Malwarebytes is a well-known antivirus program that provides both free and premium versions of its software. The latter includes a feature called Web Protection that helps keep users protected from malware and other online threats by stopping them at the moment they try to attack without running a scan. Unfortunately, a number of users have discovered that the Web Protection feature turns itself off for no apparent reason. Follow these steps if this happens to you:
If you are unable to resolve the issue with malwarebytes’s Web protection by changing your browser or changing settings, you may want to consider using System Restore to return to an earlier time where the issue wasn’t present. This can be done by right-clicking the main executable of the program, and then selecting the “Properties” option. From there, click the “Compatibility” tab transaction purpose software and then select the “Run this program as administrator” option.
Malwarebytes Web Protection identifies and prevents online scams, which include browser lockers and other scare tactics that tech support scammers employ to extort cash from innocent victims. It also blocks third-party trackers that monitor activity on the internet and use this information to target advertisements. It also blocks malware from installing cryptocurrency miners in the browser and eliminates other malware. If you’re unsure whether this security suite is for you, the company offers a 60-day money-back assurance which is much longer than the majority of competitors that offer a 30-day period.
