    And more importantly, CyberHawk wants to modify Explorere exe and Winlogon
    exe. In the meanwhile PG is preventing this change. Should I allow it?

    I am not experienced! BUt its, a general rule to give full privilages to any security software on ur system unless u know very details of them and OS. bTW I never used PG and CH together, so u have to try and see. May be some other have done it.

    BTW, u have made two post on same matter. I will suggest u to make one post and wait for replies.

    This is the official reply I received from CyberHawk:

    We can't provide many specific technical details due to the proprietary nature of how Cyberhawk protects, but the basics are that in order for Cyberhawk to protect you it constantly monitors your entire system for any signs of malware behavior. It does so in an extremely intelligent way, and in ways that allow it to detect threats that other applications miss.

    Certain types of threats, such as rootkits, require our very careful examination of processes such as Winlogon and Explorer.exe. This “modification” you are seeing should be seen as a legitimate action for Cyberhawk to do in order to help track down certain types of threats like rootkits.
