NOTE: When you install the free version of Malwarebytes, it doesn't automatically update. Only the paid version automatically updates itself. You do not have to install the paid version. When you have the free version, you will see a pop up periodically for you to update the software. You are not obligated to update or buy the software. There is no issue with that. If you do not want to see the pop ups, you will either have to buy the full version or uninstall the software.
