As you can see flogit many people use many programs. 9999.9% tell you in all honesty why they do or do not like a product. You must trust the programs for yourself. I trust the programs I have mentioned. MSE, MAM and SAS.

Thanks all. Been looking at the malwarebytes site to purchase the pro version for £16.99p.Just a thought if I go ahead and make an order what do I get,Is it a user ID plus a register code or do then send me the software on a disc through the post?.Another item on the web page is a backup disc for £5.99p,What would that disc be for?.Does one really need that disc or just the malwarebytes pro software.
Does the price sound okay?

Many thanks for the advice that I have had from you people on here.

It's not a disk. If I remember correctly you register the free version and it unlocks the features of PRO. I didn't go for the backup.

That looks like a download and Pro Key. You don't need a CD as you can always download a new free version from Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware, anti-virus and spyware removal download and use your key to unlock it.

How is your Google-fu?

If you have some talent, you can probably find a discount code that might shave a few pounds off the price.

Yep. All you need is the key. It will unlock the magical features of the Free version.

I have been using MWBAM along with Avast! for a couple of years now and have been very pleased with the duo. I would recommend going for the pro version if you've got the spare change, because of the real-time protection. Otherwise, the free version is fine for routine scans.

Gee thanks for your concern,I did purchase the licence etc yesterday.I also use MSE.
The cost was £16.96p.
Many thanks.

Here is how I have my Scheduler setup.



This checks for updates every hour and if it finds an update then it runs a Flash Scan (very short scan of important areas) I have seen up to 9 updates in one day.



I then have it do a Quick Scan once a week.

Thanks those images were very helpful,I set mine up as images.Hope for the best now,If you have any further tips I would be very grateful for them.
Thanks.

It is worth doing a full scan at least once a month. Hopefully it will never pick up anything but you can never be sure.

Keep an eye on your Logs as they will grow a lot depending on your settings. MBAM has three types of logs.



The 1st line shows results for each Flash Scan.
The 2nd line shows results for each Quick Scan.
The 3rd line shows a daily log for the operations of MBAM, Protection status, Updates and Scans.

You need to check them from time to time and delete the old ones.

There is an option to clean them in CCleaner. I think you need the extensions pack.

kado897.Regarding you comment on the ccleaner '' I think you need the extensions pack.''.I do use the software but can you elaborate on '' I think you need the extensions pack.''
can you please explain more on that item.
Thanks.

 

[kado897]

It's called CCEnhancer and adds extra areas to clean. You can download it here. |MG| CCEnhancer 2.5.1 Download

I regularly check the scan logs to make sure no malware was found before deleting the logs.
Does anyone know for sure if any malware found will always be displayed in the Quarantine tab?
If I knew I could just look there, I could ignore the logs.
I don't know of a way to get notified if malware is detected, without manually looking...

 

[kado897]

I'm not sure what happens if you check this.



I leave it unchecked. I think there is a popup if it finds anything but I can't confirm that.

 

[DavidE]

OK, thanks.

I have that checked - thinking i want anything found quarantined ASAP.
I've never had any malware found, so I'm just not sure how it really works.

 

[kado897]

Me neither (fingers crossed). The only thing I get is the occasional balloon popup from the real time scan blocking an IP address.

I don't have CCEnhancer and I have the option to clean Malwarebytes logs under applications/utilities.

I only have entries in line 2 from your example. I run the free edition.
