Not ready to update - stop asking

[tomoz]

I think I saw a post regarding this before but now I am unable to find it. I am still running Version 2.2.1.1043 on Win 7/64 and at the moment I am not ready to update yet to V.3. 

I used to have the program configured to check for program updates and I suppose during one of these checks MWB downloaded the new version already and now keeps asking me to install. Is there any option to stop this?  I have unchecked the tick box to check for program updates but as I apparently are ready to install, this won't make any difference. I can click "later" each time but this is getting annoying. Is there no way to make MWB remember my choice so that I can come back when I am ready to update?

Hi tomoz

Is this what you were looking for?

Delete the file listed in the post above and the prompt should stop.

Aura, thanks for that - yes, that's the post I seem to remember. I have now found the file but despite having full adminstrator access it resists all attempts to get deleted.

Exit Malwarebytes (right-click on the tray icon for that option), and you should be able to delete it.

already tried that but no difference - do I need to reboot?

Open Malwarebytes, disable the Self-protection option, then Exit it and try to delete the file.

Aura, thanks for your patience - this did it.

No problem tomoz, you're welcome
