Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.11
PHP version: 5.3.8
MySQL version: 5.1.68-cll
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Admin Tools version: (2.5.5)

Description of my issue:
Using a Joomla extension called Perfect AJAX Popup Contact Form (latest version). I assigned this to a module position. I then use NoNumbers Modules Anywhere to assign to an article on the front page of the website. Prior to installing AdminToolsPro this worked flawlessly. After installing AdminToolsPro it now produces a 403 Access Forbidden error when the form is submitted.

Added modules/mod_pwebcontact to the Allow Direct Access to these files under .htaccess maker and still have the same issue.

This issue appears on another unrelated website that I manage - AdminToolsPro installed and error message appears upon submitting the form. On a third website that has the same form setup without AdminToolsPro the form submissions works perfectly.

You added a directory to the "Allow Direct Access to these files" setting, that's why it's not working. You either need to supply it with the file being accessed or add that to the "Allow direct access to these directories (including .php files)".

Yes I just caught that after reading information about Perfect AJAX Popup Contact Form and AdminToolsPro on the PerfectWeb site (they have a specific section in their FAQs addressing this).

Applied the correct changes and it is now working.

Thanks for the fast response Nicholas.
