DaChew Posted July 17, 2008 ID:23075 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Does having someone boot into safe mode immediately after running a scan and fix with MBAM interfer with removal of malware files found by MBAM that require a reboot? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardhead Posted July 17, 2008 ID:23077 Share Posted July 17, 2008 There's no need to boot into safe mode as Mbam runs better in normal mode.http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.p...ost&p=13345 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosirrah Posted July 17, 2008 ID:23081 Share Posted July 17, 2008 MBAM should be rebooted into regular mode after a scan .There are registry fixes that cant be made while malware is live and requires a full reboot to make them .Once back on your desktop it is safe to reboot into safemode .We will be changing the load point of the on reboot fixes and these changes should allow rebooting into safemode without the loss of any reboot fixes .
