Malwarebytes, a well-known antivirus program, has free and premium versions. The latter comes with an option called Web Protection which helps users to stay protected from malware and other online threats, by stopping them instantly when they attempt to attack. Unfortunately, many users have found that the Web Protection feature turns itself off for no reason. If this happens to you, follow these steps to get it back in operation:
If you are not able to fix an issue with Malwarebytes’ Web Protection by changing the settings of your browser or changing the browser, you may 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 on the executable and choosing “Properties”. From there, click on the “Compatibility” tab and then select the “Run this program as administrator” option.
Malwarebytes Web Protection identifies and blocks online scams, including browser lockers as well as other scare tactics that tech support scammers employ to extort money from unsuspecting victims. It also blocks third-party trackers that monitor online activity and use this data to target advertisements. It also blocks malware from installing cryptocurrency mining software in the browser, and also eliminates other malware. If you’re unsure whether this security suite is right for you, you can claim a 60-day refund, which is a lot longer than the 30-day guarantee offered by many competitors.
