MBAM Scan Time Cut in Half
I used to wonder why my MBAM scans would increase by 5 or 10 minutes (worst time was 25 minutes) over a certain period of time. Well, I think I figured it out. I recently turned off system restore to clear my restore points (I do this from time to time just in case malware is hiding out there), and I just noticed that MBAM does a full scan in under 11 minutes. I guess it was bogged down scanning all those restore points. System restore is now back on, and scan times are around 12 minutes on average, which suits me fine.

RE: MBAM SCAN TIME CUT IN HALF
I use Tune up utillities to clear old restore points and it does a good job.

RE: MBAM SCAN TIME CUT IN HALF
Better yet, Windows can clean up the restore points for you, or use CCleaner. No need for extra software.

RE: MBAM SCAN TIME CUT IN HALF
Does it matter how fast the scan goes?

Quote:Does it matter how fast the scan goes? I suppose not, but I like quick results form my on-demand scanners. That is why I use HitMan Pro more than any tool I have at my disposal. I still like for MBAM to at least be under 20 minutes for a full scan. How the heck did you guys get those quick scan numbers of under 40 seconds??? I ended up with a 3 minute and 4 second quick scan with MBAM. I guess that rivals HitMan Pro, at least on my machine. My weak wireless service handicaps HitMan (cloud) though.
