"Malwarebytes is off and your device may be unprotected"


Recommended Posts

I just installed Win10 v1803 and see the message in the Title displayed in Windows Defender "Virus and threat protection". Just after installing v1803, Malwarebytes converted from the premium trial to free. There was a mention in some other posts here that I can check "Never register Malwarebytes in the Windows Action Center" to get rid of the message. Unfortunately changing that option is not available in the "free" version. Is there some other way I can remove this message?
