Malwarebytes has recently disabled definition updates for it's unsupported EOL version 2.2.1.1043
I am looking for advice for a 12 year old PC running Win 10 and no third party antivirus. It has been running the free version of Malwarebytes Anti Malware alongside the BETA versions of Anti-Exploit and Anti-Ransomeware.
The obvious step would be to update the Anti Malware version and pay for the premium subscription to include the other products.
If the user is unable or unwilling to finance a subscrirpition, what is the next best option?
Is it best to update the Anti Malware version to get regular definition updates manually and do without the other products?
Or, on the basis of no threats being detected after years of using the existing combination, is it better to leave the situation as it is, with the proviso that it will only scan using an out of date definition file, (bearing in mind that ADW cleaner could be used for some types of threat if necessary)?
Thoughts please?
