Multiple virus/malware products prevent AVG protection

Bill, Please be informed that the free version of Malwarebytes doesn't have the resident protection hence there is no issue running together with AVG. However, the paid version of Malwarebytes has a resident protection which is causing AVG to run in passive mode. So I would request you to uninstall Malwarebytes to activate AVG on your PC or disable the Malwarebytes resident part.

     I am running AVG Free along with Malwarebytes. Everything was been running fine until I updated AVG today. With the installation of version 17.7.3032, protection was not enabled after restart of Windows/7.
     I get a window saying AVG is running in "Passive Mode" and that if I turn it off the two products will get in each others way. Then, it says I must uninstall Malwarebytes to continue.
     Is there a way to run the two products together ?
 

Hello Bill,
I'm sorry, but after AVG 17.7 version updates, we do not recommend our customer to keep two security program at a time. Please be informed that the free version of Malwarebytes doesn't have the resident protection hence there is no issue running together with AVG. However, the paid version of Malwarebytes has a resident protection which is causing AVG to run in passive mode. So I would request you to uninstall Malwarebytes to activate AVG on your PC or disable the Malwarebytes resident part.
Best regards,
Alok.

Thank you. I am communicating with Malwarebytes technical support to see if they have a plan to address this conflict.
