Just stop the autorun, you only need it to actually run when you're scanning dude. I use malwarebytes and superantispyware, but they never run unless I'm doing my monthly scan...

Uninstall it

You don't really need an Antivirus anymore as windows firewall + defender is good enough 

Just don't download from sketchy sites and make frequent backups of your files 

Ikr, why do people still click on random links and ads

 

Even if you get a virus once in a blue moon, learn to remove it manually

Leave a like if you breathed oxygen today

There are muuuuuuuch more to it than that. 

Recently yahoo was promoting ads (beyond your control unless you have adblock) that had embedded malware.

 

Malware bytes is more than just removing malware. It's marketed as zero day protection. You can't be protected through microsoft's solutions in the event of a zero day case. 

 

 

To OP:

Disable the notifications.

Malwarebytes is legit. Don't know why people are telling you to uninstall it.
But yeah just turn the notifications off.
