Hello brian1966, Welcome to Malwarebytes.org

If you have the free Malwarebytes-AntiMalware version, it is an on-demand manual scanner only. No need to turn it off

The paid version has real-time protection and it can be disabled by

• Right click the MBAM icon in the system tray.
  
• Click on Enable Ptotection
  
• this message window will appear, click Yes to disable
  
  
• The MBAM icon in the System tray will turn Black signifying that
  
• MBAM real-time protection is disabled
  

To re-enable MBAM real-time protection

• Click the MBAM icon in the system tray
  
• Click on Enable Ptotection and the
  
• MBAM System tray icon will turn Red signifying that
  
• MBAM real-time protection is now enabled

If you have the free Malwarebytes-AntiMalware version, it is an on-demand manual scanner only. No need to turn it off due to it has no real time protection running in the background so it will not interfere nor hinder other security programs running on your computer.
