Quick Scan is all you need, only

Kimsland, I take it from your reply that malwarebytes (the free version) does detect bots and rootkits when one does a quick scan?

"As per kimsland" - We know over 95% of these items can be detected and removed by Malwarebytes quick scan -

Please read the "pinned items" above this section (General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum) -

Also you could scan some of the self help items in the PC Help area - Note these are being re-written as we speak -

Thank you -

To clarify, while we do indeed detect and remove some viruses and worms, we are not an anti virus application.

Users must have anti virus software installed.

Indeed. And I have Norton as my realtime protection. I use the malwarebytes as an on demand scanner, running a quick scan 3-5 times a week

So are bots and rootkits considered malware or a virus/worm?
