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.
