The best solution to fix the Malwarebytes popups

Suzanne Shanks

Malwarebytes is a good program that offers various advanced services for keeping the system safe. You can install the setup and then access its features. It has the device security tools on freeware. If you need the advanced features for data and network security then users can get the premium subscription of Malwarebytes. When using the program, sometimes the user gets error popups. These pop-ups appear when some program files of Malwarebytes or the system files are not working. 

Troubleshooting Malwarebytes popups error

Restart the device 

When your antivirus is showing error popups then you should restart the device. Restarting will remove all the runtime errors which are affecting the antivirus. Now click on the program’s icon and go to its dashboard. Hit the scan option and the program will start scanning the device. 

Disable your Malwarebytes popups

If you are getting the popups often then turn off Malwarebytes popups. After disabling them, the user will not get the popups and he can work peacefully on the system. 

  1. Open your Malwarebytes dashboard
  2. Hit on the Settings option
  3. Tap the Application button 
  4. Go to Application Update
  5. Click on the Notify Me option and toggle the switch to Off

Disable all the notifications on Malwarebytes and now the user can work without any popups.  

Remove all the junk from the device

Users may get the regular pop-ups of Malwarebytes if the system has lots of junk. These junk files can cause errors while scanning the device. Sometimes, the antivirus can’t verify whether these files are reliable or not. Junk files look suspicious but don’t cause any harm. Your antivirus starts sending the pop-ups to the device to verify whether to remove those junk or not. To prevent the popups, open the temporary folder and remove all files. Now the user should check for other junk on the system. Open your drives and check for unused and unnecessary files. Delete those files from the system. Open the command screen and run the cleanmgr tool. The tool will inspect all existing files on the system. It lists out all junk files and shows you on the desktop. Click on the files and then select the OK button. Those files get deleted and now the user will not get the notifications.
