Hey having this problem as well.

After scanning an external hard drive with files, 3 PUPS and 1 files with adware.

Tried to 'safely eject' with the same error as above.

Hello and Welcome @lllobs

Since you found items to Quarantine, more than likely a reboot was required, after rebooting more than likely you would be able to eject the USB drive.

Try rebooting your computer, which then will allow you to safely eject the drive.

Hi @lllobs,

Thanks for reporting the issue. This is reproducible and we have a defect filed.

As mentioned, the issue is caused by scan remediation being performed on an external drive. When this occurs, the following workarounds are available:

• Eject the drive in Explorer -> This PC (Open Windows Explorer, right-click the drive and click Eject).
• Stop Malwarebytes Service (Right-click the Malwarebytes icon in your notification area and click Quit Malwarebytes).
• Restart the computer.
