Malwarebytes vs Antivirus
We have Trend Micro in our network. After looking at sever audit failure logs on windows domain server, we ran scan and couldnt find anything.
After running scan by malwarebytes we found several issues and cleaned up. This appears to have helped with malwarebytes.
Can we do away with Trendmicro and just have malwarebytes or do we need both malwarebytes and trendmicro?

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer:
Figure out which features are important to you. As a Managed Service Provider, we need server-centric solutions with which we can control deployments, profiles, etc. from a centralized server. We also want a very small footprint and a lot of flexibility to create exceptions, groups, etc.
Of course, price is an issue as well.
The bottom line is just about any solution you get is going to be fine as long as it hits the price point you need and has the feature set you need. They're all going to protect you pretty much as well as any other.

Dont think Trend micro does malware scan. Malwarebytes did report lot of malware. I guess question would be rephrased. Can malwarebytes do antivirus or is there a good product that does it all?
Yes, it does. Take a look at their page.

> I have run multiple AV over the years, and sometimes one company gets the a virus signature ahead of the others.
did you observe how much processor and memory resource was used by the multiple AV and for the AV on the system? did you notice any resource conflicts even dead lock caused the AV packages on the same system? be aware that basically an AV works the exact same way that a virus does, at the same low level in terms of self-protection, resource monitoring and interrupt capturing.

My first lines in the previous comment says:
I've also install malwarebytes and run it with no issues on the systems with AV. I never had issues with RAM or CPU. If you are having issue, then you're doing it wrong.
You only run one in real-time mode. You don't install them on the same systems, that would be stupid.I also installed the 2nd one on a separate server for remotely scanning the file server. You also exclude the other AV during that very first scan.

I didn't say I'm having issues, just that it will have an impact on resources.

Both Security Essentials aka Defender OnAccess and Cylance On-Access working on a 5,700 desktop rollout Windows 10 with no issues!
Other than catching many malware trojans mining apps a day that gets missed!!! By Defender!
I'll let you know about a much larger rollout when completed!

Hi Andrew, I'm not sure if this was directed at me but I added the exception is your security profile because you are using AV + Cybersecurity AI and they are different security classes, which is why they work together very well.
In fact I am fundamentally against AI, but that is where the security industry is headed. Definitions are a backwards methodology for detecting malicious code/applications.

AI is the future compared to legacy old AV solutions!
definitions are not fool-proof, zero day viruses and malware that dont have a definition/signature need AI/ML to catch the behavior
I believe we are all saying the same thing...but have not heard from the OP except once!
Exactly why the current non-efficient AV cannot deal with many thousand seat installations, and our clients are switching now in droves to Cylance! - AI!
and although SCCM currently in place and Endpoint, that is probably now on borrowed time, but one simple policy change can turn that on or off!

I like Cylance. I prefer single software at the end point then, traffic inspection as it moves through the network, mix and match your firewall vendors if you want, with SSL inspection we see it all, and action accordingly.
In my opinion, if you stick with some quality products, that is half the battle.

We have Trendmicro subscription. We just installed Malwarebytes endpoint solution.
We have had several issues due to malwarebytes such as workstations performance being degraded, unable to access shared drives, false positives.
I liked the malwarebytes management console but I will be looking at other solutions at this point.

I overheard malwarebytes 3 version can used as replacement for antivirus. So trying to gauge if we can replace trendmicro antivirus with malwarebytes to be cost effective.
