Sine AVG is forcing me to make the choice I am choosing Malwarebytes. On more than one occasion Malwarebytes has found things that AVG did not. THIS IS HIGHLY UNETHICAL!ĪVG is good for viruses but has NO track record on other malware such as ransomware, while Malwarebytes does. You are not entitled to a prorated refund for the remainder of your AVG premium subscription that they have rendered unuseable in a push to blackmail you into dropping Malwarebytes. It doesn't matter to AVG that it is THEY who have created the problem!ģ. You will be told, if you complain, that it is not advised to run two anti-virus programs. AVG has, by itself and as a push to make more money, without warning, made its premium product incompatible with premium Malwarebytes despite no previous such issues for individuals running both products without issues.Ģ. I have just spent the better part of four hours searching forums for an answer, speaking with a phone rep whom I could not understand, then participating in an online chat with another person but have found out the folowing:ġ. I agree with the poster above that AVG has changed enormously, monetizing itself in an obtrusive way, pushing itself in increasing numbers of pop-up ads that try to use scare tactics to sell products above and beyond the premium product.

I too have just discovered that the new update of my premium AVG protection is forcing me to make a choice between it and Malwarebytes premium both of which I have been using for at least a couple years, and using the free version for probably ten years before that. (That was sarcasm in case you didn't get that either)

I will await your canned response with a link to some stupid article telling me how to uninstall Malwarebytes. Please, either tell me how to apply exceptions so that AVG and Malwarebytes will run together as before OR give me my money back and I will find a less disruptive solution. I do not trust AVG enough, especially now, to catch everything on its own. You guys used to be the best at preventing the problems and now you are the problem. Malwarebytes catches the things that AVG doesn't and that makes (made) them a great pairing.

Now this? You guys are starting ti suck at what you do and how you do it. The first major problem cost me a couple of days screwing around with the firewall. Exactly what anti virus/anti-malware programs are supposed to prevent. The last couple of "forced", unauthorized and uninvited updates have been nothing but trouble and distraction. I have used AVG and Malwarebytes simultaneously and smoothly for years. I am 100% in the same position as Greg Dyer. What the hell is the matter with you guys? You used be really good, now you seem to be sucking and your canned responses to be peoples problems with your "new" way of doing things is appalling. (I came to this site to see if there was a work-around, but now I see there is a basic incompatibility which I cannot get around - you are forcing me to choose.) That is why I cannot conceive of re-installing AVG. From my point-of-view, it was AVG that froze my computers and caused chaos, because both apps were working just fine until you did that.

I particularly resent you pushing out an upgrade w hen you knew it would cause these problems, without giving any clear notice. I'd love to keep using both, but since I've had to choose, I'm keeping Malwarebytes and looking for an alternative to AVG. Only when I unintentionally let the AVG upgrade slip through the firewall a few weeks did this chaos ensue - the result of an application update I didn't want or request. The AVG definitions updated daily, virus scans went smoothly, and Malwarebytes worked well, as always. The ironic thing is that things worked fine as long as my firewall (I'm still using ZoneAlarm) kept the AVG update from loading successfully a few weeks ago.

Then chaos until I uninstalled AVG, which solved the problem. Then each computer started freezing completely, right after the AVG upgrade was pushed out (I neither wanted nor asked for it). I too have used AVG & Malwarebytes for years, very successfully & happily, on two desktops.
