Avast vs Malwarebytes (Free versions)

[Cy-Fy]

So yeah guys I just wanted to know which one do you recommend me to download. Thanks very much

I use both (and ad aware), so i will suggest getting both. Avast is great but for some malware you need malwarebytes (found 2 which avast didn't find) [and ad aware for idk....ads?]

Malwarebytes erhday.

but see, whenever I get a notification from avast saying: "harmful file detected" or whatever, it never gives me the option to delete it or stop it etc. does it do that automatically?

I use malwarebytes. its been everything i want from a anti virus and nothing more

I use Malwarebytes, AVG, Microsoft security essentials and Adaware (also McAfee but we don't talk about that). I believe it deletes them automatically, or at least puts them into quarantine.

Personally, I'll keep both. What I use is a bit different personally. I use MSE for an anti-virus. Then Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner for Malware and Adware.

use both, and yes it gets rid of it automatically or at least quarantines it depending on the setting, by default I believe it deletes it (else I changed a bunch of crap again)

Both, Malwarebytes is better than anything I've used however.

1 last question, malwarebytes gives me 3 options when it finds potential threats: quarantine, add exclusion, ignore once. Which one should I choose?? because none of them sounds like it will delete them which I think is what I want.

Yes, Malwarebytes automatically takes care of anything it detects. It also notifies you for example when a program is using uncharacteristically more processing power or RAM than usual. I have a Northon Antivirus + Malwarebytes Pro 'security net' on my computer. This combo blocks pretty much everything.
