olds442 Posted March 14, 2009 ID:64503 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Recently a quick scan is taking well over an hour when it used to take five minutes, I reinstalled and there was no change. Has anyone else had this problem? I think it is related to version 1.34 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

olds442 Posted March 15, 2009 Author ID:64712 Share Posted March 15, 2009 What is the system CPU type and speed plus how much RAM does the system have? What is the anti virus application you are running?pentium 4 3,4 ghz 3gb ram avast, I just did a scan in safe mode and it was less than 6 minutes so what does that tell me? never had any conflict with avast before; as it is, I can't use MB because the scan takes too long!

olds442 Posted March 16, 2009 Author ID:64752 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I discovered that the problem is Spyware Doctor, when I disabled SD, MBAM completed the quick scan in the usual time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile360 Posted March 16, 2009 ID:64754 Share Posted March 16, 2009 That makes sense, Spyware Doctor is pretty CPU intensive, especially when it's monitoring other processes (like MBAM's scanning engine). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
