    I have had MWB FREE a long time and run daily scans and hardly ever find any threats. Now I am trying a new version and the free trial has ended. Can I just continue to run daily scans? Should I?

    I am not about to buy a new version or pay for it especially if nothing ever found. Am unsure if it still works after the free trial ends.

    Since Chrome is a browser, I'm almost sure it does not say your browser will not work with a browser.
    What is giving you the message?

    I believe it is a Malwarebytes free trial. My Malwarebytes usually finds no threats and I do not want to pay for a new version and I am unsure if original still works. Is there still a free version available or an upgrade?

    There is No free upgrade. You either use the free version or you pay yearly for the paid version.

    The last version of MBAM that works on Windows 7 is v 5.5.1.240

    If you download a newer version, it will not run on Windows 7 so don't waste time downloading.

    You can't do anything. Get off the Windows 7 computer and use your cellphone for your online pharmacy.

    I guess I will have to follow this advice. Thank you. I can always refill meds by using the toll free line anyway.

    Another option if you do not want to use a cell phone is to buy an android tablet or chromebook and use the Chrome browser.
    I think a tablet would be better for you because it is like your cell phone. So there is not much to learn. There is a learning curve with a chromebook. I had to get used to not being able to put anything on the desktop.

    My husband has to use one of out chromebooks to read the local newspaper online because Windows 7 and FF is not supported.

    Bill, It's because your Windows 7 computer is no longer patched, updated or supported in any way.
    You need an upgraded computer with a newer operating system.

    Re-read post #14. If you don't want to purchase another computer, you use your phone or buy an android tablet. Otherwise, you'll have to avoid sites that no longer support Firefox on Windows 7.

    How do I find a browser that will work on my Windows 7 Dell Laptop. I get a message saying the Firefox browser is no longer supported?
    I used to use Google Chrome but for some reason switched to Firefox but cannot recall why. Now Firefox browser stopped working with my Windows 7 laptop. How can I get Google Chrome again???

    This is no longer possible.
    Solution: Get off the Windows 7 computer
