Default Malwarebytes problem?

Over the past week, my computer has locked up three times--to the point
where I had to turn it off manually. I suspect the problem is
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,

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.
