    I uninstalled and reinstalled the app on my tablet.  It is faster than last night when I reported the problem, but still pretty slow.

    On my phone I scanned 405 apps and 2536 files in 41 seconds.

    On my tablet I scanned 314 apps and 16141 files in 9 minutes 30 seconds.

    The scan of the tablet used to take about 4 minutes.  It is the scanning of the apps that is taking so long not the scanning of the files.  It scans about 30 - 35 apps a minute.

  2. I have a question on this.  I have not changed any battery settings and MB scanned pretty quickly before and now it is very slow.  Doesn't this indicate  that it would be MB rather than the battery settings?

    In any case, on my tablet I am running Android 9.  The settings don't look anything like what you show.  Probably changed by Samsung.  In any case, I have adaptive battery turned off which is the setting  to "limit battery usage for apps that you don't use often".  Is that the right setting?  I also have Optimize Settings turned off.  This is to "Save battery by optimizing your settings when you're not using your tablet".

  3. I'm finding the latest version to be very slow in scanning.  I'm using it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 tablet.  With the previous release a full scan would take maybe 7 - 10 minutes.  With the new release, after 10 minutes it had only scanned 17 apps.  I am using the free version, not the paid for version.

    I've tried this several times and get the same result.  Any idea what the problem might be?

  4. I went ahead and went to the site and downloaded the file.  I did a scan with Norton 360 and another with Malwarebytes on the downloaded file and both show no threats.

    I have been using VeraCrypt (and TrueCrypt before it) for many years.  This is the site they use to download their program.  

    Why all of a sudden are you blocking them?

  5. I hadn't seen this as I currently have web protection off due to the temporary intermittent freezing problem I'm having.  It has been 8 days since I turned if off and haven't had a freeze.  

    What isn't needed?

  6. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I wasn't sure where to put it.

    I just did a Virus Total on the latest Crystal Disk Info program download and got this:

    Scanning with both Malwaebytes Premium and Norton 360 did not detect anything.

    Does anyone use Crystal Disk Info?  The fact that SecureAge APEX is the only one to flag it as malicious makes me think it is probably safe.  

    Anyone shed any light on this for me?

    Thanks

  7. Well... I guess it isn't really fixed.  I had one instance of freezing last night and another just now.  There was some buzzing sound, but it was not as strong and loud as before.

    So... I have turned web protection back off to see if that makes any difference.  It really is hard to quantify exactly what is causing the problem since it sometimes is many days before I have the problem again.

    My clients get a daily quick scan and only a weekly threat scan. Great results with out long CPU resource hogging scans. If those custom scans are scheduled the resource drain is less and the computer is not next to unusable during the scan because it runs at a lower CPU priority. As such it does take longer especially if you add rootkit scanning to the scan.

    Just to add there is an option to make MANUAL scans run at a lower priority.

    My daily scheduled threat scan only runs about 2 minutes and I run it while I'm sleeping so it doesn't cause me any problems.  My weekly scheduled threat scan runs a long time but it runs while I'm sleeping as well.  I rarely run manual scans.  When I do run a custom scan during the day it doesn't really interfere with what else I'm doing on the computer.

    There's certainly nothing wrong with running the occasional full/custom scan to double-check your files, however most threats should be detected/blocked before they get to your system if you are a Malwarebytes Premium user and keep your protection active and up to date.  Also keep in mind that a custom scan of a large drive/folder with many files can take a very long time to complete and will use a large amount of CPU/large number of threads which makes it faster on multi-core CPUs and CPUs with SMT/Hyperthreading, however scheduled scans run in the background and use reduced CPU levels and will generally take much longer to complete (this is done automatically to improve multitasking system performance during scheduled scans).

    I have a Intel® Core™ i7-8700 Processor with 6 cores and 64 GB of memory so I really don't see any problems running scans.
