Malwearebytes for Ventura 13.0 missing extension

[jeffeyer]

I followed your steps on this link.  Now, the Malwarebytes Privacy is missing.  Do we need this extension?  If yes, please show us how to get it back on the list.

Malwarebytes Privacy is a separate program/app and not an extension. You can install it if you have a subscription to it.

Install and activate Malwarebytes Privacy VPN on a Mac device

Is Malwarebytes Privacy for VPN?  

Yes, I have the subscription.  I saw two names for Malwarebytes Privacy and Malwarebytes Protection before I fixed the setting.  This is what happened after the privacy is gone.  If it is not for VPN, then what is it?  If it is important to have the Malwarebytes Privacy then how can we get it back?

If Malwarebytes Protection is more important than the Malwarebytes Privacy, then I guess that it's okay with me.

The extension is only used if you turn on the Connection Rules feature. If you use that, go try to turn Connection Rules back on, and it should walk you through the process of re-enabling it (and ensuring it gets added to the Full Disk Access list again).

Where can I find the Connection Rules feature?  System Preferences?  Full Disk Access?   I assume that the Connection Rules is related to the Windows.

It is found in the settings within the Malwarebytes Privacy app. If you're not using that feature, then there's no need to worry about the system extension not being active. The rest of the features of the Privacy app should work just fine without it.
