Sorry, but that misses the point that has been well made through this thread.

So we conclude that the only way we can stop the Malwarebytes Premium popup nags is to stop paying for Malwarebytes and do the manual free scans? This is totally bizarre to give the user a choice of whether to run modules or not but then endlessly nag them for 'getting it wrong'. If Malware Protection didn't flatten my processors when it runs I'd love to be running it but I actually want to use my computer and not have it as a squeeky clean ornament so I've no option not to. Come on Malwarebytes see a bit of sense here and tone down the nags please!

Surely the issue here is around who is determining the policy for switching it off. I support the view that businesses need a common policy and that shouldn't be tweakable by their users. However whoever is responsible for the policy at that business (like me for my small business) should be able to decide the settings and Malwarebytes should respect that choice (us having paid for it) and stop nagging them. I wouldn't mind if I got the occassional reminder but it nags too often. I have real time protection switched off, website protection switched on and do scheduled full scans. I only have real-time protection switched off because it slows down my system too much which has been the case over the last two months. I use a Quad Core AMD Phenom with 8GB and it's clear from other posts that this issue isn't taken seriously hence me switching certain bits of Malwarebytes off for practical reasons. I run AVG real time protection by the way and that seems to have negligable effect.
