Intel i3, 4GB RAM, Win7x64, MBAM Pro regularly updated These past few weeks I have noticed the laptop HDD light starts full-on activity at boot-up and doesn't stop for over 5 minutes. Although the logon has been completed nothing is ready to run for a long time. During this frantic HDD activity Task Manager usually eventually starts, if asked for, and shows mbamservice.exe *32 racking up CPU time as the first or second most active consumer of CPU time. The MBAM screen comes up and shows a scan getting ready but no files scanned for several minutes. Then after more time waiting for 'normal' programs to start files are scanned, up to 100,000+ that I have seen, until a 'No threats' panel is displayed. I cannot find any setting in MBAM to shut off boot-up scanning. What have I missed? Or, is the extrordinary wait due to something else? Thank you.
