You should really update the Malwarebyte database version first before you scan but good basic guide on how to use the program.

The only problem with this program is that it lacks Heurictic analysis =( it can only detect by signature.

The pro edition i think the only googd that does is blocking ip's! Sometimes it wont let you go to a website like HF

I use and recommend this to clients, much better imo than the over hyped LAVASOFT ADAWARE , and SPYSWEEPER.

Used this program Yesterday, thought I was infected But it found like 50 suspicious files that I hadn't opened yet, and it runs way smoother then before though so a must recommend program.
