As far as I can see, these methods do not provide a route to the scan scheduler, which is what I was looking for. I now see that I can click on the word Scanner, from the dashboard, rather than having to click on Scan, but it's not clear that that's an option, from the way the UI is designed. Being able to do it once you know how is all very well, but it's not intuitive. It's not at all intuitive that I'm looking for a setting but it's not in the Settings menu either.

Thanks for the offer of help. but I'm not comfortable uploading logs of a scan of the contents of my PC. I never really felt the need for daily scans and I cant actually remember Malwarebytes finding something that wasn't a false positive, so I'm fine with just doing manual scans, usually just of software I download, immediately after downloading it. I don't mind the time taken to do a scan when I initiated it myself. Being able to turn off automatic scans resolves it well enough, for me.

I can't know for certain, but I suspect it has to do with the fact that this PC has Windows 7, and most of the focus is on supporting Win 10 or later. I do own a PC with Win 10, and a second license, but 10 still irritates me so much that i rarely use it. I got it so I could use software that won't run on Win 7, but I rarely feel the need. That PC is currently turned off, and has the ethernet cable removed, after having Copilot forced on it without being asked, which I struggled to remove again.

If the new UI made sense, there would be no need to refer to the help section for such a basic feature. Bear in mind, I used MBAM for well over a decade. The UI should make perfect sense to me, and I should have no trouble finding things in it.

I see. Thanks for that. So, I have to press the button I expect to start a scan (which it does, immediately) to be able to get to the relevant Scanner settings, even though there's a three dots menu with Settings, right next to the Scan button. That makes no sense at all. As I said, it's unintuitive. In fact, that's just plain wrong. The old UI was much better and I didn't need to ask anyone how to use it. Someone should revisit this part of the UI. It's ridiculous.

@Porthos I had it set to prioritize system, yes. It didn't seem to help. Once it started scanning, it was difficult to make any use of my PC, which as a Core i7. Where is the setting for full vs threat scans? I can't even find the Scheduler tab you're showing, in this version. The new UI is unintuitive and quite poor, IMO.

Just to update this, I had previously tried the Properties->Compatibility settings, for MalwareBytes and other things that don't cope with 720p and 150% scaling, but I never found any settings that helped. That's still the case, so I gave up and bought a 1080p monitor. I also gave up leaving MalwareBytes running, because the scans were grinding my PC to a halt and I couldn't find a way to stop them happening automatically. Newer is not always better, but that's another topic.

More than two years later, I'm still being pestered by this intrusive pop-up far too often. Is there a way to disable this feature without turning off Scam Protection all together? I don't mean wait for it to happen then disable it for that particular site, I mean off, gone, stop doing it.

Thanks. It turns out that's the same as Scaling - mine shows 150%, but does have more options - I could increase it to 200%, which would no doubt cause problems with more software :) I'm used to 150% though, after using it for several years. " 5. To Select a DPI Size - a) Dot a size that you want for the Display DPI size. (See the screenshot above.) •Smaller - 100% = 96 DPI (Pixels/Dots Per Inch) •Medium - 125% = 120 DPI (Pixels/Dots Per Inch) •Larger - 150% = 144 DPI (Pixels/Dots Per Inch) " It's a shame they force us to log out, to apply the change. It makes it a lot less useful since Windows has no concept of picking up where it left off. It's only a little bit better than having to reboot.

Resolution 1360x768 - the native resolution of the display. DPI? I'm not aware of any DPI settings in Windows 7. I have Scaling set to the maximum, which is "Larger - 150%" Diagonal: approx 22".

I see I can also scroll the Dashboard vertically with the mouse pointer on the left side of the screen, but not near the middle. This is not how I expect software to behave in Windows so it seemed to me that it just didn't scroll at all.

I now see I can scroll the Dashboard vertically provided I move the mouse pointer to the right side of the screen first. Maybe I could have done that before? It's not intuitive so maybe I missed it. There's nothing to give me the clue that I'm supposed to do that. The right edge of the window is still missing / cropped, and there's no way to scroll horizontally, as far as I can tell, to get it into view. That does mean I can't get to those icons at top right. I'm not sure what else is missing.

I can maximise it by using Alt+Space+X. I then see the Restore and Close buttons, but it's as it is above. Clicking the Restore button makes it worse in that I can no longer see the maximise button or close button, but either way, it can't be made to show the entire contents of the windows, other than by turning off scaling in Windows, which isn't an acceptable solution as it makes almost everything else too difficult to use.

I did, and no, it wasn't usable again. It went back to how it is in my screenshots above.

Yes, it seems I can use it after setting scaling to 100%, which I find unusable for most purposes. However, I have to log out to make that change, so I can't change it back again with the MalwareBytes window open - I'm using Windows 7 on this PC. When I change it back, which involves logging out then back in, MalwareBytes still looks as it does in my screenshots, so is still not usable. I'm aware that there are compatibility settings (via right clicking on the taskbar and choosing Properties) but none of them seem to apply to this problem. There's an option to disable scaling for high DPI, but that does nothing on a display this size. The MalwareBytes window scaling is good enough, with scaling turned off, but I can't use my PC like that. Most things are too small for me to read without an onscreen magnifying glass.
