1. You have indicated that the right click problem is a recognized problem and will be fixed. 2. Is the Custom Scan a recognized problem and will it be fixed? Thanks. Lloyd

Yes, I made a mistake. When the scan starts running, then it shows that it is scanning the items mentioned: Pre-Scan Operations, Filesystem objects, and Heuristic Analysis. What I do not see is that the Custom Scan is scanning the selected folder. It scans 199554 objects, takes 5 minutes, indicates that it has scanned zero folders and zero files.

I made mistake in my post. I uncheck the 3 on the left, and select the downloaded folder on the right to scan with MBAM v2. When the scan starts, it indicates that it is scanning the things I mentioned: Pre-Scan Operations, Filesystem objects, and Heuristic Analysis. What I do not see is the folder I selected to scan.

I normally download software updates to my updates folder on my E partition.

I do a custom scan, uncheck Pre-Scan Operations, Filesystem objects, and Heuristic Analysis, check the folder to scan. The scan takes 5 min 11 seconds. View detailed log, and it says Folders 0, Files 0. It does not look to me like it scanned the folder I selected.

How can I scan a folder or file with MBAM v2?

Do you recommend uninstalling MBAM v2 and reinstalling MBAM v1.75 until v2 is fixed? Will I be notified when v2 is fixed? Thanks.

1. I still have the same problem with MBAM v2 on my win8.1 laptop. When I right-click on a folder to scan with MBAM, the MBAM window pops up, but does not automatically scan the folder/file. And when I try the custom scan, uncheck everything and check the folder to be checked, it scans more than the folder/file, and I cannot tell for sure if it scans the folder. Also, after I ran Tweaking.com windows repair, I have the following problem with ie11: 2. I normally download software from internet explorer (vx). My home page is google https://www.google.com/. When I tried to signin to my google account, I received an error msg: "Oops, your browser seems to have cookies disabled. Make sure cookies are enabled, or try opening a new browser window." I went to internet options, turned on third party and session cookies, but still was not able in signin to google in internet explorer. I also tried adding https://www.google.com to trusted sites. I tried Firefox with the same google home page and logging on to google, and it worked. I have not figured out what tweaking.com windows repair did to prevent me logging in to google in ie11. Thanks.

Thanks very much for your help. I follow most of your advice. I do use Avast free and have returned to the original topic to try to get MBAM v2 working on my laptop. I used to use Secunia PSI, but they started doing the updates. I prefer to do them myself. I now use SUMo Lite installer which "does not contain any sponsors", to determine which of my installed software needs updates. I will start using Security Check. Thank you again for all your help and suggestions.

My laptop has been cleaned: see topic https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=145489. The trusted advisor Psychotic advised me: Please return to your topic at the Malwarebytes support. Tell your helper that you were here and finsihed the malware removal process so they may provide further advice. Thanks.

After I rebooted, I tried right-clicking to scan a folder with MBAM v2, and it is still not automatically starting a scan as v1.75.
