Default Malwarebytes problem?

Jo-Anne wrote:
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?



I also got the free trial on an update. Been there and did not like it. It
tended to slow my computer down and I did NOT ask for it.
I'm a bit late with this, sorry.


1.. Launch Malwarebytes. You will see Malwarebytes. | Premium Trial
displayed at the top of the Dashboard.
2.. Go to Settings My Account tab.
3.. Click the Deactivate Premium Trial button. Click Yes, when prompted
with the confirmation window.
4.. Once complete, you will notice that Malwarebytes 3 will revert to FREE
version.
