something else

I was told that Malware bytes works with Norton and wouldn't be a redundant package to install on my pc.
I'm looking for second, third and fourth opinions.

Only use one Antivirus or Anti Malware at a time, disable real time protection in all of them except one.
you can keep both, and check your system with each of them time to time.
when you want to scan your system with one of them, disable others.
Also disable Windows Defender Real time Protection.
It should work fine with norton.
FYI, per their web page...

Malwarebytes 3 is a next-generation antivirus replacement.

So a separate antivirus program is not needed

I have personally confirmed that MalwareBytes Premium and SuperAntiSpyware Pro co-exist happily on one machine alongside an AV and have installed both to many client machines. I've also been running both on my Windows 7 Pro workstation (Avast Internet Security as the AV), all 3 with Real-Time protection enabled and no negative performance issues whatsoever.  

I just set Avast, MBP and SAS to do their daily scans at different times, mostly while I'm snoring. :)

Cheers..
