Golden Posted December 31, 2010 ID:367898 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi,I've seen this question raised in another forum, and wonder how MBAM scans the following:- the hidden factory recovery partition (in the case of laptops)- the System reserved (100MB partition)- the MBR (first 512 bytes on HDD) since you can only select scans by selecting a drive letter.Can anyone comment on this?Thanks,Golden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted January 5, 2011 Root Admin ID:369939 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm sorry but we do not provide in-depth detailed information about our scanner inner workings. It scans in all locations where we know Malware lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I wasn't trying to get details of the scanner workings, I just after some assurance that the hidden factory recovery partition on my wife's laptop is also scanned in the venet that I ever have to perform a restore to factory default settings.Regards,Golden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
