laserjet Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16087 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I hope the full system scan gets an improvement on speed. way to slow. i just did first full scan and it took 21min. and 42 seconds. and I have bare bones on my pc. no Microsoft Office etc. plus it only scanned like 61,455 itemsmy AVG Anti-Spyware does like 237,00 items and it takes on the average only about 16 min maybe 17 min. I like the program but the scan speed for full system scan needs improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosirrah Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16095 Share Posted April 13, 2008 We designed quick scan to catch everything , full only has a slight chance of catching more traces but cant actually catch any more live malware .Quick will do memory , autostarts and all common malware locations .When I add new defs I never need to do a full scan to catch what i added , quick gets it all .

Dakeyras Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16114 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Updated this rig yesterday, nothing fancy just a quicker CPU and more RAM that the mobo can both support:A 3.06 Ghz HT and two 1 GB DDR PC3200 modules(Dakeyras likes computer fares for reasonably priced parts), plus I always carry out regular system maintenance. Even though by todays standards hardly cutting edge technology, the rig is performing very well .Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.11Database version: 619Scan type: Quick ScanObjects scanned: 27054Time elapsed: 1 minute(s), 24 second(s) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laserjet Posted April 13, 2008 Author ID:16115 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Darn I am a bit confused once I activated the real time protection my avg free went bonkers said I had another anti virus on my PC. I thought this was considered a anti-spyware. i had to unistall malwarebytes. please can someone clarify what this is originally found malwarebytes anti-malware at major geeks and its listed as a anti-spyware. yet AVG said otherwise thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin RubbeR DuckY Posted April 13, 2008 Root Admin ID:16128 Share Posted April 13, 2008 We will be working on speed again in the next few weeks and you will see drastic improvements like you did during the beta testing sessions. We are more interested in detection and removal at this point, but speed is in mind at all times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John L. Galt Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16138 Share Posted April 13, 2008 FWIW, when I had the P4 3.2(E) GHz machine with 3 GB RAM and Vista and Symantec Endpoint Security running, those were about the same speeds I was getting from about 1.06 and later.Keeping your HD defragmented *and* keeping your temp folders cleaned will go a *long* way to reducing the time it takes, as MBAM scans the temp folders....I noticed a 1.5 minute difference before when I ran MBAM one day without using CCleaner on my temp folder and then again another day after running CCleaner.

nosirrah Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16184 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I don't have MBAM protection on very often (I forget to turn in on). I use Norton for AV.The best way I have found to make a PC with Norton installed faster is to drop it out of an airplane . I am only sort of kidding though , all AVs will slow your PC down and Norton has a reputation of being one of the worst when it comes to that .Would be interesting so see this test :Turn off your internet and disable Norton .Quick scan with MBAM .Turn everything back on and reboot , scan again .I wonder how far apart the #s will be .

nosirrah Posted April 13, 2008 ID:16197 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Everyone should keep this in mind .When you scan with MBAM you are scanning with MBAM + every other active protection scanner you have at the same time .As MBAM checks a file that act triggers you AV to scan it as well .I used to see this all the with SAS and Antivir . Scan with SAS and Antivir would go off when a malware file was scanned by SAS . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
