I just got a notification of an update to Malwarebytes. I stupidly installed it, but it is a 14 day trial thing. Can I go back to my free one ? Please help me. Thank you. Or will it automatically go back to my free version after 14 days ? Cathy

Yes, what Marian said is the way it works. When you say "no" to purchasing the upgrade, it just goes back to the free version. They've been doing this for a few years now. You would know the update isn't free when they ask for your credit card!

I have to say I'm sick of Malwarebytes suddenly appearing on screen - even in the middle of my playing a game !! The "obligatory" trial for the Pro version was foisted on me about ten days ago, when I agreed to accept what I thought was going to be a normal update - and since then "Scan Results" have popped up at the most inconvenient of times, due to this trial version permanently running in the background. I will be SO glad when the two week trial comes to an end

Wow, that is sneaky. I have the paid for version and I've never gotten a popup ever except when there is a full version update.
What this indicates is that Malwarebytes is running in the background and in your Startup programs. You can fix this by making sure through your Task Manager that Malwarebytes is not in your Startup Programs.

I already checked my start-up programmes via task Manager and Winptrol, Draclvr, but Malwarebytes doesn't appear on either - unless it goes by some other name ??

Try the Processes tab... see if it's listed in there.

Ahhhh .... I found it there, thank you Draclvr, and "ended" it .... despite being warned I could get an unstable system by doing so !! So next time I boot up the machine ( providing it's not become unstable and does boot up ) I'll take a look to see if it's re-appeared.

It will probably reappear, but at least you can stop the darned popup while you're using your computer.
