Malwarebytes - how to exclude some extensions from scanning?

Boggin:
I've had a look through the Settings in my free version of MBAM and I don't think that is an option.

It's rare that I run a scan with MBAM as it usually takes about 40 mins to complete and the odd time I've have run it, I've went away and got on with something else - so have never seen what it scans, but if you are going to exclude some items then that could leave your machine vulnerable.

makinero:
Malwarebytes not very functional tool and small signature malware database!
But only a test and see that the tool for amateurs.

Boggin:
MBAM does do a robust antimalware scan and has had some positive results for some - it can also do a rootkit scan.

While I don't know the size of its database or where you have gotten that info from, it uses heuristics like any other scanner.

I prefer to rely on my Norton Security but if I want a more robust scan, I will use ESET Free Online Scanner - but this is getting away from your original request.

makinero:
I test a lot of different little popular applications. My computer is free from malware, but some "rare" applications(Created by self-taught) man may contain malicious code, but most often it is FALSE.
