  1. Hola The exclusions were still in Avast from before...I never removed them. Yes, I followed the instructions as written (Running the clean, rebooting, etc..) except for the Avast WebShield..which shouldn't matter as we're talking about performance on the local machine not network. I have a HP DV6700 series laptop - one hard drive - 250GB/3GB RAM. Nothing exotic in particular. The only "anomalies" I can think of...I don't run from the PROGRAM FILES directory...I run from C:\System\Malware... never a problem...and frankly if it was in this case...poor coding.. / the option to install in another dir shouldn't be given. My hard drive is encrypted with Windows Bitlocker (In Win 7 Ultimate version)....can't imagine that is a problem..but who knows, stranger things have happened...ok..will monitor the forum for other feedback. Thanks for your assistance.
  2. as an aside..as for uTorrent / P2P....I only ever watch videos (95% AVI / MKV files) and the occasional MP4/MP3...so threat level is very low..in other words, not running executable files. Never have run an executable/batch file etc from P2P... as far as I can recall. Also turned off Spybot Teatimer but no difference. Well..prognosis not looking good for MBAM. Maybe I try SuperAntiSpyware.... thxs.
  3. Yes, I figured out I was using the free trial. What people don't realize is that there are "junior moments" too and they happen all the time, it's just that people don't want to admit it...so a senior moment is just a continuation! Ok..I followed the instructions...and same result. Did the clean, reinstalled, etc... Quick scan longer than full scan -- again. Any other thoughts on fixing this issue?
  4. Oh... have added the exclusion in Avast for MBAM...in FILE SYSTEM SHIELD and BEHAVIOR SHIELD, but NOT Web Shield..
  5. Hi Dale, Thanks for the reply. Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit. Service Pack 1 installed. MWB 1.51.0.1200 - downloaded from download.com - so should be free version. But, it has blocked numerous outgoing IPs from uTorrent - 9:08:33 circusoflife MESSAGE Protection started successfully 09:08:39 circusoflife MESSAGE IP Protection started successfully 09:34:38 circusoflife IP-BLOCK 98.142.251.242 (Type: outgoing, Port: 12880, Process: utorrent.exe) above blocked numerous more times --- edited out... 09:58:06 circusoflife IP-BLOCK 89.28.43.137 (Type: outgoing, Port: 12880, Process: utorrent.exe) Was using database version - 7010, just updated to 7011 Avast - 6.0.1125 - latest Comodo Firewall - 5.4.1899xxx - latest Don't have any infections that I am aware of. Nothing reported in Avast, MWB, or Spybot.
  6. FULL SCAN - does less objects, and is a lot faster!! Scan type: Full scan (C:\|) Objects scanned: 157895 Time elapsed: 52 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 0 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 0
  7. Scan type: Quick scan Objects scanned: 165445 Time elapsed: 4 minute(s), 2 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 0 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 0
  8. Hello, am new to MW Bytes. Relevant System Info - Win 7 Ultimate, Avast, Comodo Firewall, Spybot Teatimer, Peerblock Ran the quick scan and no problems found. MWB is blocking a few outgoing IPs...I use uTorrent. That's ok. Though I wonder why Peerblock doesn't have those IPs in its database. ??? Questions: 1) Isn't real-time protection only in the PRO version? Or is IP Blocking just standard in the free version? 2) When I run the full scan it only checks about 150,000 items and then stops after 1 minute. I've read people complaining about it taking too long, but shouldn't a FULL SCAN take longer and scan more objects? Just re-ran Quick scan now - takes longer than the full scan!! What gives? Thanks.
