Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO features a protection engine that provides proactive defense against attack. The anti-virus software monitors your computer for suspicious activity, alerting you whenever it detects a potential threat. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, however, can sometimes miscategorize benign programs or activities as harmful, reporting what's known as a "false positive." You can disable temporarily real-time protection to prevent conflicts.

Tips

• To prevent the protection engine from reactivating at startup, click "Start with Windows" to clear the check box next to it in the context menu.
• If the "Enable Protection" option is grayed out, select "Exit" from the context menu instead.
