All locations where a rootkit could be active are already checked in the Threat scan automatically when rootkit scanning is enabled, plus, the other elements of the Threat scan such as looking at all loading points on the registry as well as all loaded processes, services, drivers and modules (DLLs etc.) along with its heuristics and other detection tech that looks for malware in all of the places where it likes to install and hide will ensure that if a rootkit is present on the system that Malwarebytes is capable of detecting, that it will be caught by the Threat scan when you have rootkit scanning enabled. In fact, specifically with regards to rootkits, since they must use drivers and/or the boot files/boot partition of your Windows system drive to be able to hide themselves (which is what makes them rootkits, technically speaking), it's pretty much a waste of time and energy to perform a rootkit scan across an entire drive. Just to add, the rootkit scan, much like the Threat scan itself, was specifically engineered to look in all of the places where threats (in this case, particularly rootkits) would install on your system. #MALWAREBYTES SCAN FOR ROOTKITS WONT LET ME SELECT DRIVE HOW TO#Before submitting your reply, be sure to enable "Notify me of replies" like so:Ĭlick "Reveal Hidden Contents" below for details on how to attach a file: Please attach the file in your next reply.
