Windows 10: malwarebytes

Some time ago I came with some issues concerning my computer windows 10 desktop. Several members mentioned and suggested that I download the free malwarebytes program, which I did. I believed that the program was working ok, I ran it every day. Lately I believe that the program was updated or changed, it now seems to be on steioroids, going a little crazy. program finds many items it finds possibly bad. One day I put all the items I am not a computer nerd in quarantine Then my 3rd party email program stopped working until I removed this long list of items out of quarantine . Any suggestions would be appreciated. Currently when I run a scan, it is not unusual to have 70 items in question, after the scan. HELP Thank you in advance for any suggestions concerning this matter.

Malwarebytes for Windows Help - Settings

Scroll down to Windows Action Center, see:

You may have noticed a flag in your system tray that sometimes has a red icon with a white X appear over the flag. That is a status indicator for the Windows Action Center, which tells you when your computer has a security issue that needs your attention.
Malwarebytes Premium 3.0 or Malwarebytes Trial 3.0 can now be registered as a security solution on your computer. There are three settings available, which will be abbreviated here for easier reading. Brief descriptions for the meaning of each setting are
also provided.

• Let Malwarebytes choose whether to register: Malwarebytes will determine whether it should be registered in Action Center. The program will not register when Microsoft Security Essentials is in use on a Windows 7 or older operating
  system. It will also not register when Windows Defender is used on a Windows 8 or newer OS.
• Always register Malwarebytes: Malwarebytes program status will always appear in Action Center.
• Never register Malwarebytes: Malwarebytes program status will never appear in Action Center.
