Here is a look at the new Malwarebytes 5.0 interface.

The dashboard focuses on the three widgets Security, Online Privacy, and Trusted Advisor. Security offers quick access to the malware scanner, the detection history, and real-time protection.

Open Settings > Protection, or click on the three dots next to Real-time Protection in Home to open them. There you may disable and customize protections.
