? About anti-virus and malware program

[ Edited ]

‎04-10-2017 06:45 PM - edited ‎04-10-2017 06:45 PM

If I'm using Mcafee total protection can I also run malwarebytes also? Is there another malware program that would work better with the Mcafee program?  

I am using windows 10 on my pc. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, Malwarebytes is not an antivirus program.  You can run multiple anti-malware programs but not muliple antivirus programs.

Thank you for all the responses. Have run the free malwarebytes download and am hoping it takes care of a problem we had.
