This error will come up if you have an earlier version of Malwarebytes on the system. The link we give in the Preliminary Virus and Malware Removal steps is for the free version to use while we clean. Although we give instructions on removing the cleaning tools when finished, some users leave it on the system. The problem arises when attempting to use it at some later date because that would require a purchase of the program. If you want the program permanently on your system, please visit the Malwarebytes site.
