MB keeps loading w/ windows, no matter what I do

[Kuriousjorj]

Just built a new system, intalled Windows 7.

 

Either when windows loads, or within a minute or two, I notice that MB is always loaded into the system tray, to the right-most of the task bar.

 

I have MB itself set to not load, and I unchecked it in MsConfig.

 

Yet it keeps loading (or keeps turning on after I do anything interactively, not sure which)

 

 

I don't want it to be on all the time, don't want it to load.

Hi:

 

You might want to see this very recent post by the MBAM Product Manager and Forum Admin, exile 360. 

I think that might explain and fix it for you?

(I'm not sure that it's the same, as you describe a new computer build with a presumably fresh install of MBAM. The others experiencing this seem to have a leftover 1.75 registry startup entry after upgrading to 2.00.)

 

In any event, please post back and let us know.

 

Thanks,

My version says 'trial' after the name.  Is that the version I want installed?

The Trial version has the real time protection and needs to load to do its job. You may want the Free version which only runs on demand. Your Trial version will expire in 14 days and revert to the Free version.

Ah, ok... So once that happens, it will stop loading w/ startup anyhow?  (I guess I could also R-click and uncheck the real time protection stuff, to keep it from running automatically)

Correct, on both counts - after trial reverts it will stop, but you can also stop it manually.

The trial has ended, yet it keeps loading and running on startup.

 

This is starting to annoy me.

There should be an End Trial button on the main Dashboard screen... you can also do the steps below, and when you reinstall unselect "Start Trail..."

Please run the following clean removal procedure and let us know if that corrects the issue or not.
