Will MB scan the document folders for all users?

Thank you for your reply. Are you saying that it detects and removes only specific stubborn viruses but not all malware (is MB a collection of one-off programs like the ones that Norton releases for specific wide spread viruses from time to time)? When I say "specific" I mean, for example, it removes virus X, Y, and Z that are known to be hard to remove but no others; if that is correct it would contradict statements I've seen about MBAM's have "advanced heuristics", wouldn't it? I guess I still don't really understand what MBAM is. Of the 7 types of malware that I know of (Viruses, Trojans, Backdoors, Worms, Spyware, Adware, Rootkits) which am I protected from with MalwareBytes? Regards, Jonathan.

Hello All. I think I've made a mistake. I've always thought that "Malware" was a general term for all intentionally offense computer programs. That is, I thought, that the term "malware" inculded: Trojans, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Backdoors, and Rootkits (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware). I have been using F-Prot as an anti virus program for a number of years however after some nasty infections that F-Prot neither detected nor was able to remove I tried AntiMalwareBytes. It not only removed the infection it also found a number of other spyware files. This fall when our F-Prot licenses ran out I decided to change to MalwareBytes thinking that it would do the job of F-Prot but better. I have removed F-Prot from 25 computers and installed MB. I have since read in these forums that, despite the implecation of the name, MalwareBytes is not an anti virus program. I am confused because many people talk about how MB removed various viruses for them. There is nothing in the sales litterature (that I can find) that says it is an anti-virus program nor anything that says it is not. What is AntiMalwareBytes? Do I need to run AV software as well? Are there any products that are not performance hogs that are both Av and anti spyware products? Jonathan.

After installing Malwarebytes on machine "A" that has, say, 10 users that log into it at different times using different accounts, how to I set the settings once (Protection, Scheduling, General Settings, Ignore List, etc...) for all 10 users?

How do I change the location of Malwarebytes log files?
