Solved MalwareBytes 2.0.1 taking forever to scan

[ThrashZone]

Does anyone know for sure how long 1.75 will continue to be supported (receive updates)?

This was replied here,

An MBAM Staff person says probably a year or less for V1 support:

Well the beta version did a custom scan very quickly. It was over 4 hours with the current regular version 2.00.1.1004.

MBAM v2.0.2.1007

Hi,

Downloaded v2.0.2.1007 a couple of days ago. Ran clean up tool - rebooted then installed the latest version and ran it today changing nothing from the default settings.

I have similar problems - the same as in the previous version.

This time the scan didn't complete. BSOD 10 minutes into the (very slow) scan. Same error message (screenshot shown)



Will remove this version and reinstall v1.75 until a stable release is available.

Have been forced to seek an alternative and so far EEK looks good and works perfectly.

 

[Britton30]

I didn't use the clean up tool but installed v2.0.2.1004 over 1.75 the installed v2.0.2.1007 over that.

You might have a RAM issue.

RAM issue

I didn't use the clean up tool but installed v2.0.2.1004 over 1.75 the installed v2.0.2.1007 over that.

You might have a RAM issue.

Bug Check 0x50: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (Windows Debuggers)

Thanks for the info. I had the same issue once before when using Avast but after switching to another AV - there were no more BSOD's. It seems to be the same with MBAM. It's only the latest beta releases that cause problems!

Those of you who have an extremely long scan time .... do you clean out all temps before running the scan? See if it helps to speed things up.


If you've never used TFC by OldTimer, download it (this is a great tool to keep) TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer - Geeks to Go Forum and save it to your desktop.
Save any unsaved work. TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!
Double-click on TFC.exe to run it. If you are using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.
Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.

Mbam bsod

Okay so here's some more info related to my earlier post:

http://www.sevenforums.com/system-s...-2-0-1-taking-forever-scan-9.html#post2756594

Minidump says that elrawdsk.sys driver is the cause. I've uninstalled the driver and will reinstall MBAM and give it another try!

 

[jonnyhillow]

I have version 1004 of the new Mbam and I went to the Mbam website and the page that shows doesn't tell you what the latest updated version is .

I have also noticed on a few help sites that after you download what you think is the latest version it's not .

If you want the BETA version you have to download it from here:
https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=147144

If you want the latest (or an older) Released version you can download them from here:
Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0.1 - FileHippo.com

The version number is in the filename of the file being downloaded.

 

[Britton30]

Also here tells you the version.
Malwarebytes | Internet Security Product Downloads

It don't make any sense.
Started both computers today any one lost the ability to open Malwarebytes 2.0.1.1004 and I got a BSOD.

Remove 2.0 and reinstalled 4 times and still not able to open it but no BSOD.

When trying to install I kept getting Runtime error (at 57:177):
External exception E06D 7363. '

Completed 3 different Restore Points and it didn't help.
Sfc /scannow didn't help.

After updating everything and rebooting several times I ran a scan with MSE and Eset and found no problems.

Tried to download and install Malwarebytes 2.0 again in Safe Mode; same problem but no more BSOD. I think it has something to do with DEVOBJ.DLL

Installed Malwarebytes 1.60.0.1800 PRO with no problems and updated and ran a complete scan, clean.
Updated the version 1.75 with no problems and ran scans again, no problems, no BSOD.

The crazy thing is the other computer has Malwarebytes 2.0.1.1004 and is not having any problems at this time.

I have spent hours and hours try different things and I don't know the answer to the New version problems on only one computer.

I sure hope this isn't going to another McAfee where every update or start up is going to be a bunch of mystery problems.

Driver details:
Driver Reference Table - ElRawDsk.sys

I'd be a bit wary of uninstalling a driver that is identified by BlueScreenView. Clearly the problem appears to the Malwarebytes installation, so I would avoid that on your system for now.

 

[Britton30]

Jack did you run their uninstall tool? https://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/entries/25291497-How-do-I-uninstall-Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware-

Also, give the Beta version a try. My scan time with it was ~23 minute with everything enabled.

If you check in C:\Windows\Minidump and upload the latest .dmp file here, I'll have a look at it for you.

MBAM BSOD - again

Thanks! No worries re: uninstalling drivers. I always have a very recent system image backup available. I'll keep an eye on future MBAM releases but for now it's back to using the old version. After removing the driver and performing another scan with MBAM I got another BSOD so the issue wasn't solved!

Same for Layback, if you upload the .dmp file I'll have a look at it for you.

Yes, Blue Screen View doesn't give the whole story.

 

[Layback Bear]

Some times I use their tool and some times I used REVO. It didn't seem to matter. I don't believe you need to uninstall the older version to install the newer version. But I tried it both ways.
