It may even work without any further configuration.

Malwarebytes is coded in a different way and is designed to run alongside other antivirus programs without interfering. RELATED: Antivirus Slowing Your PC Down? Maybe You Should Use Exclusions They can interfere with each other in a variety of ways, slowing down your computer, causing crashes, or even preventing each other from working. The standard advice is that you shouldn’t have real-time scanning enabled for two antivirus programs enabled at once.

The problem is that your main antivirus program is already functioning in this way. Malwarebytes will run in the background, scanning your system and files you open for problems and preventing them from taking root on your system in the first place. (Yes Malwarbytes can be run alongside an Anti- Virus, it works differently to 'regular' AVs).The paid version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium also contains real-time scanning features. Note2- If you already an anti-virus, other than Windows Defender, installed you may need to set up some exclusions in the AV so that they will both run happily side-by-side. If you want to keep the real time protection after the trial you will need to purchase a regular activation key. (Once you have the key you can register it later).Īfter the 3-month trial ends Malwarbytes will revert to the 'Scan only' version, which is always handy to have but doesn't include real time protection. So if you want a 3-month trial key then fill in the form now.

The trial activation key is valid for Windows, Mac, or Android versions of Malwarebytes.ĮDIT- this giveaway is currently only planned to run for this month, February, see the post below. Simply enter your name and email address on this offer page to get your Free activation key for 3 months trial usage: It normally comes with a 14 day trial built in, so if you've not installed the latest version yet (v4.#) then you could use that 14 days and then enter the 3 month key to give you even longer. Fancy a 3 month trial of Malwarebytes premium?
