I am now using it on Windows 10 and up to now it seems to work perfectly. Simple to use but most importantly, highly effective. Return to the Malwarebytes for Windows guide.I started using this software years ago and can only say that it has become better over the years. For instructions, see Set up automatic scans in Malwarebytes for Windows. If you have Malwarebytes for Windows Premium installed you can schedule a Threat, Custom, or Quick Scan to run automatically. For information on Quarantine, see Restore or delete quarantined items in Malwarebytes for Windows. By default, any threats detected during a scan are quarantined. If a Quick Scan detects malware, we strongly recommend running a Threat Scan afterward in case there are more threats in other areas of your device. Startup objects: Executable files or modifications which initiate at computer startup.Memory objects: Memory allocated by operating system processes, drivers, and other apps.Only Malwarebytes Premium or Trial users can use this scan type. A Quick Scan is faster than a Threat Scan but less comprehensive. Quick Scans check for threats in your Memory and Startup objects, where threats commonly take place. You can un-check individual directories that you don't want scanned. You can check the box next to a directory, then all sub-folders will automatically check for scan as well. By default, no directory is checked in a Custom Scan. The right side of the Custom Scan screen also shows a list of directories, sub directories to scan. Use the drop-down menu to choose either Ignore detections, Warn user about detections, or Treat detections as malware. Potentially Unwanted Modifications (PUMs): This setting allows you to choose how Potentially Unwanted Modifications are treated if detected.Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs): This setting allows you to choose how Potentially Unwanted Programs are treated if detected.These files may influence system behavior. Scan for rootkits: Rootkits are files stored on your computer's local disk drives which are invisible to the operating system.Password protected archives cannot be tested. Scan within archives: If this box is checked, archive file types such as zip, 7z, rar, cab and msi are scanned up to two levels deep.Scan registry and startup items: Executable files or modifications which initiate at computer startup, as well as registry-based configurations that can alter your device's startup behavior. ![]() To be safe, memory objects should be scanned. Threats detected during scans are still considered threats even if they have an active component in memory. Scan memory objects: Memory allocated by operating system processes, drivers, and other apps.These settings allow you to determine the areas of your device you want Malwarebytes to scan. An example of the Configure Custom Scan page is shown below. To customize a scan, click the Scanner card, then click Advanced scanners, then click Configure Scan. To avoid long wait times, we recommend you use Threat Scans unless there is a specific location on your device you want to scan. Depending on what locations you specify to be scanned, these scans can take a long time to complete. With a Custom Scan, you can choose what and where you want Malwarebytes for Windows to scan on your system. ![]()
