And that's a good thing, since antivirus background scanners are
notorious for causing performance problems. In fact, I make it a rule to
completely uninstall MalwareBytes after I am done using it, since
antivirus utilities are also notorious for introducing their own
security vulnerabilities on systems that would otherwise be more secure.
If I need it, I install it, run a scan, then uninstall it from the Help
menu.
