There is only a Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. There never was a 2 or 3. Can you give us the exact wording of the notice you needed a service pack? Something is not adding up here...

Since there IS no SP3 for Windows 7, I'm not sure what it is they need! I just booted up my completely updated Windows 7 drive and it only has a SP1 also. I'm mystified.

I only have the "Free" version but, coincidentally, I received a message today to update the data base - which I did. After the update, I was told I am now on a two week free trial of the "Premium" version - which will revert to the lesser "Free" version if I don't choose to update to the "Premium" one at the end of the free trial. I will be sticking with the "Free" version but thought it worth mentioning on this thread  [I too have Win7.]

Yes, that's what Malwarebytes has been doing for some time now. At the end of the Premium trial, if you don't decide to pay for it, you will revert back to the Free Version.

Indeed! I do love the paid version though as it stops bad stuff in real time. I live 600 miles away from my mom who was 94 yesterday. She called me to tell me she had gotten this notice from Malwarebytes Pro that it quarantined something that tried to get on her computer. When I got up there a few months later, I found it was one of the ransomeware viruses. Without Malwarebytes Pro, her computer would have been ruined and me too far away to help her.

Kind of what I thought too, Jenny, Webroot Secure is great software, but Malwarebytes works a bit differently, deleterman!
