Premium 200.0.1000


Recommended Posts

Hi 

I have just installed Premium 200.0.1000.    By default the 'Scan for Rootkits' (under the 'Detection and Protection) is not ticked.   

I would have thought that this would be a useful part of a scan so is there a good reason why it is not included in the recommended settings?

 

Thanks

Hello and :welcome:

I am not on staff so this may be changed by one of the Malwarebytes staff...

I believe they did not enable that by default, due to it not being completely compatible with some folks that run encryption on their computers so having it enabled by default would have cause many issues.

Thanks Firefox and ky331 for the suggestions.  I too wondered it it might be a scan time reason but having used the Beta version of Malwarebytes RootKit scan, I was surprised at how quick it was.  

On the subject  of scan times, there does not seem to be an coice of 'quick scan or full scan' in the  Premium 200.0.1000 package.

Those options are still available, they just changed the names....

The new scan names are a bit confusing to those of us used to the naming scheme in MBAM 1.75, but this should help.

Threat scan ==> quick scan

Custom scan ==> partial or Full scan - depending upon what you choose to scan.

Hyper scan ==> Flash scan (only available for registered PRO users).

Thanks Firefox but I cannot find any options for type of scan.  

If I click on the large 'Scan' button a scan starts and it appears to be a Threat scan (it only lasts for about 20 minutes - much less than I would expect a full scan to last).  

Also I cannot see any way of seeing which drives are being scanned.
