Settings & Log Reports Disagree

MBAM Premium 2.2.0.1024

Windows 10 x64

 

I have "Scan for Rootkits" selected in Detection & Protection.  However, when checking several Scan Log entries, it tells me rootkit is disabled.

 

Any ideas why I'm seeing this?

Hi:

 

AFAIK, that's a longstanding, known issue on some systems due to be fixed with a future build.

 

Having said that, there are 2 places to enable ARK (anti-rootkit) scanning:

 

1) The "global" setting: Dashboard > Settings > Detection and Protection; AND

2) The specific, advanced setting for your scheduled scan task in the automated scheduler.

 

Please let us know if that doesn't explain the behavior you report.

 

Cheers,

Thank you!

 

I modified the scan settings to include rootkits.  Will post back tomorrow with results.

It appears modifying the scheduled scan settings to include rootkits did the trick.  Checking the scan log this morning it shows rootkits are enabled.

Great!

 

Thanks for letting us know.

 

Cheers,

 

P.S. AFAIK there are a few, known logging bugs that are due for a fix with an upcoming new version.
