Scan schedule changed - not by me!

[TempLost]

Scan schedule changed - not by me! It presume happened in one of the recent upgrades, but my Malwarebytes Premium 3.5.1.2522 Component Package 1.0.374 seems to have changed the Scan schedule time and type fromwhat I had set as 13:00:00 Hyperscan  to some other random time and Threat Scan. I noticed recently that all the RTP layers were switched on when I had previously switched off the Ransomware Protection because of the interference with some program updates. I'm pretty sure this has happened in the course of an update and not clean reinstall, which I haven't done for a bit. I presume that these settings ought to be preserved in the update process?

It looks like when you upgraded in May, your license was reset which reset your scan schedule. This was probably due to how MB3 upgraded and not something you did, so we can look into this. If possible, can you see if have any "Setup Log" files in %temp%? If you do, please zip them up and upload them.

Sorry, Devin, there don't seem to be any MB setup logs in that folder - I did clear some temp files the other day when doing some general housekeeping.

[dcollins]

Ahh, that most likely cleared them out. I'll do some digging to try and see if I can reproduce this, those settings should persist through upgrade.

OK, I'll keep a closer watch for any changes and try to submit mbst-grab-results.zip and setup logs if it should happen again. Apart from this glitch, Malwarebytes Premium seems to behaving itself if I keep Ransomware RTP disabled.
