    I have a glitch where the virus scanning is stuck at a specific hour and stuck at a specific number of files scan. I suppose it might be because of the last two full scans I did. The first one closed with lag, the second one stopped working because of this same exact glitch. Did I break Windows Defender? Help?

    Virus Scan ONLY tool?

    I was using Malwarebytes to run scans on things I downloaded to make sure they're clean before I run them... but now Malwarebytes wants to run constantly and wants to do virus scans all the time, even though I told it not to (I'll scan a single file then it starts another threat scan on its own).

    Are there any good tools that do virus scanning only?

    Virus Scan ONLY tool?

    Are you using something beyond MBAM Free? Do you mean Malware/Virus when you say Virus? Seeing that Malwarebytes is primarily an anti-malware utility. I just want to make sure I'm making the right recommendations...though I'm not sure what doesn't scan for both anymore.

    You could always download ADW, JRT, RKILL, and use those in unison as manual scans or pick the one that you like the most. I use RKILL to kill known running processes, then run ADW and that takes care of a lot...I do still depend on MBAM and in fact I bought a lifetime premium license...so far it's been really good. I am considering turning off the live scan and going back to just the timed scans...but really it stays out of the way for the most part.

    MSE with live scanning disabled will do manual scanning. You could download the old Malwarebytes 1.75 and use that...I think they'll still allow updates to the definitions without forcing the update to 2.0. Don't quote me on that, but I have seen a few PC's come through the shop that still have 1.75 on them. I have an old 1.75 Free installer if you want to try.
