As of two days ago I now use AVG Free AV 8.0.1. It breaks the Spybot Search and Destroy and Spyware Blaster. Which I am mad to see happen. Would malwarebytes replace those?
Thanks

Hi, Celeste.
Please indulge me as I add a bit more information for the befit of other readers than you asked.
One thing readers need to keep in mind is that, unlike the previous version 7.4, AVG 8 (free & paid) is an anti-virus and anti-malware software. Running two resident anti-virus software programs is not recommended as they can cause serious conflicts.
With specific reference to AVG and SpywareBlaster & SBSD, see this FAQ: Infection detected in "ActiveX Compatibility" registry key. Then read this thread at Wilders: spyware blaster not compatable with AVG 8.0, most particularly post #16 by Javacool which explains why the AVG FAQ is wrong with regard to the immunize function of both SpywareBlaster and Spybot Search and Destroy.
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware software is not an anti-virus software. The subscription version has a "Protection Module" which (like WinPatrol) uses heuristics to block intrusions before they can happen.
If you decide to continue with AVG, I suggest you consider the MVPS Hosts file (an excellent addition anyway and recommended over SpywareBlaster for anyone using Windows Vista). See MVPS HOSTS file.
I hope this helps.
