Malwarebytes 1.46 fresh UAC prompt

[thespiraleffect]

I have fresh installs of v. 1.46 on both of my Windows 7 machines. I didn't have any older versions ever installed. They are both pro and they are both set for protection mode. On every startup and every time I attempt to fun the program, I get a UAC prompt.

I have set the exe to run as an administrator on all accounts on both machines. The icon still has the shield and I still get the UAC prompt every time.

I have not tried the .reg fix because in the topic it says it was for 1.41 and it was supposed to be fixed in 1.42.

Any ideas? I'd rather not have to turn UAC off.

Setting the exe to run as admin on all user accounts is the problem. mbamgui.exe should not run with administrative privileges so you shouldn't get UAC prompts. mbam.exe requires and will automatically request administrative privileges so if you try to open the scanner you should see a UAC prompt.
