BitDefender Internet Security 2016. Do I also need MalwareBytes Pro?

[Lukajlo]

So Active threat Control to put on Permisive if I want to use Malwarebytes Antimalware Pro?

 

[Morvotron]

Yes!

Lol kidding no, don't. Aforementioned, BitDefender has a high impact on the system, and besides, it offers enough good protection. You can still use free version of MalwareBytes as an on-demand scanner. Maybe combine it with MalwareBytes AntiExploit.

Where to change Bitdefender HIPS?

So Active threat Control to put on Permisive if I want to use Malwarebytes Antimalware Pro?

No, Active threat control must be left on normal. To find HIPS, click on modules, and go into Intrusion Detection. There you will find the HIPS (permissive by default)

Which one is the best?

I used all three. . It's just a portable secondary scanner. usually when i use other people's computer I'll just plug my thumbdrive and run all these 3.

 

[PVA_BR]

in one word NO!
bitdefender is heavy enough to slow down your system...

And, If I remember it well, Bitdefender dislikes (wasn't compatible) with Malwarebytes.

, are their products as good as the test results?).

I like it a lot. Using since 2015 and still happy (besides a slow boot problem with the old 2015 version).

I can not decide between BitDefender IS 2016 and MalwareBytes Pro. Can somenone help me?

Run them both, you cant compare An Anti Virus Security Suite to a Anti Malware Companion Software.
Bitdefender is an Anti Virus, MalwareBytes is a Anti Malware Software designed to run alongside Anti Virus Products.
And I think it was answered here (thats your thread) -> BitDefender Internet Security 2016. Do I also need MalwareBytes Pro

As stated above, Bitdefender is an Antivirus (IS is an Internet Security suite) and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is an Antimalware. If you want to go with both, in that situation, assuming you don't have another Antivirus and Firewall installed, you could.

 

[Lukajlo]

So I need them both? Really? Even I have BitDefender?

 

[Aura]

A good setup should have at least an Antivirus, Antimalware and Firewall. Bitdefender Internet Security will be your Antivirus and Firewall, while Malwarebytes will be your Antivirus. If you don't want to buy it (even though it really is worth buying), the free version can be used as well.

 

[CMLew]

Bitdefender IS 2016 is more than enough to cover a typical home-user.

Better take some time to learn how Bitdefender IS works and learn to tweak some settings to make it even better. Rather than adding more and more software and hog up your resources and performance.

No need to choose, MBAM Pro holds to detect minimal threats that are based on latest attacks; compare to Bitdefender as a full built AV that can detect wide variety of threats.
