Re: AV and Malwarebytes together?

[Chris Steele <chris.steele () ANGELO EDU>]

We also run Malwarebytes in combination with Forefront AV and they seem to complement each other well.  We are also 
currently testing Microsoft EMET as an additional layer, but have not rolled it out into full production.

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,
