Brian F. Hacker Attack shows not working(red), but is it?..
I reinstalled my AVG Internet Security, but I still show 'Hacker Attack' not working. On component list it shows green(on) so is it false message? Am I protected even though it says I am not for 'hacker Attacks'? I am also using Malwarebytes, but this never caused any issue before-at least with 'hacker attack '..?
Does AVG alone give me full protection that I don't need Malwarebytes ?
Help?

Full version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware contains resident part which causes operating system to freeze with active AVG Resident Shield. This issue occurs when both components are running simultaneously. Please uninstall Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or disable its resident part if it is a paid version.
Regarding the Hackers Attack component, the issue is just with User Interface. Please open AVG Internet Security, go to Menu>> Settings>> troubleshooting then click on "Restore factory settings" and check if the issue is resolved. Please note that other program settings will also revert to default settings.
. I still want to know if AVG Internet Security will protect me from all viruses, malware and such, and that Malwarebytes has no protection I can't get with AVG..???
