Malwarebytes not working with AVG any more

David,

I am sorry that AVG is treating everybody, including you, like trash. Clearly, AVG has forgotten who put them where they are.

As a business owner with direct influence over countless machines, I am warning my customers about the pitfalls of AVG's products and why they are hazardous for your business security. And it's pretty easy to do, too! Ha ha!

AVG, your tomfoolery has not gone unnoticed. AVG is circling the drain. Their product became bloatware in 2011, and now in November 2017 it has fatal security holes.

I found this page through a google seach regarding AVG disabling protection because of Malwarebytes. wtfmates? Obviously, some crooked AVG executive isn't getting enough cocaine on his desk.

David,
After recent AVG update, customer will receive notification as "AVG is in passive mode" when there are other security program installed on your PC.
This update was released to inform customers about the necessity of having a single antivirus program on their computer.
It is not recommended to have two security program running on same PC which might cause various issues for the PC at any time.
We do not want our customers to face any difficulties because of these conflicts with antivirus program.

Does any one know about Malwarebytes working with AVG?
For years I have had not problems with this and all has worked well.
Now when coming up Windows says its Windows firewall AND AVG firewall are turned off.
Does AVG turn off its own firewall AND Windows firewall leaving the computer unprotected?

Malwarebytes is the best antivirus, if I can only keep one I will keep Malwarebytes hands down.

The conflict between antivirus program is the same from the beginning but it is our duty to inform customers about the impact of the issues that would occur, hence we decided to highlight customers through this update. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

It is not possible to run AVG in active mode when Malwarebytes is installed on your PC but I assure you that AVG Antivirus protection will be more advanced and will provide the best protection for your PC.

Hello David,

Please be informed that if any other antivirus program installed on a windows PC, the Firewall of windows operating system will automatically turned off.
When the other antivirus program is disabled or completely removed then windows Firewall should turn on automatically.
If you have installed AVG Antivirus successfully and it says a fully protected then the windows firewall will be turned off.
