EditTips

  • This is recommended for 32-bit Systems, but there some 64-bit rootkits out there
  • This will also enable rootkit scanning in all scan options: Threat scan, Custom scan and Hyper scan rather than just being enabled in Custom scan

EditWarnings

  • If you have a Windows 8 system and you enable this feature, Malwarebytes could be prone to crashing a lot
