I'm glad to here from you Florence. You have such an important place here. We all miss you. At least now you know what is wrong with your hip and have a prognosis. You will be up and about by spring though I know it will take sometime for you to be 100%. And the same for your daughter, it will take time. In my opinion her husband didn't leave soon enough. I'm hoping that with your help she may find the same comfort and inspiration in growing things that I have found in difficult times. I believe that as important as a love is he does not complete your life. You find that completeness in yourself and then share it with someone who is worthy. My very best wishes to you and all your family.

Doing a basic Google search using the keywords "malwarebytes quick scan" (sans quotes) these are two quotes of MWB's forum moderators in 2009, "The quick scan will find any malware that's active on the system that MBAM is capable of detecting. The only real usefulness of the full scan is detecting the occasional trace that get's missed by the quick scan, and even that's pretty rare. According to one of the developers the quick scan catches 99.9% of the malware that MBAM will detect. "All it does is scan more locations on the hard drive(s), thus allowing it to pick up traces it might have otherwise missed, but again, even that's rare because the quick scan is designed to look in all the places malware likes to hide."

just to clarify you do have the computer turned on at that time period daily correct? it will not scan when off or when in sleep mode. It will perform the scan at the next scheduled time. You did not tell us if you are running windows 7 but this is how to find the sleep mode option It can be found by launching "taskschd.msc" from the start menu. You then expand "Task Scheduler Library" to find "Microsoft". From there you will see "Microsoft Antimalware" and then "MP Scheduled Scan". Under the properties select the "Conditions" tab. Under the "Power" section check: "Stop if the computer switches to battery power." and "Wake the computer to run this task" If you are using xp go into the control panel and open up the Task Scheduler. Then select "Advanced" from the pull down menu and then select "View Hidden Tasks". you should see a task named "MP Scheduled Scan". If you select the properties you will see a settings tab. In the settings tab you will see a power management box. You should check: "wake the computer to run the task" and "stop this task if battery mode begins"

Restart the computer gets it running ?? fwiw; I had that problem happening frequently. On my win8.1 - it was a recent new version 7 of EaseUs Todo back up program was the cause. I finally uninstalled easeus. Havent had windows defender freeze since. Which is what MSE is called on win8 . Experiment with pausing ease us ? or if you don't have that, program, maybe try uninstalling MSE and after a restart, re-install it. MSE has a timer on it,, if it stops, its supposed to try to restart in 60 seconds, maybe after 3 tries it gives up until you restart the computer.
