Malwarebytes, a renowned antivirus program, provides free and premium versions. The premium version comes with a feature called Web Protection that helps keep users protected from malware and other online threats by stopping them as soon as they try to attack without needing to run a scan. Unfortunately, a number of users have discovered that the Web Protection feature turns itself off for no reason. Follow these steps if this happens to you:
If you are not able to fix the issue with Malwarebytes’s Web Protection by changing the settings for your browser or altering the browser, you may want to use System Restore to go back to a period when this issue did not occur. This can be done by right-clicking the main executable and choosing “Properties”. From there, click on the “Compatibility” tab and then select the “Run this program as administrator” option.
Malwarebytes Web Protection identifies and stops online scams, including browser lockers as well as other scare tactics that scammers who offer tech support employ to extort cash from victims who are not aware. It also blocks third-party trackers that monitor activity on the internet and use this information to target advertisements. In addition, it stops malware from installing in-browser cryptocurrency miners and gives other malware the boot. If you’re unsure if this security suite is the right one for you, you can claim 60 days of a refund, which is a lot longer than the 30-day guarantee offered by many competitors.
