Problem with new version

MBG conflicts with Malwarebytes DT app? Reboot seems to stop updater errors every 20 minutes.

Malwarebytes can act like ransomware.

I have been a subscriber of their premium products which includes Scanning, Privacy and a VPN. I received an email providing a glimpse of my data. It contained the WRONG NAME and WRONG birthdate. I never provided either. I asked that this be corrected and here is their latest reply:

The digital footprint report provides a glimpse into what information is associated with the information you provide. To see where that information is and how to correct it, you must subscribe to our Identity Theft Protection program. You can see more about it here.

Great when it works

I am also a big fan of Malwarebytes. I'm a paying customer of their Malwarebytes antivirus program for both Windows and Mac for many years. I worked in IT for 30 years, primarily as a C programmer and now retired. I use Browser Guard in Windows, and it works great. The Mac version for Safari has some issues. At least once per day, Browser Guard will either stop blocking ads or url's in Safari. If I reload the Browser Guard app, this will re-enable the blocking. I'm using the M1 Macbook Air. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the next update. Until then, I'm using the Edge version of Browser Guard, which works perfectly and the same as the Windows version.
