Hi Nathan,

We are running a trial with Malwarebytes Enterprise Edition in conjunction
with our AV.  We see Malwarebytes as a complimentary solution to
traditional anti-virus. So far, we are very pleased with the results.



does it have reporting?

Subject: [SECURITY] AV and Malwarebytes together?

I no longer work in EDU, but I find these lists to be very helpful, so I
hope you don't mind if I pose a question...

Is anyone running Malwarebytes and AV software together on your PCs?

Or do you have an AV vendor that you think does a good enough job on their
own?

We've found Malwarebytes can catch a good amount of stuff our current AV
vendor isn't catching, so I'm considering running both.  Malwarebytes
claims to play nice with most AV vendors.

Thank you,
