Malwarebytes is a well-known antivirus program that offers free and premium versions of its software. 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 an initial scan. However, many 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’re not able to fix the problem with malwarebytes web protection by changing your browser or changing the 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, and then choosing “Properties”. From there, click on the “Compatibility” tab, and then choose the “Run this program as an administrator” option.
Malwarebytes Web Protection detects and blocks online scams, including browser lockers and scare tactics employed by scammers claiming to be tech support agents to steal money from unsuspecting victims. It also blocks third-party trackers that record your online activities and use this data to target advertisements. Finally, it prevents malware from installing in-browser cryptocurrency miners and allows other malware to be kicked out. If you’re unsure if this security suite is the right one for you, the company provides a 60-day money-back guarantee, which is considerably higher than other rivals that offer a 30-day period.
