Ratings and reviews

Won't let me past "turn on notifications" screen. App is forcing me to turn them on. Why? What's so important that I need them on? I've read that your notifications are mainly trying to sell upgrades and act more like ads than actual notifications. What say you? Edit 1: I can't issue a ticket cause the app won't let me past the mandated notification setup. It wasn't updated per your reply. still forces one to allow notifications before moving forward. why can't y'all get this right?

I've been using Malwarebytes for years. Something changed, possibly in the last update, where every text I receive gets flagged as containing a potentially malicious link. Thing is most of those texts do not contain any links. I've tried getting online help only to be told the only way to stop the issue is to turn off text protection. This is a new issue with no acknowledgement that something changed, and no satisfactory solution. I am questioning the value of continuing my subscription.

I have had this app for a long time and always thought it was pretty good but I don't know what they changed recently but it's now giving me notices on literally EVERYTHING including my security system messages. There needs to be an option to tell the program that certain messages are safe. I may uninstall if it continues to alert on messages that were never a problem previously.

What’s new

We redesigned the whole app - and honestly? We're a little obsessed with how it turned out.
New look, new vibe, same protection you trust - just way easier on the eyes (and your thumbs). It's like your favorite app just came back from a very productive vacation. Update now. You're welcome.
