Yes and no.

You can download Malwarebytes from their website and install it. For 
the first 14 days you get to trail all the "Premium" features 
(background real-time checking / blocking, scheduled scans, etc.). 
After the 14 day trial period expires, the "Premium" features get 
locked, but you can still continue use the app as a free malware 
checker and remover, including updating the definitions, but you have 
to manually run it instead of it running in the background.
