Unable to perform a full scan...

[silas.p.9]

Hi. I'm using Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.50.1.1100 on Win Vista Home Premium. Usually, when I perform a full scan, the program scans over 400,000 files in about 2.5 hours. Now when I select full scan I'm getting a quick scan- about 100,000 files scanned in roughly two minutes. This peculiar behavior only started about a week ago.

Does anyone have an idea why I am no longer able to get a full scan?

Thanks.
