Malwarebytes is set up to scan daily or once a week. What is yours scheduled for?

Check your reports. Dashboard, click on Reports. I go in and clean mine out.
I only scan on demand when I download a file and want to be sure it is clean; otherwise I let the weekly scan run.
Hmmm, just checked it on a couple of my systems and both are set to scan once every day, and if missed, it will scan "at next opportunity". I don't remember changing the defaults so if I did, (and that's quite possible) it was many years ago and the setting has just carried over with each new update.Looks like it is set for auto every week
I would enable it again. Since it was previously off, it probably was attempting to get fully updated and do an extensive initial deep scan. I think you should let it finish then I suspect performance will return to normal. If me, I would enable it, manually initiate a "Full scan", then just walk away for awhile if you want. As noted on the Scan options page, a Full scan can take more than an hour. After that, you can set it back to Quick scan and subsequent scans will only take a couple minutes, and should happen way in the background and not hog resources.After turning on Defender yesterday she slowed down to a snails pace so I turned it back off and now is
back running fine.
True but not sure how that would help detect malware, or verify a file is clean before executing or opening the file.
