Hi Porthos
In fact it took over 12hours to complete!
Issue here is that the scan settings are the same as we have always used, but the time it takes has hugely increased
Normally our basic routine is JRT, ADWcleaner, MBam, (although allegedly MBam now incorporates, their other utilities!), then if needed SuperMultiWotsit, and finally Panda Cloud Cleaner, quick check on browser extensions, Search engines etc and thats it.
This machine looked clean (and was), so just left it doing the scan, its not an urgent job, today upgrade to Windows 10 1903, remove the Windows junk, mail, groove etc, add Panda endpoint (in this case) and jobs done.
BUT the Malwebytes times are a problem where jobs are urgent, particularly as over many years of use we have found this to be the cleanup tool of choice, now we are looking around, and not just at the cleaning aspect.
We find their resale products also falling behind, especially in terms of customer ownership, and are increasingly placing business elsewhere, which is a shame as they have been the best at remediation for so long.
