In the SAS program there is a Alternative start option which shows up in Task Manager as a random number (such as 2855179.exe), another option (and a better one) would be to give the program a .com extension as opposed to a .exe. This tends to fool malware into thinking it's a browser type program and as most malware need the internet to 'phone home' they tend to allow the process to continue. SAS Portable Free used to have this ability but they removed it some time ago, now I think the (purchased) Technicians Portable version is the only one that uses it.

Thanks for the suggestion GuiltySpark, i'll investigate that option!

Meanwhile, while working in the next version of WRT, i found a bug in the Unattended Fix feature:

Either the "Disk Defrag" button or the "Ccleaner" button must be selected in order to the unattended fix be executed completely. If not, the process will stop after the download of the other tools you selected: it won't actually start the scanning part.

This bug is already fixed in the upcoming version of Windows Repair Toolbox, in which i'm working right now... I'm sorry if you had any inconvenience.
