Over the past week, my computer has locked up three times--to the

Malwarebytes. I run the free version when I want to check for malware.
However, the last time I did an update, it installed a trial version
of the full program. (I don't remember being asked to confirm that I
wanted it.) What made me think of this program being the problem is
that today I got a message from the program that I had three more days
of the trial version.

Assuming that it is Malwarebytes causing the problem, what is the best
approach for dealing with it? Should I uninstall Malwarebytes and then
try to reinstall the free version? Wait for the trial version to end?
Something else?

Thank you,

Â*Â* The same thing happened to me There really is no trial version
anymore ---the so-called "trial" is now just an ad for the not-free
version.


Thank you for supporting what I said. I uninstalled Malwarebytes
yesterday. So far so good. I guess I'll look for another program for
when I need to do scans.


I use MSE real time, and have the free Malwarebytes installed, but only
loaded and run once a week.
It's fully up to date and gives no system problems when used like that.
