http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/20818081-does-malwarebytes-replace-antivirus-softwareMalwarebytes Anti-Malware is not meant to be a replacement for antivirus software.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a complimentary but essential program which detects and removes zero-day malware and "Malware in the Wild". This includes malicious programs and files, such as viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, dialers, spyware, and rogue applications that many antivirus programs do not detect or cannot fully remove.
It is important to note that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware works well and should run alongside antivirus software without conflicts.
In some rare instances, exclusions may need to be set for your specific antivirus product to achieve the best possible system performance.
