running Malwarebytes AND uBlock Origin

Post by stuck »

I discovered today that, within my on-line banking account (so not a to-good-to-true free offer in an unsolicited email), I can get a free activation code for Malwarebytes Premium. I already have the free version so it seems rude to to take advantage of this free upgrade.

The installer wants to add 'Malwarebytes Browser Guard' to my Firefox, which, amongst other things, blocks ads. However, I already have uBlock Origin in FF. Does anyone know if adding 'Browser Guard' will cause any conflicts?

I don't use Malwarebytes myself anymore, but according to Question about Malwarebytes Browser Guard and uBlock Origin? you can run both at the same time.
Best wishes,
Hans

Duh, sorry, didn't think to search the Malwarebytes forum :blush:

OK, I'll give it a whirl and see what happens.

Thanks,

So, a couple of months on and I'm glad I didn't pay money for Malwarebytes Premium. It's set to autostart with Windows but rarely does and when it is running it says I should install Malwarebytes Browser Guard, which I have installed and is happily coexisting in FF with uBlock Origin.
