Malwarebytes help

[robertbiferi]

Wen I use Malwarebytes and it is doen it tells me a report was made and saved.

Everytime I run it it does the same thing does anyone knoe if it is keeping all the reports?

I don't want it to keep say every report can I get rid of them?

Open malwarebytes click on the logs tab and click on delete all. There is no need to keep them unless you want to know when you scanned.

In the Settings tab, uncheck the "Automatically save log file...." option.

That is not a good idea if he needs help removing an infection, unless he knows how to completely remove infections.

As far as I know it does not stop you saving the log file, you just have to tell it to. The warning dialog does not go away on its own and I'm fairly sure it logs any actions taken regardless. That checkbox (if its text is worded correctly) only covers the log at the end of the scan. I have a load of logs automatically saved but they are of no value because I know nothing was found in any of them.

The logs are quite small files so don't bother most users. I would be more concerned with progs like Spyware Terminator which has logs at 750kB a pop.
