Restart Prompt after Remove Selected

[NVF]

I need to write specific instructions for version 2.2.1.1043 for a beginner and I'd like to be sure I understand the online manual correctly. (I haven't removed malware in a long time.) 

If objects are found, which are selected for removal by default, does the restart prompt come up after you click "Remove Selected" or do you need to click "Finish". 

Thanks.

Hi NVF

If my memory serves right, it'll come up after you click on "Remove Selected". If any items that is removed requires a reboot, Malwarebytes will let you know once it's done processing them in a pop-up box.

Thanks, Aura. That does appear to be what the manual says and seems seniscal so unless someone contradicts you I'll go with that.

No problem, you're welcome

Does Malwarebytes open after a restart and, if so, to what screen?

If memory serves Malwarebytes doesn't check some objects for removal. Why is that and I assume it's advised not to select them manually for removal?

Thanks

Malwarebytes doesn't open after a restart (when it deletes file on reboot).

Also, what are you referring? The fact that some items detected by Malwarebytes during a scan aren't checked automatically?

[NVF]

Okay, I thought it might open after a reboot to acknowledge the files were deleted. Kind of remember that it did.

Yes, I'm talking about objects detected by Malwarebytes after a scan but not checked for removal.

It could be because they are PUP/PUM items and the option to ignore them was enabled. I honestly have to infect a VM and test all that too to be sure.

[NVF]

I take it the default on all versions is to treat PUPs and PUMs as malware?

I don't recall. I think it is. Did you take a look at the user guide by the way?

It might answer some of your questions.

I haven't looked that close at the guide and I'm going a bit by memory because I upgraded to 3. I'll check the guide out more thoroughly. 

Thanks again.
