Malwarebytes not free anymore

[delpy8]

Just done an update and its updated to a trial version,

Anyone recommend something similar and free

Thanks

 

[Katoom]

I've just updated and the offer was a free trial of the full version. I declined, just carried on using the normal one as before.

What Katoom said.

No problems here.

Same here - just decline the trial version and all will be fine.

 

[delpy8]

weird telling me trial is over when it was never selected

 

[delpy8]

Same here - just define the trial version and all will be fine.

DOH it helps if I read things correctly

Sorry

I've done the same. Reject installing the newer trail version then update definitions from within Malwarebytes application itself. Seems to be working OK at the moment.

please not that this version of malwarebytes has start up entries (free version) which previous versions never had

startup entries can be disabled from within mbams gui

 

[Ygg]

All working ok here too

I wish programs like this had 'donate' buttons instead of licences

 

[deadman_uk]

Yep declined the trial and it works fine

 

[Gunslinger]

the startup entries are related to the service part of it i believe, and linked with the right click context menu option of "scan for malware" .... it needs at least part running in the back ground for this menu option to work right, or it would take ages to open up when you want to scan something

the issue is that the ones that do never get enough donations to make it worth while!
so when some big co comes along with a few grand and an offer for the programmer, they kinda can't refuse!

Well, I wish they had donate options as well as licences then
