Hi,
                     Normally when you download a file and want it be scanned, it should only be scanning that file. The malware bytes, if i right click and select menu it opens the whole scan screen.
                          i tried umpteen times of uninstalling and re installing, nothing cured. If i opt for avast, it scans single file. Do any of you experience this phenomenon. What is the best fix.
                                i have asked the forum, and they asked me to uninstall and reinstall and some reg fix, The reg.fix worked one time, but again when i selected a file then it opens the whole scan, like updating, prescan, scan files, heuristic etc etc.
Is there any fix. I am using latest free malware bytes .

Samson:
Does it actually do a full scan?

For me it opens what looks like the normal full scan page, but then just scans the individual file/ folder that I have selected from the the right click context menu.

Boggin:
If you just want a single file scanned, then MSRT will do that for you without wondering how much more is being scanned or without any registry tweaks.

Hi, But when i right click and scan individual files, it opens normal scan, having so much rings . updating..prescan, all scan etc. What would be the reason. I have tried all sorts of uninstalling and reinstalling, but solution evades me still

Same here .... I've been seeing this for some time now , on several different systems , but for me it's not a biggie

My work-around :- close the full-scan window , right-click again on the desired object and it does what is expected.

I freely admit that I have no idea what is different on the second launch :)

At first I thought it was a service failing to start but I could not find any service associated with MBAM , only with MBAE
