would like more info about malwarebytes' anti-malware

ejames82 · 03-09-2008, 03:17 PM

this new security programme "malwarebytes" has made quite a debut. the more i hear about it, the stronger i feel about having it along with my other tools. is it strictly an on-demand scanner? does it update the same way asquared free does?, or does it need to be totally uninstalled and reinstalled like Dr Web cure-it does? does it have running processes that "help theirselves" to the startup list? are there settings in the GUI that allow for customization? for anybody who is using it, i would like to know how they use it.
any advice and info would be most appreciated.
