It would be real nice if they informed you what you are going to get when all you clicked on to do was an update. Be honest and tell the customer they are being forced to use the premium version for a trial period.
The program also auto starts at boot and you can't disable it in startup of Task Manager.
Try running msconfig, that should give you a handy user interface to disable startup of anything. Be warned you can disable startup of necessary items using this. Start with the 'Startup' tab, sort by Manufacturer and you should find it easy enough. Uncheck, follow instructions..don.
All this is not necessary! All you have to do is right mouse click on the Malwarebyte's icon in the task bar and then remove the check mark where it says Open when Windows starts.

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.

Yes, it forces you into a premium trial....if you don't sign up and pay at the end of the "trial" period it automatically switches you to the free version...
