I drafted this report in this topic, but I think it deserves a topic of it's own for better visibility, especially as I discovered more issues. 1.It doesn't autostart after reboot to perform post-reboot cleanup despite being logged on as admin both before and after reboot and UAC being already set to defaults since the very beginning . I was able to manually start post reboot cleanup using Autoruns tool. There I saw MBST autostart entry is in a Run key under HKCU. I don't remember exactly when and where but I read somewhere that Windows refuses to autostart programs that have admin rights flag set, especially if they try to run from HKCU. This is the case for support tool. Both downloaded executable and unpacked executable to admin user temp folder have admin rights flag set. Still reproducible with release 1.7.0. 2. If I allow Support tool to install MBAM after cleanup, it installs the very old MBAM legacy 3.5.1 for XP. I saw this even with MBST 1.6.2 and now version 1.7.0. Screenshot attached. 3. MBST doesn't actually run FRST during logs collection, it just scrapes C:\FRST\Logs and grabs what's in there. If FRST never ran or its logs were deleted, logs would be incomplete. To have full logs you have to manually download and run FRST scan with default settings before running MBST. This is either a failure of MBST to grab and run FRST or UI is misleading about Run FRST step. Still reproducible with release 1.7.0. 4. Cleanup is incomplete. Still reproducible with release 1.7.0. This has been reported by other users in other topics. Mainly I spotted these locations not being deleted: - These are created for every user account who opened Malwarebytes UI %LOCAALAPPDATA%\mbam\ %Temp%\mbam\ - Created on admin account with which credentials Malwarebytes is uninstalled %Temp%\MBAMInstallerService.exe
