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.

I also tried using the "Repair" function in the Malwarebytes Support Tool (which from a quick search, is SUPPOSED to be able to fix the issue), and while it reinstalled successfully and claimed that the repair was complete, my issue was not fixed! While I'm unsure of when this exactly happened, I don't recall seeing Windows Defender operating at all alongside Malwarebytes Premium before today, so it must have somehow just started happening today?

I have had the option to automatically do it toggled on since I got the Premium version and haven't touched it, yet somehow it's inexplicably broken and not working anymore? I tried toggling the option on and off, and while that temporarily fixed it for a moment once, the fix wasn't permanent and is no longer doing anything at all. Hi, so I just happened to go check my Windows security settings, only to realize that for WHATEVER reason, Malwarebytes Premium (which I just bought for the sole purpose of NOT using Windows Defender alongside Malwarebytes Free) is no longer being detected in the Windows Security Center.
