  1. I searched for the answer to this but could not find much. If I missed it, please point me to the right area. Running Windows 7 machine with 2 password protected User logon IDs. Under User A userid, I installed and set MBAM Pro up the following way: [settings/Scheduler Settings/Perform scheduled scan from system account] is checked. Three tasks were set up: Update task: Daily, Flash scan after update. Quick scan: Daily Full scan: Weekly I then initiated a full scan. While the full scan is running, I note that I cannot access parts of the MBAM UI - this is understandable, as it is busy. I mention this, as when I log into User B, I _can_ access all of MBAm's UI, leading me to believe MBAM works independently, and even concurrently from one user ID to the next. This points me down the path to believing I need separate scan tasks per user, but please read on.. After I set the above tasks up and initiated the full scan, I switched users and logged in to User B. In the MBAM UI under Settings/Scheduler Settings, I see the three tasks listed that I had set up under User A. My question is, do I need to schedule a separate daily Quick* Scan for user B? My assumption is (correct me if I'm wrong) the quick scan I originally set up while logged in under User A's ID only scans system files plus User A's documents folder (or other user specific folders) and not User B's folders, regardless whether one, both or neither user(s) are logged in. Hmm....maybe Quick scan does not scan user owned folders - perhaps it's left up to Full scan? *I am also assuming a Full Scan scans everything on the computer, regardless whether one, both or neither user(s) are logged in. In other words, my assumption is all folders and files are scanned on a Full scan, no matter who owns what. For example, Users\UserA\Documents and Users\UserB\Documents are both scanned. Thus, no need for me to worry about having to schedule a separate weekly Full scan to cover User B's owned folders under User B's login. I am hoping to hear "One Update/Scan set like you have is all you need." :-) Thanks for your help.
