Malwarebytes, a popular antivirus software, comes with premium and free versions. The latter also comes with a feature called Web Protection which helps users stay safe from malware, and other online threats by stopping them instantly when they attempt to attack. However, many users have noticed that the Web Protection feature turns itself off without explanation. If this happens to you, follow these steps to get it back up and running:

If you’re not able to fix the issue with malwarebytes’ web protection by changing your browser or changing the settings, you might consider using System Restore to return to an earlier point in time in which the Check Out issue was not present. This can be done by right-clicking the main executable of the program, and then selecting the “Properties” option. From there, click the “Compatibility” tab and then select the “Run this program as an administrator” option.

Malwarebytes Web Protection detects and prevents online scams like browser lockers and scare tactics used by scammers who use tech support to extort cash from unwary victims. It also blocks third-party trackers that monitor your online activities and utilizes this information to tailor advertisements. Additionally, it blocks malware from installing cryptocurrency miners and also gives other malware the boot. If you’re unsure whether this security suite is right for you, you can avail 60 days of a refund, which is a lot longer than the 30-day warranty offered by the majority of competitors.
