Windows 10: MalwareBytes Pro about to expire. . . alternatives?

Win10 Pro 1909 x64

My malwarebytes pro license is about to expire. Along with common sense and MSE/Defender I've used it forever. But, now is not a great time to renew that license. Any suggestions for solid freeware replacements?



Thanks for reading!

Malwarebytes and Windows 10

Then I'll suggest you follow these steps:

1. Press Windows Key + R to open the run dialog

2. In the box that comes up, type services.msc and click OK

3. In the list, find Windows Management Instrumentation, and double click it

4. Change startup type to Automatic

5. See if you can open Malwarebytes, if not, do a reboot.

 

How do I get rid of the Malwarebytes Premium trial?

Just do the following:

Hello @walleyeblugil

1. Published lists that could be sorted by build number likely are non-existent. Without devoting more time, it would be best if you quote the entire version number in a reply.
2. If you have an unexpired or lifetime license, a clean install seems indicated if you wish to upgrade to Malwarebytes for Windows. (MB4)

If you wish to upgrade immediately, and your computer meets hardware/software minimums, then:

1. Please first make a safe/written record of the older product's valid Malwarebytes license Key/ID.
2. Deactivate the activated license.
3. Sequentially follow the steps in the following document:

Uninstall and reinstall Malwarebytes using the Malwarebytes Support Tool

Then activate to premium:
