Dublin70 Posted November 10, 2017 ID:1181115 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thought everything going good - until today. MB does not want to load - when it does after a reboot - comes up with message, "unable to load rootkit drivers-may be root kit activity." So reboot again - loads but now cannot access net thru Chrome or Opera. After another reboot, chrome comes up but everything seems to drag. Thoughts?? Also, yesterday I changed scan schedule and today it looks like it did before the change. Thanks for any help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telos Posted November 10, 2017 ID:1181144 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I would reinstall on top of your current setup with the latest version here:https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mb3/ Does that help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin70 Posted November 10, 2017 Author ID:1181254 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Just downloaded - I"ll let you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin70 Posted November 12, 2017 Author ID:1181762 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Mostly fine - Loads everything as in protection modules, comes up in the sys tray BUT - still says cannot load anti-rootkit driver AND it has put a "normal" scan - at start up every day. I did not schedule this. What's up with that? Thanks very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin70 Posted November 13, 2017 Author ID:1182208 Share Posted November 13, 2017 It has put a "normal" scan - at start up every day. I did not schedule this. What's up with that? Thanks very much. Can someone pls tell me how to disable this scan at startup. I don't want that. I have scheduled hyper scan to start after an hour of boot daily and threat weekly. But again this morning, it ran a threat scan when I booted. Not sure how to proceed except to cancel the scan. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollins Posted November 13, 2017 ID:1182286 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) @Dublin70 any scheduled scan should be located under Settings -> Scan Schedule. You can delete any extraneous scans there. If you want to keep the scan, but just don't want it to run on startup, open the advanced options for the scheduled scan and uncheck the "Recover missed tasks" box As for your rootkit issue, what other security products do you have on your machine? We've identified an issue with AVIRA that can cause this symptom Edited November 13, 2017 by dcollins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin70 Posted November 13, 2017 Author ID:1182354 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I've gone to the scan schedule and removed it and replaced it with weekly threat and daily hyper. Still comes up with daily "normal" which I guess is threat. Anyway, will go to advanced as you recommend. Funny - I do have Avira on pc but I have MB3 as an exclusion. Maybe that's just for the Avira scans but nothing else. Suggestions? Thanks for your input. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollins Posted November 13, 2017 ID:1182368 Share Posted November 13, 2017 For the Avira issue, you should be able to simply change a Malwarebytes setting. Go to Settings -> Application, and under Windows Action Center choose "Never register Malwarebytes in the Windows Action Center", then go ahead and reboot and see if the rootkit issue persists Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin70 Posted November 14, 2017 Author ID:1182635 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The root kit issue seems to be solved. The scan issue however persists. It runs a 22 minute scan every morning and I don't want that. I looked under advanced options for the scan schedule and that box was already unchecked. On the other hand, if it's a pain to get rid of the scan, can I perform other tasks while it's scanning? i.e., online? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollins Posted November 14, 2017 ID:1182705 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) @Dublin70 the checkbox doesn't mean the scan will run/won't run, it simply means that's the selected scan you need to edit. If the scan is in the Scan Schedule window, checkbox or not, it will run. If you don't want it, simply c lick the scan and choose delete Edited November 14, 2017 by dcollins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublin70 Posted November 14, 2017 Author ID:1182742 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi - I did that a few days ago - delete - and it just shows up anyway. Also, what about multi-tasking while it is running. Does it affect scan -- as in - slows it down a lot. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcollins Posted November 14, 2017 ID:1182878 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Scheduled scans run with lower priority than regular scans, so it shouldn't have a huge impact on performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
