    Is it harmful or not advisable to run these scans together at same time? I run them daily using M.S.E then M.W.B but one first and then the other. I just wondered if it would be harmful or inadvisable to run both together. Thanks for any advice. They never find any threats and I run each using a simple scan. Just wondered if I should or could run both together.

    It's not advisable to run the scans at the same time. It will use too many resources at once.
    Continue to run them one at a time, the way you have been.

    Thank you, Cindy. I was afraid it was not good to run scans at same time. I Will continue to run separately as I have been doing. Just wanted to have another opinion.
