Users are now allowed to suppress Scan Notifications when no threats are...

Hello Malwarebytes-Team,

"Users are now allowed to suppress Scan Notifications when no threats are found"

can you set this as default setting?

Compared to Norton this setting is kind of hiding itself for the users face. What about, if you move it in the "Notification" Section of Malwarebytes?

@FetzBox22 thank you for the feedback. We did consider turning this on by default but there was concern about how existing users perceived the change. We found that some users prefer having zero notifications unless an action is required, while others preferred the occasional peace of mind to see that scans and updates are occurring regularly so they know they're always protected. It wasn't easy to please both types of users so we ultimately decided to add the functionality while maintaining consistency with the current experience.

In the future we hope to add a "Show less of these notifications" option right on the notifications so that you can update your preferences without even having to launch the product and find the relevant setting. That functionality however would have required more effort and we didn't want to delay this update any longer.

Thank you for your explanation - I can understand that it might be really hard to please all types of users 🙂
