    Hello @newmember88

    Regarding Malwarebytes for Windows (MB4) Internet access, the average home user's Windows PC requires no modifications before, during, or after its installation.

    In general, MB4 must be allowed unrestricted Internet access. In particular, the Trial and Premium editions must be permitted to frequently & automatically self-verify and access the cloud to update MB4's many installed databases.

    And again after the update, MBAM automatically activates the premium trial, with only an OK button and no decline option..

    As i remember , they do not sell any lifetime license anymore ,
    official store stopped selling in mid-2014 .

    Because Malwarebytes believes that for company's sustainable development ,
    selling lifetime licenses is disadvantageous.

    I've recently done a fresh install of windows and decided to give Malwarebytes paid another go as I got a lifetime licence from years back. Just running it with Comodo firewall and Cruelsisters settings. What a great light set up it is. Cruelsister, your settings still rock. Its a great combo, this set up is a keeper

    Can you add exclusions by IP to exclude a PC from being checked by the web filter?

    I have a Plex server is like why I'm asking.

    Thank you always folks.

    Thank you too to the intrepid Wilders' Updates Team and others when I've fallen asleep at the wheel or I've otherwise dropped the ball.

    Thank you for the continued update on this thread and for helping others 1PW, greatly appreciated.

    For those that have asked. Yes, at this time there is no option during the install to decline a Trial. I and others in the company have asked for this option to be returned but not sure if or when that will be honored.

    Disabling the Trial is easy though.
