Malwarebytes minimizes the active window when gaming....

[endorush]

I'm playing a game, and when Malwarebytes goes to run a sheduled scan, it minimizes the window I'm using for the game.

I'm playing a fullscreen game, and all of a sudden it gets minimized. I takes about 5-6 seconds to get the window up again. During this time, I just lost the game.

I have the option set for scheduled scans to "perform scheduled task silently from system account". it still doesn't work.

So I have to turn off Malwarebytes every time I play a game, otherwise I risk having my game's window randomly minimized which kills me and ruins my game.

Is there a way for MBAM to run scheduled scans without minimizing active windows?

Thanks

Hi -

Just a brief question - How often do you have scans scheduled for ??

Just to add, re-schedule your scans to happen at a time when you will not be playing the game.....

Thanks endorush for the detailed info, I'll pass this suggestion on to the developers, hopefully we can correct this problem .

@endorush: What game are you playing when this happens? I've tried to replicate this myself so that the developers can look into it but I've been unable to do so.
