Malwarebytes, a popular antivirus software, comes with premium and free versions. The latter has a feature known as Web Protection which helps users to stay protected from malware and other online threats by stopping them immediately when they attempt to attack. Unfortunately, Web Protection has been frequently shut off without apparent reason. If this happens to you take these steps to get it working again:
If you are not able to fix an issue with Malwarebytes’ Web Protection by altering the settings for your browser or altering the browser, you might prefer to use System Restore to go back to a point in time when this issue was not present. This can be done by right-clicking the main executable of the program and selecting the “Properties” option. From there, click on the “Compatibility” tab and then select the “Run this program as administrator” option.
Malwarebytes Web Protection detects and stop online scams, such as 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 monitor online activity and use the information to target ads. Additionally, it blocks malware from installing cryptocurrency miners and also gives other malware the boot. If you’re uncertain about whether this security suite is suitable for you, the company offers a 60-day money-back guarantee which is much more than other competitors 30 days.
