McAfee Malwarebytes is maybe malware?

[HANKMARS]

I recently loaded Malwarebytes for a trial session. It now splashes a get Malwarebytes prompt on my screen about every minute. I have tried to delete its entire program but am prohibited because "folder in use" situation. How do I rid my machine of this parasitic nuisance?

To answer the Subject question, there's always been a nagging question over the years about who better to clean infections than the ones who created them.

I have a call to make tomorrow to remove McAfee from a ladies computer, she runs Trend Micro but this will be the third time some Web site she visits dumps McAfee Internet security on her computer. Or maybe her husband goes somewhere not so good.

"Folder in use" may possibly be removable by closing all programs including File Explorer, opening Task Manager and End Task on everything McAfee. Then using Settings and Apps [Programs and Features] to uninstall it. It is a persistent thing.

HANKMARS... Where did you download your install application from? I installed the program from the Malwarebytes link and had no problems! As usual.
