Malwarebytes test

It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.
I don't trust his review anymore due to old samples used

old samples: 544 out of 607
that's like terrible in my eyes

let's say an old sample is a sample known to public for 24-48 hours.(aka shown up on Virustotal, or on other sites)
a good AV would have a signature on the sample in lets say 10 hours.
a bad AV doesn't have a signature in 24-48 hours, meaning that even if you were lucky to not meet the malware earlier, you are still unprotected, after 1-2 whole days.
in this case WD tops Malwarebytes easily.

From my point of view , Malwarebytes still good to be a second scanner ,
even just only using the free version , you still can scan your system by manual .
But indeed not to be a good idea as a main AV .

Do any of you use Malwarebytes along with kaspersky? I'm having problem with malwarebytes web protection module. It ain't blocking anything. & the recommendation of malwarebytes forum is to disable kaspersky's advanced disinfection module,rootkit scan & other stuffs such as pup,adware etc detection. That's a lot.
Do you people know any other way to work it out???

you don't need MB, at all.
do not disable Kaspersky's features to have MB's working, you're esentially replacing superior with inferior

Yeah. That's my point. But how come MB is recommending that.They can fix this incompatibility in their next release but they are not hinting at that in any way. & regarding having MB, I've their lifetime license. & some PUP may slip through kaspersky. In old days,opencandy was part of many freewares & kaspersky wouldn't bother to detect that as threat, for which I had to rely upon malwarebytes. But now opencandy is history. & kaspersky has also strengthened their module against may types of PUP, but MB is still considerably better than kaspersky when it comes to PUP or PUM. That's why I still have malwarebytes but their new versions are becoming progressively crappier than the previous versions.
Would you like to recommend any alternative to MB to work along with Kaspersky?
Thanks
windows smartscreen is good against PUPs, you can use Runbysmartscreen by andy_ful to run any program with smartscreen
zemana is a good alternative but it has a problem with memory leak
make sure you enable kaspersky's PUP protection
also you can install google chrome or firefox extensions such as malwarebytes, norton safe web so they can block PUP downloads before they can reach your PC
unchecky is another option but IMO, it's not good enough

You also may keep MB and add exclusions for services/executables to each other

I don't use smartscreen, sorry for that.I've configured kaspersky to detect adware or that sorta thing as threats. But to be honest kaspersky ain't upto the mark in this case. But they have improved throughout the time. I'm currently using malwarebytes extension, but it's extra load for me as I already have MB premium. It's like u've swords but u are relying upon pocket knife. & i won't touch norton again. Norton was my first preference of av & it jst had messed everything for me.
I'm thinking of giving a try to zemana. Is memory leak issue has been fixed?

That won't resolve web protection issue. MB is jst not blocking any website at all.You also may keep MB and add exclusions for services/executables to each other

Did You add correctly the exclusions in Kaspersky? probably You missed some MB services: How to use Malwarebytes 3 optimally with Kaspersky Total Security?

It's not jst exclusion, according to MB forum you have to disable some of kaspersky's protection modules.

Disabling some Kaspersky modules isn't acceptable, as already said... check the link I posted in my previous post, is from MB forum and for K2017, but probably also valid for K2018/K2019...

I'm using kaspersky internet security 18.0.0.405(h) with Malwarebytes 3.5.1. Trust me mate, no tweak is working. In January malwarebytes screwed themselves with malformed updates but somehow I escaped that. Thereafter this mess.
