I took up the Natwest offer on 11 May 2020.  I have just checked my Malwarebytes licence and it shows an expiry of 1 August 2022.

Mine has been extended to 1st August 2022 as well.

The software said it expired in 33 days when I installed it, now it says 88 days.

I had forgotten about this issue of the licence expiring on 1 August.  Mine had still been working okay since then, doing daily scans, including this morning.  But a few mins ago I got a pop up alerting me that Windows Defender had been activated, because my anti virus product had expired.   I couldn't initially open Malwarebytes, but managed to after a reboot.  It now seems to be active again instead of Defender, and the licence now shows expiry in 666 days.  Just thought I would mention in case anyone else has issues. A reboot may be needed.

Thanks.

Mine is the same although I did not get a pop up or need to reboot. I logged in to my online Malwarebytes account and saw the expiry date of 06/01/2024.

I initially calculated this as 520 days but then recalculated the date as American, 01/06/2024 which is 667 days.

Sadly, it's ending for everyone on 31 May 2024.

Malwarebytes have offered me 1 or 2 years full licence at an 85% discount. I am not tempted.

"This is in no way a reflection of the great product Malwarebytes offer and we would hope to partner with them again in the future. "

Hmm. Musn't grumble at a good freebie that runs its course, but this statement strikes me as rather hollow.

It's decent software which I have previously paid for, although now I've almost entirely stopped using Windows I'm not really benefitting from it much. (Yes, I know that using other operating systems doesn't make me immune to the stuff Malwarebytes prevents against - but Malwarebytes is nowhere near as useful on MacOS and unavailable for Linux).

Not written to me yet - maybe it is a batch thing

I got the email last night.

Think I will subscribe under the offer for 2 years as it's only £9 (£4.50 for one year) I've got used to the security of Malwarebytes Premium and wouldn't really want to lose it.

Is this the offer of £4.50 for 1 year or £9.00 for 2 years.

I have to say that it does sound tempting to me.
