I have run one scan per day since downloading it (about 6 days ago). I found that to be unusually short, but I'm not very familiar with Malwarebytes either. Question 1: The first time I ran a scan with Malwarebytes, it was a threat scan, and it took around 20+ minutes. Since it was wiped clean recently, that's to be expected. So, my point is that I don't have a ton of files on my computer, a ton of photos or a ton of programs. The only two non-default programs I use, that I know of besides Malwarebytes and Avast!, are Google Chrome and Skype. I try to practice good browsing habits, too. When I got it back from the technicians, and re-connected it (about 6 days ago), I uninstalled Microsoft Security Essentials and downloaded Avast! Free Antivirus 2015 and the latest free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. re-installed because of a suspected virus. Note: I recently had this computer wiped clean and the O.S. I've only used it once before on another computer (which I still have, but am not currently using).īefore I start, I'll give a few basics about my computer. The first is related to the scan-time for Malwarebytes. I ask that you answer them separately, as I have them written, because I don't want to accidentally mix any details I receive.
