You're proposing to uninstall Malwarebytes and reinstall
it every time you want to do a scan?!?! That would be a
colossal waste of my time, not to mention that when you
need it most you might not even be able to get on the
internet, or to their web site, or reinstall it even if
you can get there.

Who asked for your opinion?

You did, when you posted the misinformation. Sh_t happens; just correct it
and go on about your business. If I'm wrong, meaning you are right, that
there is "no reason to keep ... installed" then you should follow it up with
details of why. Why?

AHH,, PCBUTTS, the infamous poser, pretender, plagiarist and pirated
software expert. Ignore this one at all costs, even if he looks like he's
right.

If you want, try a google search for "the real truth mvp" and "pcbutts".
Lots of hits!

I have read a number of recomendations on this newsgroup for the
Malwarebytes anti malware tool..I use avast antivirus, and my question is
it it advisable to have both running in real time?


What the two partners are doesn't seem to matter.
But "both" is to be avoided. Pick one. Pick the
right one, of course.

I would ignore everything written by that nutter by the name of
Pig-Bear. He knows nothing about computers and all he says is to keep
installing all the anti-virus/anti-spyware software available on this
planet and keep scanning your system and hope that they will find
something!.

He is completely idiot and he needs his brain to be examined after
October 2010 when these newsgroups will shut down. Otherwise he won't
be welcomed on M$ Forums.
