Malwarebytes_Assistant popup and ask for permission

[unknownguy]

I wonder why this tool always popup when trying to disable protections in MB 5. I didn't see this before.

Sorry I have no recording or screenshot.

Edit: Reading from the program that is trying to ask for permission, this is the location: "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\Malwarebytes_Assistant.exe" --DisableX, X is anything.

update location

This UAC dialog is expected and necessary for security reasons. Disabling an RTP layer is potentially something malware might want to do, so this UAC dialog is a consequence of the additional security around this action.

Thanks for the information. I didn't see this before, but now I know why.
