I up graded my Malwarebytes recently , -- all good - I only use the free version, no desire to go premium as I have slow - fast speed radio connection.
My Question is about the little pop up I now get frequently; is there a way to stop it?
In the preferences I do not have the look for updates box checked.
Running Mac OS if that matters.
Thanks for any advise. _________________ GeorgeBoards S8 Non Pedal Steel Guitar Instruments

What is the "pop up" you are getting? There could be several. That will help Wiz. _________________ GFI Ultra Keyless S-10 with pad (Black of course) TB202 amp, Hilton VP, Steelers Choice sidekick seat

Thanks Jack,
It comes up in the upper right corner of my Mac Book Pro; with a selection for Version Update or Close.
"A new and improved version of Malwarebytes is available" with the logo.
I only started getting it after I downloaded and installed the version update to whatever the new version is. _________________ GeorgeBoards S8 Non Pedal Steel Guitar Instruments

Please accept the new Malwarebytes update on the notice. You must approve all updates to the program itself. New sub-versions may be released as needed. You may have downloaded a version that is a decimal point outdated. The program detects when program updates are available and asks for permission to download and install them. This doesn't apply to definition updates, which proceed automatically. _________________ "Wiz" Feinberg, Moderator SGF Computers Forum

Thanks Wiz
The Previous version , only asked you to update the decimal as you ran it , so I am hearing you say it now sends in the little flags.
The email does the same thing when a new message arrives, except they go away by themselves.
I was hoping to get the MWB flags to go away by themselves too.
Not that bothersome for the ability to scan regularly. _________________ GeorgeBoards S8 Non Pedal Steel Guitar Instruments

George;
All of the nuisances go away if you register the program and renew when the time is up. I have been running the registered, paid versions of MBAM for a long long time. It runs in the background and protects against all manner of threats, both online and plugged in (version 3.x).
Years ago, MBAM was advertised as a backup solution that had your 6. Now, the tone has changed with the merging of multiple protection modules. It now has your 1. I have Malwarebytes protecting two of my computers that only have Windows Defender as the primary defense. While I don't really trust Defender to protect me from zero days and such, Malwarebytes does those things better than before. I don't even consider going without it. _________________ "Wiz" Feinberg, Moderator SGF Computers Forum

Thanks again Wiz
It was a higher version; I figured out the in the preferences the About MWB tells the version currently running.
The one in the prompter was a higher Decimal and it loads in a minute or so - not just a database upgrade; the Version.
I've been using MWB since you 1st told me (everyone) about it some years ago. For those who do not already know it is a must have utility for all systems.
As usual Wiz to the rescue. _________________ GeorgeBoards S8 Non Pedal Steel Guitar Instruments
