Hi

When scanning with MBAM what is the best scanning options to use?
Complete or Quick scan?
Is it better to scan in Window's Safe Mode or is there no need? can I just scan from a normal full Windows session? What difference does it make between the two with regards MBAM's detection rates?
Are there any other tips or things that can be done to assure best scan results?

Quick scan in normal mode, that is the best for detection rates.

For best scan results, clean out temporary folders.

Hi Marcin

Many thanks for that.

Reason I ask is because I have seen some people suggest running the scans from Windows Safe Mode. (Note these people are not malware specialists just home enthusiasts trying there best to help out.)
I understand the reasoning behind this strategy (it was the norm in times gone by) but just wondered if it made a difference with MBAM.

Keep up the good work
