Malwarebyte releases major fail update (again)

[Sailor Steve]

I just had a slightly different experience. I have the free version, and a few days ago they told me they had a new update available. I thought that was cool, so I downloaded it and rather than an update it was a one-week free trial for the full pay-for version. I didn't mind it and it does seem to do some cool real-time protection stuff. On the other hand there I can't really afford it and I'm certainly not going to pay after they sneak it onto my computer under the guise of a new 'update'. I let it expire and won't be buying it. I will, however, continue to use the free version as it is very good at what it does.
