How often should I run a scan with Malwarebytes?
We recommend running a scan with Malwarebytes at least once a week, or more frequently if your device is prone to accessing unfamiliar websites or downloading files from unknown sources. Regular scanning helps ensure real-time protection against malware and other online threats. However, the scanning frequency may vary based on your personal usage patterns and internet activities. If you frequently engage in online transactions, visit various websites, or download files frequently, it is advisable to increase the scanning frequency accordingly. Additionally, it is essential to schedule a scan immediately after installing Malwarebytes to eliminate any existing threats and establish a baseline for subsequent scans. By maintaining a regular scan routine, you can enhance the security of your device and safeguard your sensitive data effectively.
