MalwareBytes scan only one archive

[Rodrigo]

Hi people!

I have a zipped archive with 41 items.

When i go scan it, scan only one archive.

Why?

And always when I scan just one file, appears quick check. How to do a thorough check on file?

Hello and

I could be wrong, but I believe that Malwarebytes does not scan inside of zip files (archives)....

[Rodrigo]

Why not?

This doubt can be a great suggestion?

[Rodrigo]

How is that going?

Hi -

From what I can find out , if you cannot Right click to scan a Zip file then it must be opened first then scanned -

You may pick a problem out by doing a full scan of the drive , but I think it needs opening first - The Zip is to prevent access to the file -

This is like scanning the inside of a bank vault , first you must open the door - If in doubt then delete the file -

Thank You -

EDIT -

Do you know what is in the Zipped files ??

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware doesn't currently scan archives (zip, rar, ace etc) because it only looks for active infections. I do believe the developers have mentioned that they do plan to implement scanning within archives at some point in the future though, although I do not know when.
