Malwarebytes 3.3 Released: What’s New

Malwarebytes version 3.3 has been released today. This version seems to fix many issues, especially problems where real-time protection turns off automatically, as well as the issue of Malwarebytes Tray Application appearing on the Alt + tab screen. And the notification design looks great in this version.
