Malwarebytes Forced Trial

Has anyone updated their Malware bytes lately? It forces a 5 day trial of Premium. No way I could find to remove it or block auto startup.
  • Or you can wait five days and it reverts to the free version. Speaking of free, how can you complain about something they give away?

    X2. Let the trial run through its course and, voila, you'll have the free version automatically.

    If you have another av program you will need to turn off the MwB real time protection to avoid probable conflict.

    The paid version doesn't interfere with Windows Defender, if you're using that in Win 10.
