Love that you caught this change!

We're currently offering MB5 to some new users as we continue on the path to make this available for everyone. Additionally, if you're a current MB4 user and you'd like to update on your own, you can do so by manually installing (via this link). Please note that we are still working on some migration aspects so certain things might not fully work just yet (e.g. certain license types won't allow VPN to be purchased / activated / used).

And yes, you can consider us out of beta for MB5 which means you'll see both regular and beta updates just like you currently do for MB4. We do not have date yet for when we'll release MB5 to both all new and all existing users. As we get closer to that date, we'll be sure to keep y'all informed.

Lastly, it'd be awesome if you tried out MB5 and then shared your feedback with us.

i have been testing Malwarebytes 5 since the beginning and always loved the faster loading GUI and how well integrated the VPN is.

Nice! Yeah, the UI instantly loading is one of my favorite enhancements too!

Thanks for continuously testing and providing us feedback.
