    Is it ok to add Malwarebytes to Win10 Home?


    I have a new Win10 Home 10.0.18363 build 19363
    I have a router so I have windows firewall turned off

    I would like to add Malwarebytes in addition to the Windows Defender.

    Are there any complications or considerations I need to be aware of?

    Yes Malwarebytes is supported on Windows 10, but you should check the system requirements
    here as well as the prerequisites listed here

    *Both links take to support articles on the Malwarebytes website.

    Are you planning to use the free or paid version?
    Have you upgraded to Windows 2004 yet?

    Porthos,

    I use the paid version of MWB.

    I don't understand your reference to Windows 2004?

    You may have an issue with the May 2020 Windows feature update known as 2004. NOT ALL systems do.
