I've been running the free version of malewarebytes on my computer (iMac Apple M1 Sequoia 15.0, I also have an older iPhone and a rather new iPad).  I'm considering getting a VPN. 

 

I was wondering if Surfshark is good?

 

Will its anti-malware program clash with Malwarebytes?

 

Thank you

Surfshark's antivirus software is separate from its VPN.

 

I have run the VPN with Malwarebytes free with no problem.

 

I have not used Surfshark's antivirus.

Until someone weighs in here at BC, you might consider asking your question at the MB forum?

The free version of Malwarebytes will not conflict with much of anything.
