Shell extension scan in MBAM 2.0 question

[tomdkat]

I'm running MBAM 2.0 (free edition) on a Windows XP Home Edition (SP3) system.  With MBAM 1.75, when I would right-click on a folder and scan it with MBAM, it would start, scan some system stuff, then scan the folder and report its findings.  With version 2.0, when I right-click on a folder and scan it with MBAM, MBAM starts and doesn't start scanning immediately. I must use the "Custom scan" function to scan the folder in question.

Is this by design, with MBAM 2.0?

Thanks!

Are you sure its not scanning, perhaps its doing a prescan....

 

You may try a Clean install as mentioned HERE

Yes, I'm sure because I get taken to the dashboard, which is where I click "Custom Scan" to initiate the scan of the particular folder.

 

I'll try the clean install method and will report back here.

 

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay but I've been busy and haven't had time to uninstall and re-install.  The shell extension scan I just ran has finished so I'll try this now and will report my findings.

 

Thanks!

Ok, I used the mbam-clean utility to fully remove MBAM. I rebooted and reinstalled MBAM 2.00.0.1000.  The installation went flawlessly and I updated the database.  I enabled the "Explorer context menu" scan option and was able to scan the folder, as desired.

 

Problem solved.

 

Thanks!
