First off hats to Malwarebytes for such a great product. The Malwarebytes Toolset is just awesome. I have no ill will towards anyone's opinion but thought I would share a second one. As Malwarebytes has grown in people so does the bills. I think we all get that, to make a great product you need great people. The only reason that I dislike the addition of the premium support 14 day trial is because I, the family/friend computer support guy, is simply downloading Malwarebytes to clean a problem. I don't need the premium version, my family/friend have no clue what all is going on so it's an annoyance.
But now that Malwarebytes has name....as a leader in malware removal, as a top hit when you search for "remove malware"…..what about the family/friend that wants to take the malware problem in their own hands. Just as you teach your child to look both ways before crossing the street for their safety, the premium version honestly knows what's best of the non technical family/friend that DIDN"T call you for help (that could be a good thing). The 14 day trial is a warning....and my goodness everyone....malware is malicious software. There is nothing malicious about Malwarebytes. You give them money....they give you a great product, for a whole year. Ture Malware takes your money and might plant a virus to take more money down the road. Malware may even force someone to go to a store and have to pay to get their computer cleaned.
Now what would be cool is a technician copy that may still have a button/banner to add the Premium but by default it will only be the free scanner. You could have this tucked away in support/downloads somewhere. Trust me, once we find it we will share it. That way the main website will always advertise the version that will keep non technical family and friends safe from crossing the road but keep the technicians happy while still performing a service to the family and friends that rely on them.
