I have Malwarebytes 4.1.0 installed on my Windows PC and when I do a full scan with it quite a few Malware objects are detected but when I try to quarantine I always get a message from Avira immediately afterwards that says "Registry blocked - For your security a suspicious attempt to access the registry has been blocked"  What can I do so that Avira won't block Malwarebytes from doing its job?  Thank you

  Hello Ramy,

  Well, if Malewarebytes accessing the Windows Registry every antivirus software needs to react as this could be also a suspicious behavior. So if you want to use Malewarebytes along with Avira you are in need to deactivate Avira for a scanning process of MWB.

  Maybe the guys of MWB can assist you in configuring their product as we aren't able to provide you further assistance in this topic.

  Best,

  How do I temporarily deactivate Avira AV? Is that when the umbrella icon collapses? \ Isn't there a way to add MWB to Avira's whitelist so I won't need to deactivate it?
