Hello Porthos - the fact is that I was considering uninstalling this free MBAM. The only area where it is better than Defender is in catching PUPs but I have that area covered already. So I shall shortly uninstall MBAM using my Revo Pro. I'm grateful to the help I've been given with this thread. Should I receive any more "a new version is available" messages after say ten days (it should have gone by then) I'll take appropriate action.

When I signed in this session, I enter my password carefully and correctly but it was rejected. I tried again but was locked out for 15 minutes, after which I ran the download again but it didn't create a file on my desktop. I ran it yet again but it was again blocked by Defender and this time there wasn't the 'more' option. So there were no three dots. It then told me to sign in again and again rejected my password, per snip. I am fully aware what is meant by the message "a new version is available" but I DON'T want to see it. It's invading MY laptop so please block it. Can this be done?

It just got worse. I clicked on the link to follow the steps that you outlined and couldn't get any further - Windows Defender is retaliating, per the snip below. What shout I do now? PS Every time I power up I see another irritating pop-up from you. See below. It's beginning to turn me off MBAM. Can you block it?

here's the contents in free form rich text in case it helps you get what you need: @echo off ( reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION" /s WMIC DATAFILE WHERE name="C:\\windows\\system32\\mshtml.dll" get Version /format:Textvaluelist ) >> "%userprofile%\desktop\mb-query.txt" 2>&1 in free form plain text = @echo off ( reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION" /s WMIC DATAFILE WHERE name="C:\\windows\\system32\\mshtml.dll" get Version /format:Textvaluelist ) >> "%userprofile%\desktop\mb-query.txt" 2>&1

@LiquidTension I've run that query.bat. I haven't saved it and again would prefer not to take a screen print for the reason I gave earlier. Is this snip enough for you, please? PS The snip I saved was of the full screen below my top bars but the image that appears below appears to have been trimmed at both sides - can you see the full snip?

@LiquidTension Many thanks for removing my original snip. Back to your questions: How many times in total have you seen this notification? It probably started appearing around the 26th February How soon after you power on the machine do you see the notification? Immediately Is it consistently displayed whenever the machine is powered on? Yes but I usually close it with the X How often do you shut down and power on the machine? Probably 3 or 4 times a day. I'll now run that link in your #2 and I'll get back asap. Thanks

PS Have I put this in the right section please?

I've just had an interesting conversation with Porthos and this topic came up. I use Microsoft Edge, not because I like it but because MS have effectively killed off Internet Explorer. These appear to be the best browsers available, to quote a web article: Google Chrome: "for Almost Everyone." Microsoft Edge: "If you don’t need cross-platform syncing and you want to annotate on web pages." [What the heck does this mean in plain English?] Opera: "If you are looking for a great web browser and you have not invested heavily in Microsoft." [Again, what does "invested heavily" mean in plain English?] Mozilla Firefox: "If you are cautious about privacy." [Surely every one is 'cautious about privacy'! Is Firefox better in this respect?] Vivaldi: "The best browser for Windows 10 if you are a power user." [What's a "power user"] I'd be very interested to see your comments. Thanks.

Hello again Porthos. Edge is poor in my view - they even have to rely on an outside expert to tell you how to set up favourites. I much preferred IE10 but Microsoft has given up on it. As soon as I log in here or on the MBAM site up pops the blasted "notification" message and none of the MS Community experts can tell me how to add MBAM/MBAM forum to my Settings. I guess I'll just have to ignore the message! I'm interested to read your thoughts on Edge so I'll create a new thread on browsers to get more views on the subject. Thanks anyway. -

Hello Porthos. As soon as I clicked on the email notification that you'd replied, up popped the message that this site wants to send me notifications as you see below. But I can't add this site in my Notifications in Settings. I'm using Edge. -

I was prompted to run the Support Tool but it hasn't helped. There's nothing in my Settings that will enable me to add the forum. What should I do next please?
