Just a note. I have the same version, 3.7.3.2, on my android phone. It scans just fine. The phone is running Android 10.

Hi @mbam_mtbr
I am on version 3.7.3.2. My tablet says there are no updates available. Not sure why 3.7.5.1 is not being offered to me.
Here are my settings.

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".

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?

When I enter that query with web Protection turned OFF, I get the 1060 error. However, when I turn web protection back ON... I get the same 1060 error.
I tried quitting and restarting MB, made sure web protection was turned ON and still get the 1060 error.

Another update.
So I've been running with web protection off for over two weeks and the problem didn't manifest itself. Well, today it did. So, it looks like it isn't web protection after all. I had posted a thread on the Dell forum weeks ago thinking maybe it was a problem with my PC, but none of the suggestions made any difference.

I too can make the changes pretty quickly, but I don't do it often enough to remember what needs to be done. Guess I should keep a record of that somewhere to make it easier.
Still, it would be nice if MB could save this info so we don't have to do this.

I totally understand. The majority of users do not change any settings. Some of us do though.
I would have thought that a lot of people add or modify scheduled scans and add items to the allow list for other anti-virus products.

I'll hold out then for a fix. MB really needs to come up with a solution for this. I have no other software that causes you to lose all the settings when uninstalling and reinstalling. They could at least find a way to save the scheduled scan and allow list settings. I am really tired of having to re-enter those every time.
Bill
-
OK... thanks. I will hold on to this install and might use it if it takes a long time for the fix to be available.
Does uninstalling and re-installing still cause the loss of all settings?
Bill

I think I'll just leave it off at this point. I don't recall what component package (or version) was the last that actually didn't exhibit the problem.
Thanks,
Bill

An update.
I have now gone 2 weeks with web protection disabled and have had no freezing or buzzing. It again looks like it is the web protection that is causing the problem.
So... what do I do now. Do you want output from the support tool or something else?
Bill

I can verify the block is gone.
Thanks,

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?
Bill

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?
Bill
-
Oops... just realized I put this in the wrong forum. Go ahead and move it to the MBG forum for Chrome.
-
When I tried to download Veracrypt I got this block.

That's what I was thinking.
Thanks

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

Do you still have the NVIDIA audio driver disabled or did you re-enable it?
They are still disabled.

Thanks for the links. I think for now I'll just stay with what is current with web protection off and see what happens.
Bill
-
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.

I do keep ever
12 hours ago, Porthos said: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.
11 hours ago, exile360 said: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.

Latest version very slow scanning
in Malwarebytes for Android Support Forum

@mbam_mtbr
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.
