Adding Initial Default Update And Scan Times To Scheduler.

[John Y.]

Hi guys,

I recommended Malwarebytes to a friend. He loves the program as it has helped him keep his system clean from malware. When the software to 1.45, he noticed that the program was not updating and scanning his system on a timely basis. Since he is not that computer savvy, he asked me for help.

It turned out he didn't have any update or scan schedules setup. Once i setup those schedules, Malwarebytes updated itself and scanned normally from that point on. My friend now knows how to setup new schedules now if needed.

After seeing this issue. I was thinking that default schedules should be added to the next version so that what happened to my friend or other new users doesn't happen again. That way, updating and scanning will occur regardless if the user sets up a schedule(s) or not.

Thanks for great software. Keep up the great work guys!!

I'm pretty sure this is making it into v1.47, but not 100% sure of it.

I agree, sounds like a good idea. Too many do not schedule them, or don't know how, or forget.

Good idea. At least update schedule should be included by default.

I can confirm that a default scheduled update will be added in 1.47 upon registration through the GUI .

That is so cool! You really listen to your users

just curious, will the new scheduler also allow you to edit your schedule items instead of having to delete them and then create a new one?

Real time would be my recommendation.
