I get a pop up on my iMac related to my Malwarebytes.

I get a pop up on my iMac saying “let’s tidy up your security settings”, related to my Malwarebytes. Is this real or a scam. It suggests to do a scan and turn on App block and Malware protection.

I'd turn off Malwarebytes and see if it keeps happening. While I have nothing against the free version of Malwarebytes and use it on occasion, I also don't see any reason to have it permanently installed.
