![]() If you have a Win 8.x or Win 10 OS then disabling the Windows Fast Startup power option (also known as hybrid boot-up / hybrid shutdown) will solve Problem # 1 for most users - see exile360's post # 14 in the thread Malwarebytes Free System Tray Icon Sometimes Just Does Not Appear. Norton Download Insight will also fail intermittently and "Safe" executable files will be assigned a reputation of "Unknown" if Malwarebytes' Web Protection module is enabled (see ). On occasion, my Norton Automatic LiveUpdates will not run to completion and will eventually time out and fail unless Malwarebytes Web Protection module is disabled at Settings | Protection | Realtime Protection | Web Protection | OFF. On occasion, the Malwarebytes icon does not load in the system tray at boot-up unless Malwarebytes' self-protection module is disabled at Settings | Protection | Startup Options | Enable Self-protection Module | OFF. I've noticed the following issues running Norton Security v22.x and Malwarebytes Premium v3.x together in realtime protection mode, even after adding mutual scan exclusions to both products. If you do have any trouble please let us know and we will gladly assist you, but I don't expect that you'll have any trouble between the two as it is a fairly common combination for many of our users/customers. Of course also be sure to exclude, if possible, Malwarebytes' processes/files from any HIPS and firewall components as well for the best results and to ensure that Malwarebytes is able to reach the web to download updates and use its cloud heuristics functionality. The list of items to exclude from Norton for Malwarebytes can be found in this support article and I would suggest excluding Norton's program folder(s) (likely located under C:\Program Files and/or C:\Program Files (x86)) along with any Norton/Symantec data folder(s) located under C:\ProgramData using the method described under the Exclude a File or Folder section of this support article. That said, you may be able to improve overall system performance and responsiveness a bit by creating exclusions in the two programs for one another. The two programs should work fine together as Malwarebytes has been developed to be as compatible as possible with other security programs in real-time, especially antivirus.
