Manually Scan with Malwarebytes 3

 

• Threat Scan- It scans all the places malware is known to hide, including Memory, Startup, Registry and FileSystem Objects. This is recommended as your daily scan
• Custom Scan- Allows you to scan where and what you want to scan. Modifications include choosing which Objects to scan (Memory, Startup and Registry). Enables you to customize the treatment of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) and Modifications (PUMs).
• Hyper Scan(Available with Malwarebytes Premium Only) - Quickly checks Memory and Startup Objects for active malware threats. If anything is found, we recommend running a Threat Scan afterward for more comprehensive detection.
