MrMem Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 To start off, I'm aware that this is a TF2 trading website, but the Malwarebytes forums are ded (https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/153078-pre-scan-operations-taking-forever/). So I'm pretty much just throwing this out there in case any person that trades virtual hats for a free-to-play game can help with Malwarebytes. Pretty much what's happening with my Malwarebytes is that it never gets out of the Pre-scan Operations. I've once wasted two freakin hours patiently waiting for it to finish. It never got out of the Pre-scan Operations. I know this isn't the Malwarebytes forums, but I'm just putting this out here, and any help is greatly appreciated.

knavesmith Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 You should spend a little money on getting a more decent antivirus software like Norton 360 or Kaspersky. It may cost you a bit, but it won't cost you as much as it would to get your computer repaired from a nasty virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrocide Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Norton is shit. +1 Kaspersky, As for malwarebytes have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version from the site? Check firewall to make sure its connection to the update server isn't being blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
