Monkrus - Adobe Acrobat Pro DC always closes/crashes asking for license

I downloaded and installed from the trusted links. Ran autoplay.exe. Blocked ALL related "adobe" processes in my firewall. I use Kaspersky Total Security. For a day, all was fine. But on day 2, today, it's begun to not work at all. I launch Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, and within 2-3 seconds, 2-3 windows popup so fast I cannot read what they are, and they kill the main Adobe process so Adobe Acrobat Pro DC crashes/closes almost immediately too

If I hadn't blocked all detected adobe processes in my firewall, I'd understand, but since I did, I don'"t understand what's going on. Can someone please help me?

The issue is straightforward: your firewall settings have been too restrictive.

Blocking all Adobe-related processes is unnecessary and can cause significant problems.

It’s likely that either your antivirus has interfered with the prepatched files, which the old WhiteDeath crack (albeit called differently now, but still the same old method used) applied after Acrobat installation.

Or manual intervention is required to properly patch them yourself using the old crack method provided.

Otherwise, your antivirus may have quarantined a prepatched Adobe file, which now needs to be excluded.

Additionally, Monkrus renames Adobe crash reporter files by adding a .bak extension.

- Spyware modules Log Transport Application, CRLog Transport Application and Adobe Crash Processor have been disabled.

While he labels these files as spyware, they are actually just crash reporting modules, and as a result, crash reports provide no feedback to help diagnose issues.
