So as long as you don't click either of those buttons, there won't be any conflicts. Clicking "Buy Now" and paying them enables it permanently.

Clicking "Activate" enables it temporarily, and then at the end of the trial period it goes back to not being enabled anymore.

What can be confusing is that it's the same software as the trial version - and, in fact, as the paid version - (all the code for all those extra functions that would conflict with Norton-or McAfee, or Kaspersky, or AVG-is on you machine it's just not enabled).

Hope this answers your questions, and sorry for the delay!Īs near as I can tell from the image you sent (given the continued presence of that "Activate" button), what you had was the free version. My goal isn't to make money for Symantec it's to help you keep your system secure.

First off, I'm a volunteer, and not a Norton employee.but more to the point-while its not what I would recommend-I would rather see somebody who just insists on running the full version of Malwarebytes dump Norton than try to run them both together. This last point is important: this is not Norton trying to get you to dump Malwarebytes. So the end result is you're paradoxically less protected than if you had either one alone. Which of course makes the other security program say, "Yikes-I'm under attack! It must be malware!"Īt which point you have two programs that you installed on your computer to protect you, actively trying to undermine each other's operations. So if you've got another security program running that offers real-time protection, eventually it's going to see those activities and say, "Well, I'Msecurity software.so thishas got to be malware!" And then it's going to go after the activity to shut it down. By its nature, security software that does real-time (as opposed to "on-demand," i.e., "just when you run it") scanning is that it does a lot of things (like blocking other programs from accessing or altering it, disabling other programs- i.e., malware-and checking for vulnerabilities in the operating system & other software) that look like malicious activity. The conflict between Norton and the paid version of Malwarebytes or its free trial is really a problem with having more than one security program installed that has real-time scanning functionality. as long as you never click either of those buttons.

So if you want to download the free version off that link and install it again, you will be completely fine. And-again, in their ideal world-after you've experienced the benefits of their full product for a while, as your free trial nears its end, you click "Buy Now." In their ideal world, eventually you get curious about the extra protection their paid product would offer, so you click on that "Activate" button, and that activates the trial version, temporarily enabling all that extra functionality that you weren't seeing before. You download the free version, and now it has those buttons down there at the bottom left, and you see them every time you run that free software. This may have been a change in the way Malwarebytes does business: obviously they would love it if everyone who downloaded the free version eventually paid them for the full version.so they've set it up to facilitate those transitions. From that, I can tell what you have (had? it sounds like you might have uninstalled it) is indeed the right software. I'm reposing a slightly edited version of the answer I sent you in response to your PM here, so folks who visit this thread in the future will see it. Meanwhile my dads does not ahve that (trial) on the side. I know you might not see it in the image, but it does say (trial) on it. I will show a picture of how it looks, because I could use help. Although after this I could not get the fee version of it. Although I think they installed the malwarebytes rootkit thing called mbar, but it's not in my control panel progams to be uninstalled, so I don't even know if it functions. What is happening and how can I get the free version again? As a note Geeksquad did look at my computer a while back, this is when I had malwarebytes uninstalled, and when i got ti back it was working liek it was before, which was rather well.

The box to uncheck start trial never showed up, and I followed the clicking the grey download on their sight as one of the fourm posts said.

I uninstalled restarted my computer and tried again, and the same thing. Although I realised now it might be helpful to have it once again, so I went to install the free version, and as I did what I usually would do, the Malwarebytes that was installed was the trial version. Curious I used to have the free version of malwarebytes and due to a reason I had it uninstalled.
