Latest version very slow scanning


Recommended Posts

I'm finding the latest version to be very slow in scanning.  I'm using it on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 tablet.  With the previous release a full scan would take maybe 7 - 10 minutes.  With the new release, after 10 minutes it had only scanned 17 apps.  I am using the free version, not the paid for version.

I've tried this several times and get the same result.  Any idea what the problem might be?

I have a question on this.  I have not changed any battery settings and MB scanned pretty quickly before and now it is very slow.  Doesn't this indicate  that it would be MB rather than the battery settings?

In any case, on my tablet I am running Android 9.  The settings don't look anything like what you show.  Probably changed by Samsung.  In any case, I have adaptive battery turned off which is the setting  to "limit battery usage for apps that you don't use often".  Is that the right setting?  I also have Optimize Settings turned off.  This is to "Save battery by optimizing your settings when you're not using your tablet".

Hi @Gt-truth,

How about this one, and you can pick Malwarebytes rather than Ninehttp://nine-faq.9folders.com/articles/16876-how-to-turn-off-battery-optimization-on-the-huawei-devices

Hi @BillH99999,

Do you know what version of Malwarebytes for Android you are on currently?  This will be under About.  Personally, I scanned with version 3.7.5.1 and it scanned pretty quickly.  Also, what settings do you have checked under Settings->Scanning?

We'll continue to look into this,

Nathan

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app on my tablet.  It is faster than last night when I reported the problem, but still pretty slow.

On my phone I scanned 405 apps and 2536 files in 41 seconds.

On my tablet I scanned 314 apps and 16141 files in 9 minutes 30 seconds.

The scan of the tablet used to take about 4 minutes.  It is the scanning of the apps that is taking so long not the scanning of the files.  It scans about 30 - 35 apps a minute.
