Hello. First off, thank you for providing this forum and any answers/suggestions I may receive. I'm a tech and remove virus/malware from PC's daily. Generally I remove the drive from the infected machine, slave it to my "virus removal machine" which is running XP, and scan with several different antiviral apps, malwarebytes being one of them. Every so often, the malwarebytes scan will run PAINFULLY slow. I know it's not the drive due to the other AV apps running normally. Question is, why do some drives scan so slowly with Malwarebytes? This probably occurs aprox one out of every 5 drives I have to scan. From my experience the OS on the drive doesn't matter; I've had similar results on all the major MS os's muchos gracias! JP
