MBAM Premium free trial doesn't hold Scan for rootkits + SearchScopes
I'm servicing a Thinkpad T60 laptop that was originally an XP but has Win7 Pro on it now. It had major problems that I was able to take care of except for SearchScopes. AdwCleaner finds it but SearchScopes always comes back. MBAM has a setting to scan for rootkits but doesn't hold. When I shut down and start back up it doesn't take any longer and when I double-check MBAM's rootkit setting it's back to Off. So I don't think it's working. How do I get MBAM'S rootkit to work? I don't know whether or not SearchScopes could be a rootkit issue but I'd like to find out. Plus I hope to get the owner to purchase MBAM. The computer runs fine right now but I'd like to get rid of SearchScopes if possible. how can I do that?
I worked on a Win10 not too long ago that had SearchScopes but couldn't get rid of using a set of instructions on the Internet and had to do a fresh install. I cannot do a fresh install on this Win7 Pro OS computer.
