Malwarebytes is a well-known antivirus program that provides free and premium versions of its software. The latter also comes with a feature known as Web Protection which helps users remain safe from malware and other online threats, by stopping them immediately when they attempt to attack. Unfortunately, a number of users have discovered that the Web Protection feature turns itself off for no apparent reason. If this occurs to you:
If you’re unable to fix the issue with malwarebytes’s web protection by modifying your browser or changing the settings, you might be able to use System Restore to return to an earlier time when the issue did not occur. This can be accomplished by right-clicking on the executable and choosing “Properties”. Click the “Compatibility tab” and then select the “Run this application as an administrator” option.
Malwarebytes Web Protection identifies and prevents online scams, which include browser locks and other spooky tactics that scammers who offer tech support use to extort money from innocent victims. It also blocks third party trackers that monitor online activity and use the information to target advertisements. It also stops malware from installing cryptocurrency miners in the browser and kicks out other malware. If you’re unsure if this security suite is suitable for you, you can get a 60-day money back guarantee, which is more than the 30-day guarantee offered by many competitors.
