I keep downloading malewarbytes and within a couple of days it says trial is over. It will still work for awhile, but then the icon will change and it won't work, so I delete and download from a different site. I have gone to sites that mention nothing about it only being a free trial. Never had this until recently and have had malwarebytes for years. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi Patti With the latest version of Malwarebytes, the trial version is installed by default. However, during the install there is a check mark available to activate the 14 day trial; if you do not want to activate the trial then uncheck this option during the install process. Hope this clears up that issue for you. Satchfan
Yes, you can download it from here.

I just uninstalled and re-installed MBAM myself to see what happened with the version I have sent you to and this is what you have to do.

During installation and when it has finished installing, the final window, “Completing the MalwarebytesAnti-Malware Setup Wizard, has three options, the top one being Enable free trial of MalwarebytesAnti-Malware PRO

Remove the check mark next to that.

I downloaded it from your site and when it was finished installing, the final windows said Update or Launch. It did not say anything about enable free trial. When I went to launch it had a place where you could click free trial or buy. I did nothing. But I have been to this site before and it just automatically goes to free trial. I guess when it says free trial is over, I will download it again. Thanks.
