Re: AV and Malwarebytes together?

["McCrary, Barbara" <bmccrary () OSRHE EDU>]

We have ran both for a long time and they do play nice.  We use the corporate version. I find they do a good job. Often 
one getting what the other doesn't.  I especially like the enhanced online threat protection they both offer together.

It's not our recommendation, but, we have users who do exactly that.  I'm not sure if they suffer more, or fewer 
intrusions, but I do know that users who run both also suffer intrusions.
