i did that before, its still not working, i just uninstalled again and downloaded and activated my account and it still pops up i can delete the notice 3 times and it will not appear again until i get on the internet again, then it comes back and repeat and rinse

Could be your PCpitstop software interfering.

The log you posted did not show you did a clean removal and reinstall using the support tool.

I do not know if it is relevant in your case, however we did have at least one user within the last couple of weeks posting about an issue where Malwarebytes wasn't working and it turned out that PCPitstop was blocking it as I recall, and once it was removed Malwarebytes started working fine.  I believe it even showed entries about it being blocked in the program's logs so that might be worth checking if possible.

From your log. Pcpitstop probably has a self-protection function for its files.
