Start up quicker on bootup

[max22]

I hate how Malwarebytes takes a few minutes to show up on my system tray on boot up. Is there anyway to have it load instantly like SuperAntiSpyware please ?

Hi, max22:

Until one of the experts arrives, to answer your question better than I ever could, please see FAQ - Section A - Item #17:

ISSUE: The Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware tray icon takes a long time to load on Windows Vista or Windows 7

SOLUTION: This is quite normal and happens because in Vista and 7, Microsoft allows services to startup with a delay. Doing this with the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware protection module helps to ensure that no conflicts occur during startup with your resident antivirus protection, allowing it to load before Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware does. If you wish to change this behavior, read on, though it is generally not recommended:

• Click on the Start button and type services.msc and press Enter
  
• Click Continue at the User Account Control prompt
  
• Once the Services window opens, scroll down the list until you find MBAMService and double click on it
  
• Click on the drop down menu next to Startup Type and select Automatic instead of Automatic (Delayed Start)
  
• Click the Apply button and click on Ok
  
• Close the Services control panel and restart your computer, the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware tray icon should load up much earlier after logging into Windows now
