Try the CNET, if you are more comfortable. Read any fine print. Be sure you are always with the free version. I used the CNET without any problem.

Try this one, if the other gives you problems.

or this...

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

 

[richc46]

Yes, the top one, should give you the free version (the one that says download now).
If you click on that you should go right to the download.

Im familiar with the top option. It brings you right to the free download.

 

[nnj925]

ok...I just downloaded it...but my icon is not called Malwarebytes like it used to be...its called Tech Tracker...and its asking if I want to scan now?

 

[richc46]

I think that you must have some malware in your computer.
Stop everything
Run a full anti virus scan

 

[nnj925]

y do you think that? that was what it was called the download on CNET..it was called tech tracker....if you read it above you will see it.

 

[nnj925]

My bit defender is coming up clean. What do you want me to run a scan with??

 

[richc46]

Usually we say malwarebytes, but cant do it in this case.

TechTracker is fine Rich

CNET TechTracker - the easiest way to keep software up-to-date

Malwarebytes is also hosted on the malwarebytes website:

[nnj925]

ok..tom....should I do the scan that tech tracker is asking me to do? and is this part of malewarebytes or do I have to download something else too?

Clicking on Download Now here takes you to either Major Geeks, CNET, or fileforum.

Here is the direct link from the latter site: Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for free - Fileforum

 

[tom982]

No, uninstall TechTracker. You don't need it, I think Rich misread the post before

Install Malwarebytes from the link in my last post

Tom

Incidentally, the free and pro downloads are one and the same. The pro license merely unlocks features that are not available in the free edition. See here for a comparison.

Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a free download that removes viruses and malware from your computer

 

[nnj925]

Ok I am installed the malwarebyte from your link above...tom....it looks exactly the same as the one I did this morning..I am running a scan right now...with it. Then I am going to re start just to see if it says expired again...

 

[tom982]

I just want to ensure you've downloaded it from a legitimate source Yes, let us know how it goes

Tom

 

[nnj925]
