There seemed little point in 'following up', having been told that the unwanted behaviour is by design - and as the behaviour occurred on both my desktop and laptop I doubt a failing DIMM had anything to do with it.

Thanks for the reply, however, as above in my original post I have attempted to disable notifications in order to solve this issue but the popups remain. From your reply it seems that if notifications have been disabled the behaviour I am experiencing should not be happening?

Hi folks Long time MBAM user here, been quite happy with product until recent update - as of about a month ago, MBAM has started popping up 'protection disabled' warnings telling me that "one or more components of protection are disabled". These appear every time I log in to Windows, and also appear at random when working at desktop. I am aware that real-time protection and malicious website blocking are disabled. This is intentional, as I run regularly scheduled scans and MBAM takes issue with a number of websites hosted in eastern Europe that I visit on a semi-regular basis, and I do not wish to be nagged about my choice of settings every time I start my machine. As above, previous versions of MBAM did not nag me about this. I have done a bit of searching and come across some other threads on this issue that indicate that this is perhaps not expected behaviour. As such, I have attached to this post the 'FRST', 'Addition' and 'CheckResults' logs requested in other threads. I have also attempted to perform a 'clean' uninstall and reinstall of MBAM as listed here and tried the 'Restore default settings' option in MBAM's Settings window. I have also disabled MBAM notifications. None has fixed this issue. Would appreciate any help in returning MBAM to the original desired behaviour of not spawning annoying popup windows - seriously considering jumping ship if this keeps up.
