Hi Maurice, and AdvancedSetup
Im still kind of buried in exam prep, so again sorry, i'm not trying to be rude.
I ran the script, and i've attached the log, how does it look?

Hi maurice
Sorry for the late response, i've been studying for an exam the last couple of days and kind of forgot about our conversation.
I haven't run the script yet, could you elaborate on why i need to run it? is there another way of verifying that windows defender is running?

Alright, the normal scan seemed to work out fine.
It did register about 14 elements, and when these are put into quarantine it closes my chrome tabs. So i'm guessing they are adware connected to chrome? Even though I delete them, they reappear after a reboot and a new scan.
On the other note, even though a rootkit scan isn't necessary, isn't it odd that my computer can't complete a rootkit scan. without going into the BIOS or the windows abort STOP screen? Which i'm not quite sure what means?
Again thanks alot for the help!

Ps. i've attached the log from my latest normal scan.

Hi again
Thanks for the update with instructions.
I've done everything, except the windows update.
When checking with windows update, it says that my system is up to date. But underneath it, it says that i will get a notification when windows 10 2004 is ready for my unit.
Other then that, everything seems fine. Should I try running the rootkit scan again? or do you have any other suggestions?

Hi guys, I have a few questions and need help fixing an issue with malwarebytes.
So I recently bought malwarebytes premium, and have got the 4.2.0 version installed on my computer.
The normal scan works fine, but the other day I wanted to do a deeper scan, and whent into advanced and enabled scanning for rootkits, this is where my issues started.
First of all, when running the scan for rootkits, my computer slowed down, to the point of not being usable at all. Second, the scan took forever compared to the normal quick scan. So I decided to leave it overnight. I've done this twice now, and both times when I get up in the morning and check the computer, it has somehow booted into the BIOS and was just sitting there. Or atleast what i think is the BIOS :-).
So my questions for you guys is; do you know what is going on with the whole BIOS thing? is malwarebytes crashing my computer?
And also do you think malwarebytes is too demanding for my laptop? It's an Asus UX305F running an intel core M. And it gets pretty slow whenever i tinker with malwarebytes, even just when opening and closing the menu.
Hope somebody knows what is going on, any help would be much appreciated.

Hi again
At this point, everything seems to be running fine, thank you very much for the help, and your patience.
As for the starting issue, being that I couldn't run a rootkit scan, should I try running one again? or should i just accept that my computer might not be able to handle running one, and that a normal quick scan is secure enough?
