Hi guys, i was finally able reproduce the error.
Solution: before running ADWCleaner and JRT, right-click in MBAM icon in the notification area and select "Quit Malwarebytes".
Disabling real-time protection won't help.
I wasn't able to reproduce it before because it won't happen in a system were the trial has already expired at the time MBAM is re-installed.
Observations:
- It doesn't matter if MBAM is downloaded through WRT or through a browser;
- The error is related with the location from were WRT is executed (for instance if you execute it from C:\ or the Program Files folder, MBAM won't prevent ADWCleaner and JRT from running ), so this seems to be some protection feature from MBAM that is activated even if the real-time protection is off. Also, from what i tested so far, only ADWCleaner and JRT are affected;
- There's no need to quit MBAM if ADWCleaner and JRT aren't executed through WRT.
Once again, thank you Tim for the heads up.
