Always scans drive I


Recommended Posts

Everytime I do a full scan and select only c drive it always scans c and I drive no matter what on multiple computers i have v 1.46 free. Ive noticed that even if the computer does not have an I drive it will still scan it but it scans the content of another drive which is not the I drive. Any suggestions? again this happens in multiple computers of mine so im assuming its some bug in Malwarebytes??? thanks!

I've got the same mysterious I drive being scanned also. I followed the instructions you've just posted but it's made no difference for me. It's still there. It only appeared after I performed an update 10 mins ago. Is it just a harmless bug? I'm not fussed if it is. I'm only bothered if it's going to cause me problems :)

I tried the instructions and it did not work for me. I have even tried installing malwarebytes on a comp that has never had it installed before. I have a couple screen shots if you wanted to see them? The reason why this does bother me is because I have a 2 TB HDD hooked up to each of my computers and even though i do not have an I drive it scans a drive and gives the I title during scanning. These drives happen to be my 2TB HDD's so it takes forever to do a full scan because of this. Thanks for the help (=

Please post the log from the scan so that I can see what it says.
