Trend Micro and MalwareBytes

[jayal]

using Trend Micro, seems okay, but this morning doing an unasked for scan it wanted MalwareBytes removed. I've used MB for years and apparently it is very popular and affective. Can I reinstall MB without TM interferring?

Malwarebytes will be running in the background , I guess

You dont want 2x malware/av programs actively running at the same time
What happens is, when an infection is detected , they will fight/block each other & wont be able to clean

Go into Malwarebytes options & set it so its not allways on/running
