I would post the issue at the Malwarebytes forum since you paid for it, they may help you get another license along the way..

I use the free version of Malwarebytes and had the same thing occur. I used their removal tool to remove what I had on the computer...rebooted... downloaded MB and re-installed. So far no pop-ups and it did not open and start with Windows as it had been.

Thanks, Zep and Shboom. I think I'll do OK without the license, but I do intend to download and reinstall the free version. Shboom's experience sounds encouraging. I just couldn't put up with the intrusive nagging.

experiencing the same problem, nagging popup many times during usage, where do I find the removal tool? I have looked and looked everywhere, best I spoze would be to uninstall? and reinstall? Need to find a link for the freebie tho as I have that now.
Thanks for any assist.

Shaddy: You should be able to download the installation program here:

To uninstall the program because it was causing trouble, I went from Start>Control Panel >Programs and Features, and then found Malwarebytes in the list of programs and clicked on its name to select it, at which point a row of possible things to do appeared up above the list. One of them was Uninstall, so I clicked on that to uninstall the program. I am running Windows 7 and your PC's operating system may do things a bit differently so far as the names of things are concerned, but the general idea is to use the Control Panel to uninstall programs.

In my case, it was a bit more complicated than that, because Windows said it couldn't uninstall Malwarebytes as something was missing. To fix that, I downloaded a new copy of its installation software and installed that, then I was able to uninstall the whole thing. I have been too busy to reinstall and try using it again, but expect to get around to doing that today. And I sure hope those nagging pop-ups will have disappeared. If not, I guess my only option will be to keep uninstalling the program and reinstalling it from time to time as needed. Hope it doesn't come to that, because it's really a good program.

Thanks for your help, lots of times, I am skeered to forge ahead and do things, and because I forged ahead and installed the Adobe Flash update, thinking that is what got me into the foolishness I am now dealing with.
Appreciate your words, will help me with my problem, and perhaps with what I am experiencing, can just unstall, reinstall, and go forward. Fingers crossed for sure. Got hope for you too.

Wanted to add, thanks for the tip about downloading the new program, to uninstall the old one, makes sense, I might never have thought of that.

For what it's worth, after all the stuff I did to try to get rid of the nagging, when I reinstalled Malwarebytes yesterday, it surprised me by still remembering my license, which I had canceled in the effort to fix the problem. So I allowed it to use the license again, and this time, there has been no more nagging--presumably there wouldn't be if I again decided to invalidate the license, either. I'm so relieved.
