You may have updated your Malwarebytes recently and was shocked to discover that your Free edition is no more and instead have a 14-day Premium Trial edition. It’s not entirely transparent that you still have access to the Free version.

Note: The premium Edition offer real-time protection and the free version does not. A detailed comparison can be found here.

To revert back to Malwarebytes Free edition here’s what you need to do…

Open Malwarebytes, go to Settings on the left side panel, then to Account Details on the upper tabs. Then down below, click on the Deactivate Premium Trial button.
