bobz Posted August 24, 2016 ID:1058190 Share Posted August 24, 2016 When I look in my Programs Files (x86) I see the Malwares Anti-Malware folder. Shouldn't that be in the Program Files since this is a 64-bit computer? As the following points out: "Program Files x86. Starting with Windows Vista, the 64-bit versions of Windows have two Program Files folders. The regular Program Files folder holds 64-bit applications, while "Program Files (x86)" is used for 32-bit applications." (My MB just reads: Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Home (Free) 2.2.1.1043. I thought there might be a 64-bit mentioned in that title.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short answer: No. Longer answer: The program installer is the same for 32-bit and 64-bit computers. Certain MBAM components are 32-bit and others are 64-bit, even when the program is installed on a 64-bit system. The program knows what to put where. So, I suggest NOT trying to change anything around. Doing so will likely break the program, necessitating a reinstall. Bottom line: It's a good question, but please leave everything where it is. MBAM knows what to do. Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted August 25, 2016 Root Admin ID:1058270 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Our graphical interface is 32-bit but the driver used for detection and removal is 64-bit and is able to detect and remove malware from both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
