Now that I expressed my frustration towards this poor practice, I would constructively recommend that you add an option for users to disable if they do not wish to be notified about 'special deals' and 'sale, buy now before it runs out'. Now I cannot distinguish anymore Malwarebytes from these scammy websites, because the popups are just as annoying, just as frequent, and just as intrusive. Most people I instantly convert to malwarebytes are people who had been affected by all sorts of adware and spamware, and they were getting these exact annoying popups on their machines, from all sorts of scammy websites. You already get less features using the free version, and further annoying your users to try and get more money isn't the way forward for me, and I am seriously considering to stop using it, and stop recommending it to anyone, for this reason alone.
I understand that it is a free application and the revenue for the continuance of service comes from paying customers (I was one of them before my lifetime license got invalidated for some reason, and now there's only yearly subscriptions). I do not need the premium features at the moment, and I find it extremely annoying to have to continuously close annoying popups from Malwarebytes trying to sell me something which I don't need. I get at least one pop-up a day telling me to upgrade to Malwarebytes premium, there's 20% off, there's summer sale, there's this, there's that. Lately Malwarebytes has become increasingly more pushy in annoying me to upgrade.
