[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1094163, member: 99014"] I think calling the practice shady and unacceptable is a bit farfetched. I do not support and I repeat, I do not support the main UI of applications being turned into eBay market, upselling, cross selling and heavily pushing other products. And when these other products are tuneup and various snake oil, I go mad. But then again, Malwarebytes operates in a highly competitive field that is heavily dominated by a few behemoths. So if they want to “raise awareness” and increase their revenue stream, and they see that as a viable way, I understand that. The overall protection score has remained “100%” so it’s not like Malwarebytes is trying to scare you into purchasing VPN. Users are supposed to take a decision whether they really need this “stuff”.
