My Malewarebytes is asking to make changes to my computer when I try to access it. Is this normal?

trying to run Malewarebytes. Double click on the icon and a window opens and asks for permission to make changes to the computer.

Hello @
 
Welcome to the Community Forum,
 
If I may @ isn't this normal for most programs to say this before installing?  "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?"
 
Please have a look at this website article so that you @ can understand more, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/when-should-i-allow-programs-to-make-changes-to-my-computer
 
 
Hope this helps!
 
 
Kind Regards,
