    Have tried the suggestions which I thank you for but Malwarebytes still icon still appearing at bottom right side of taskbar when windows starts so seems its difficult to disable.
    Right-mouse-click icon, left-mouse-click "Start wth Windows" to untick it.

    I dumped avast a long time back. Got bloated.

    Use the windows 10 built in protection now and nothing else. Its getting better also. Keeps finding my secret stash of infected files.

    I want the AV to do nothing but detect dodgy files, I want the AV to stop unwanted in/out data transfer and nothing else.

    They just got bloated and added protection for things that i did nto need and the install size and resources just increased also.

    I have an old AVG install file its 6MB... last time i remember downloading AVG it was over 100MB.
