Advice Request Anti Malware Recommendation with KAV 2017

[smokeyjoe]

Hi - I was using Zemana Anti Malware fine for several months but a recent update to the program is flagging it as unsafe by Kaspersky. I ended up uninstalling Zemana before I realized it was a false positive and I'm not sure if I was to reinstall it if I would have the same problem. I also was using a free 1 year license and I forget what that code was..

Anyway, any suggestions for another anti malware that works nicely with Kaspersky? Preferably free or with a deal going on.. I won't use MBAM 3.0.. tried it and nothing but issues.

Anyone have experience using VoodooShield along side Kaspersky? And do they play nice?

thanks,

Yes! try SpyShelter Premium with Kaspersky!

VoodooShield free goes very well a super addition connected to virus total,give it a try,pro version is 20 a year,novirusthanks is another alternate worth looking at. good luck

Thanks I actually have a life time license with Voodooshield and am using it on 2 other computers, but neither of them use Kaspersky so that's why I'm weary.

I use KIS 2017 with Voodooshield and they run great together if that helps.

Zemana and Voodoosheild are both really good programs. I used both in conjunction with Avast for a little while.

Yes! try SpyShelter Premium with Kaspersky!

I can also tell you that SpyShelter Premium works flawlessly with KIS 17. I also use Zemana Anti-Malware and it has never been flagged by Kaspersky as unsafe.

KIS/KAV is solid already, adding anything (but maybe a 2nd OD scanner) is just redundant and resource wasting, if you don't trust it, don't use it.
A layered config isn't about adding the same kind of feature but adding a features that is missing in the main solution.

@smokeyjoe add Zemana AM free , you will be safe enough.

And it is broken in Creator Update lol

VS is a great tool and i didn't encounter any conflicts with KIS ,
but the question is if this additional protection layer on top of Kaspersky is really improving the security level ... ?

Zemana is absolutely harmless. If Kaspersky detects it, then it is a false positive.
I dont think neither Voodoshield nor Zemana would cause any conflicts with Kaspersky (TAM disabled).
Personally, I would just use Kaspersky+TAM though.
Zemana for on demand scans (realtime off), unless you are in a risky environment.
