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?

Since it's such a backbone of any system (sarcasm intended), then just
remove it. If you're right, things will work great.
Then reinstall something after you're sure all is well.

Sounds like no down side to me.

Thank you, Big Al.
