There are technically a handful of settings you can tweak before scanning, but first-time users will find the default scan to be quite thorough.įinding individual settings can be a little tricky if you don’t know what you’re looking for, but an inexperienced user will have absolutely no problem running the default scan and eliminating any malware that’s present on their machine. The dashboard screen may be a little difficult to understand for some users, but there’s a big Scan Now button front and center when you launch the app.

Since MalwareBytes doesn’t have the ability to identify threats on networked devices other than drives, there is no network scan.

If you want to scan additional locations, the Custom Scan allows you to select additional hard drives, USB drives, and network drives. The default scan, which they call the Threat Scan, scans your main hard drive, memory, startup registry, and file system objects. The specific locations that Malwarebytes scans vary depending on the type of scan you run.
