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?

Malwarebytes has a stellar reputation for protecting devices from unwanted software, & year on year has expanded its abilities. I've been a customer for years but also used the free version even longer on an ad hoc basis - I can remember when Malwarebytes was sometimes the only solution to an infected PC, when other scanners would fail to remove or disable the virus effectively. First-class protection at a reasonable price

Although this app is industry leading, Android free version, database updates are incredibly slow to occur: usual download less than 0.10 kB/s. Phone number checker seems faulty; Australian mobile numbers gave "error, retry" response & retry button does nothing. I feel pricing is high for both paid versions given lack of security features offered by others - but still best for malware. Add $40 p.a for VPN but no speed, data or POP's info. Adware version with 50% of "Standard" would be awesome!
