Free Download Red Alert 3 Full Version For Windows 8
Donald
In the old Outlook I had plenty of rules created with alerts, in which each time a new email was received with specific conditions, i would receive a desktop notification and new popup in the New Item Alert windows along with playing a custom sound.
They always make themselves the active window when they pop-up, disrupting the application you happen to be running at the time. Turning off the Status bar notification under Settings does absolutely nothing, and it pop ups these damn advertisement windows every 30 seconds in the middle of my screen. It is so damn annoying that unless this problem can be resolved soon, I will have no alternative but to dump Malwarebytes and buy another product.
In case you were wondering Malwarebytes is not the ONLY application running on the computer, and it is really damn annoying when they pretend they own your computer and do whatever they damn well please. That is not the kind of company I want to do business with.

Malwarebytes does not display any advertisements in its tray notifications as far as I know (such behavior would be considered adware which is something Malwarebytes as an organization is very much against). Could you describe the text of the pop-ups you're seeing or perhaps get a screenshot of one of them? If they are notifications of something like websites being blocked or threats being detected then it could actually be a sign that your system may be infected with something, however it is also a possibility that one of the applications you are running is triggering the events which are causing the notifications to be displayed, if for example you use any peer-to-peer applications (Bittorrent, Skype, some online games that use peer-to-peer technology) and you can find out more about such scenarios and what you might do to eliminate the notifications by reviewing the information found here and here (follow the instructions under the Exclude an Application that Connects to the Internet section).
Every message Malwarebytes produces takes control of the PC, interrupting applications that are in progress. The annoying message I'm getting every 30 seconds asks me if I want to update to a new version of Malwarebytes, giving me only two options - install or cancel. When I select cancel then 30 seconds later the exact same message pops up, once again interrupting my other applications. This is damn annoying and unacceptable behavior for any application. Malwarebytes does not have a monopoly on my computer and I resent their hubris pretending that they do. I consider it malicious adware when you hock your goods every 30 seconds and refuse to allow the user to control their own PC, despite your claims to the contrary.
Every other notification Malwarebytes produces does the exact same thing. Even when just informing you that the scan was completed successfully Malwarebytes has to interrupt my other applications and take control just to popup a message saying everything was fine.
If you cannot tell me by the end of the day how to turn off these damn ads and extraneous messages, or at least make it so that they do not become the active window and interrupt my other applications, then I will buy another product tomorrow.
First off, it is not Malwarebytes intent to take control of your system or to interrupt full screen applications, however unfortunately this does sometimes occur because even though they are configured not to take top priority over full-screen applications, it sometimes still does depending on the application and how it is coded to handle its own priority as well as how Windows itself handles it which can vary from one application to another and from one version of Windows to another. Second, with regards to that specific notification about a new version being available, there are two options. First, you may open Malwarebytes and go to Settings>Application and click on the Install Application Updates to install the new version or download and install the latest version manually from here, or if you do not wish to install the new version, you may change the two settings circled at the top in the Application Updates section as shown in the below image (and you may also want to turn off the other two settings I've circled under Notifications as that will eliminate most other notifications):
You can find more info about this here. Also, if the new version has already been downloaded you may need to remove it in order to eliminate the reminders to install it since it is already prepared to install (assuming you had those top two settings enabled as they are by default, which is why it showed up in the first place). To do this, you should go to C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\instlrupdate and delete any installer you find there.
With regards to the notifications following a scan, unfortunately there is no way to eliminate them short of deleting your scheduled scans as they are configured to be displayed no matter what due to the fact that, if malware is detected then your action would be required to remove the threats, however if you scan manually on a regular basis then you don't really need any scheduled scans anyway, especially since you have the paid version of the product with its real-time protection active as this greatly reduces the chances of getting infected with anything.
If this is not acceptable to you then you may pursue a refund/cancel your subscription if you would prefer to do that instead. If so, then you will likely find the information in this support article to be of help. It provides contact information for the e-commerce providers that handle Malwarebytes subscriptions so that you can contact the one that handles your account and ask them to terminate it and refund the purchase cost assuming it is within the 30 day grace period according to the End User License Agreement which you may find a copy of here.
If your software cannot distinguish between a benign "scan completed successfully" message that requires no action from the user from an alert message that requires the user's attention, then that is an indication of piss poor programming.
The Settings window was the very first thing I changed. It appears to have absolutely no effect whatsoever. With both Application Update and Notification settings set to "Off," I continue to get spammed with messages, and they never close automatically either. Despite the completely bogus claim that notifications close after 5 seconds.
It isn't my software, I just help out here on the forums, however I get what you're saying and I have requested on multiple occasions that they alter the behavior of the software when a scan comes back clean so that its notification can be disabled so that only scans which actually require action are presented to the user however this change has not yet been made, likely due to the fact that the last several releases have largely been focused around fixing bugs/issues as well as compatibility with the latest builds of Windows 10 in addition to the usual enhancements to detection and protection capabilities for new threats.
The problem with the upgrade notifications was why I mentioned deleting the installer, as I've seen that issue reported previously and had users resolve it by deleting the already downloaded installer. With that said, we obviously advise keeping the application up to date as much as possible for the best stability and protection and once you install version 3.6.1, if you leave those settings for application updates disabled, you shouldn't see these notifications the next time a program version is released (though you will need to check manually, either via the Install Application Updates button I mentioned before or by checking the Malwarebytes website or here on the forums to find out about it and download/install it). As for them persisting past 5 seconds as they do, this is because certain notifications (those of the "alert" type basically, where there is an issue which requires your action to address it) are not bound to that timer in the same way that typical informational notifications would be (such as when a malicious website gets blocked or a threat has been detected by real-time protection and quarantined). Basically they are programmed to remain visible so that you are made aware that your action is still required/pending, and that the software/your system will remain in this state (i.e. infected or out of date etc.) until that action on your part is taken. At least that's my understanding of it. Someone from the Malwarebytes staff may correct me if I am mistaken here.
I apologize. I was under the impression that you worked for Malwarebytes and was providing technical support. I did not realize that you were just contributing freely and not in the employ of Malwarebytes. That is very generous of you.
I do not mind being notified that there is a new update available and asking me whether or not I want to install the update now or not, but once I respond with "cancel" I should not be repeatedly harassed every 30 seconds with the same question. That makes it malicious behavior, and it really pisses me off.
When using 3D modeling software that takes a very long time to render, I do not appreciate it when Malwarebytes interrupts that process just to tell me a scan was completed successfully. That also pisses me off. They can display messages without making it the active window.
Every time Malwarebytes displays any message, even those that require no action from the user, they take control of the PC, interrupting all other processes. That may have been acceptable behavior for software back in the solo-tasking world of the 1980s, but not today.
