I just paid for 3 devices, but I cannot install on Windows 11 ARM. Given the Snapdragon X Elite is now shipping in Microsoft products, and I have had a Microsoft Volterra for over a year now, I hope Malwarebytes is making a priority of this.

Ah, thank you, that might be my next step. Many years ago I had a bad 'infection' and finally had to call Microsoft for help. The first thing they told me was to install Malwarebytes, and we finally did disinfect my system. That is why I am still running Malwarebytes today.

"so a full or custom scan shouldn't be necessary" - shouldn't, but I had a unique situation were I wanted to do a 'one time' exhaustive scan, not a daily exhaustive scan. I have Malwarebytes Premium 4.3.0 - is there a better version than that? I have a problem where after a day or so, my Windows O/S start chewing up CPU cycles, and the operating system is writing an insane amount of data to my SSD C: drive. I can think of no good reason for this persistent behavior. Before troubleshooting further, I want to rule out that there is not some sort of malware in the O/S causing this very weird behavior. So, one-time only, I want to run the most intensive malware hunt possible before exploring other problems. The current design of the UI makes this all very frustrating and unsatisfying.

Thanks, I finally found Advanced Scanners, but it was confusing to get there. Overall I find the UI confusing, and I used to teach a 3rd year University course in UI Design.

I am trying to configure a custom scan, but the Scanner dialog does not give me the option per the video instructions... How am I suppose to configure a custom scan?

It seems that Malwarebytes continuously finds exceptions with azareus.exe and blocks connections to 'malicious websites.' I cannot say if this is actually causing any performance problems, but it is annoying to see continuously see these warning pop-ups. I asked about this on the Vuse forums and the feeling was that was nothing dangerous to block. They also pointed out that Malwarebyes does not seem to have any mechanism to create an exception for a specific application and suggested I post in the Malwarebtyes forum for assistence. Does anyone have any experience with Malwarebytes and bit-torrent applications such as Vuse or FrostWire? Cheers, Eric
