Hi Yvonne,
Sure, Chris is right there -- the free version refuses to be scheduled. But
what I find is that you schedule it using the Scheduled Tasks applet.
However, you do not schedule the MalwareBytes executable directly because it
will refuse to be scheduled. Instead, you should use a batch file like:
@ECHO OFF
CD %PROGRAMFILES%\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\
mbam.exe /scan -full
You can save this batch script somewhere and then go to Scheduled Tasks.
When the Wizard requires you to provide the name of the program to be run,
simply browse to where you saved the batch script and add it. The rest is
simple: provide the time to be run and when the time comes, your scheduler
will run this batch script which will in turn fire off your Malware
antivirus.
Obviously, since this is a quick response, you may need to fine tune this
script to provide for eventualities like errors, but I believe you can even
pass the logging option to Malware such as /log then the name of the file to
be logged all errors.
If you need any help, you are free to seek clarification offline especially
other command line options for Malware.
Hope this helps,
Ishe

You can add it on a scheduled task list from the control panel.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] malware
hello
i have had malwarebytes downloaded and installed.
it works very well indeed but i wonder is it possible to configure
malwarebytes to do a scheduled scan?
i know this is possible using m s e because i have this set to 2 in the
morning.
but i can find no way to set up a scheduled request for malwarebytes to
automatically scan at a set time
so i am wondering if this is able to be done or is it just manually done
each time i want to use it
thank you
Yvonne
