Safe Setup Computer Maintenance Account

Once your computer is setup with the Safe Setup Service, your computer will be protected from getting infected with malware & viruses. But the same method that protects the bad programs from installing on your computer(s) may also prevents the good programs from installing. I recommend 6 months or one year Maintenance programs (see Joe for details). 

In the Maintenance Account, when the User Account Control window pops up, there will be NO password window so it is safe to click on YES.

1 - Double Click on Malwarebytes logo on your desktop

2 - When the program opens Click on Blue Scan Now Button.                                                                                        

3 - The program scans your computer for Malware (fake programs that are trying to steal from you).

4 - If you get a message "Awesome, your computer is clean", you can close the program. Then scroll down for your next steps, checking for Adobe Reader updates.  

5 - If you get the screen that malware is found on your computer then click on the blue "Quarantine Selected" button. Wait & watch as the bad programs are removed. You may get a window that pops up asking you to Restart your computer. Click on the OK button. (If you do not then its a mild infection & you do not have to restart.)  

 Deactivate Malwarebytes Trial Version:

If you do not Deactivate the Trial mode then in 14 days you will start getting pop ups demanding that you pay for the program. After you deactivate you will get a message "Free" on top bar.

Stop program from running in background when you are done with your Maintenance. Right click on the blue M then left click on Quit Malwarebytes. Then click on the YES button to approve it.

Malwarebytes Lockups - If you are having problems with the new program & need to reinstall it, click here to download a special program from Malwarebytes that uninstalls the program. To reinstall the program, the installer is in the Maintenance folder on the desktop. Look for a folder that is titled "Malwarebytes". Then double click & reinstall the program. Make sure that you un-check the offer to install the Trial program.

Then look in the bottom right  by the clock & see if there are any updates that need to be installed.    

When you are done with your Maintenance please Log off the Maintenance account & then click your account enjoy your computer!

Classic Shell Start menu - After Microsoft installs a Feature Update (Service Pack) the Classic Shell start menu may need to adjust to the new version of Windows. You may get the message below with a pop window.
