The only threat it *might* miss would be a dormant/inactive threat that is not actively running/installed on a secondary drive, however, if the threat were executed then Malwarebytes should detect it. This also means that if a threat were active from a non-standard location because Malwarebytes checks all threads and processes in memory, it should still be detected.

Malwarebytes is also designed to look in all the locations where malware is known to install itself/hide, so a full or custom scan shouldn't be necessary, especially on any sort of frequent basis (like daily), especially since the default Threat Scan/Quick Scan checks all loading points/startup locations, the registry, all running processes and threads in memory, along with all system folders, program folders, and data folders as well as any installed browsers, caches, and temp locations. Malwarebytes is not designed to function like normal AV scanners and uses a new kind of scan engine that relies mostly on heuristics detection techniques rather than traditional threat signatures. Malwarebytes will detect files like these on execution-only. It also does not target media files MP3, WMV, JPG, GIF, etc. It also does not target documents such as PDF, DOC, DOCx, XLS, XLSx, PPT, PPS, ODF, etc. That means MB will not target JS, HTML, VBS. Malwarebytes does not target script files during a scan. The reason many of us members are pushing Keeping Defender on is the following. Is it MB doing that, and if so, why? Is there any way I can get it to stay enabled?

If I enable it, it seems fine, but the next time I look after a reboot, it's tuned off again! The problem is that I cannot get the 'Periodic Scanning ' function in Windows Security to stay enabled. That sounded very good to me, as I have MB set to do a full scan once a week, but Windows Security doing occasional quick scans in between the main MB scans, which take a long time, sounded like a good idea. It also allows me to additionally select something called 'Periodic Scanning', which I assume means that although MB does most of the protection work, Windows Security (Defender as was) will occasionally still do a scan, but not do the real-time protection.

I have MB set to register in Windows Security, and the Windows Security UI displays it as the installed AV program. I'm running Malwarebytes Premium 4.2.0 on Wind64 bit, and I would like some clarification on its interaction with the standard Microsoft Windows Security system.
