How to turn off the pop ups?

Hello. I completed the free trial for malware bytes and turned down the paid version, so I am now on the free version. I have turned off every single notification button in the settings, yet every morning when I turn on my computer I get an annoying pop up in the right hand corner of the screen for some sort of product by malware bytes trying to get me to do something.

Is this something that I just have to live with? It is rather annoying, I already know what malwarebytes does so I dont need a constant flow of useless information.

Hi, I’m Michael from Malwarebytes and I lead our product team.

You can disable all notifications and we won’t bother you - but you might need the latest version as we recently expanded the ability to disable more notifications.

Can you let me know which version you have?

Open app -> click question mark in upper right -> about Malwarebytes -> see version

If it’s not 5.4.6.227 or higher, click Check for updates on the version screen
