Yellostone Posted April 9, 2011 ID:413649 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Hi,As a shop we use this tool a lot and we have been thinking of changes that we could think of,we have come up with having a progress bar to see the progress of the scans,it just half of the time are scans sit there for a long time before they show what they are doing so having this will help users like us to see that it is doing something.ThanksYellowstone Computers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted April 9, 2011 Root Admin ID:413650 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Thank you for your suggestion and just a reminder that only home/consumer users are allowed to use the free product. Any business use must have proper licensing to use the product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellostone Posted April 11, 2011 Author ID:414300 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yep i know that, do you think this will be in a update for free users as i do use it at home not just at work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted April 12, 2011 Root Admin ID:414649 Share Posted April 12, 2011 The current consensus appears to be that any type of real time progress bar would actually increase scan times which most people do not want. In order to actually have a real time update progress bar you would need to read, update display, read, update display vs. read, read, read, read, etc update display, read, read read etc etc, update display as we currently do it.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted April 12, 2011 Root Admin ID:414725 Share Posted April 12, 2011 No the current progress bar method used is on the free and paid version and they operate the same. It does update but it's not a live progress as that would actually make the scan take much longer to complete.Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On average malwarebytes will take 3-5 hours some have taken longer. My anti virus 1-2 hours full system scan. doesn't seem to add up if you tell me.
