Windows Firewall Control -> downhill

This is slightly messed up behavior:My firewall control app, i have it blocked tho.
Have updates unchecked, still tryin to update itself smh… (had to find out about it through Event Viewer)
I’m surprised it just didnt go around the rule I used to block itself…
So I checked the latest Changelog

– Fixed: Checking for updates is made through http instead of https.

Version 6.x is out (up from 5.4.1) – But no mention of disobeying the update checkbox….
The company Binisoft does good work, and was recently taken over by Malwarebytes, and that change is supposed to ease our mind so we can prove its not communicating back home to the mothership nefariously over HTTPS….

Then theres this:

That is weird. Like wtf changed so much that i gotta remove it entirely, cant just update?
Possibly just the EULA? The installation folder changed as well to include MalwareBytes in the name (and the service name too)
I’m sketched out they’re gonna ruin this program for me… it was great and I recommended it all the time. Going to reserve my judgment for later, but things are going downhill though.
