    I have all of those (or at least some of them) set to be monitored but it says they aren't. They're running processes too.

    A bug maybe? I could try in my VM real quick to see if I get the same.

    Been like this for a long time. Some of them are monitored.

    I have almost all of them set to be monitored yet rundll32 and aspell.exe are the only two actually shown to be monitored according to that.

    How did you add that exe into mamutu? Mamutu doesn't see it in system32 when i try to add it.

    Edit: nevermind I got it.

    Edit: I'm getting the same results as you.

    Hm =\

    The thing is... even Chrome isn't showing up as monitored! Nothing is except for those two programs.

    What the hell?


    Tried disabling Community based alert reduction. No change. =\

    Looks like you found a bug?? Maybe ask Emsisoft Support about it?

    I created a source ticket explaining the problem, adding the pic, and linking to this topic.

    Also sent Fabian Wosar a PM directing him to the topic.

    Mamutu is a big part of my overall system security haha I'd like to get it sorted. Hopefully it's just a UI bug.

    "Hello,

    all valid windows processes are not monitored by default to prevent crashes and incombatibility issues.

    If you have any more questions or problems, just let me know. "

    Apparently if something is whitelisted you can't monitor it? I'm asking some follow up questions.

    Hopefully there's some way to fix it. Otherwise Mamutu holds a lot less value for me.

    Wouldn't selecting 'Protect this application from process manipulations' offer some kind of (rudimentary) monitoring?

    edit;
    Then again, selecting that option (it isn't greyed out/unavailable for OS processes) would also make these processes more prone to crashes, right?
    I mean, that option means also some kind of monitoring or am I not getting it?
    Perhaps Emsisoft/Fabian Wosar can shed some light here?

    This is certainly in effect even for whitelisted applications. But it isn't even clear what it does. And I'm looking to stop specific whitelisted programs from doing specific behaviors/ I want them monitored.

    I think it was preventing other applications from manipulating it? :D

    Apparently you can still block/ allow specific processes it just won't monitor for suspicious behavior. Therefor my original plan will work I'm just much more likely to run into issues >_<

    Everything is being monitored (with the exception of trusted applications), but there's a design flaw.
    http://support.emsisoft.com/topic/5108-bug/

    If you double click each of the entries in the "Processes" window you'll see the "Monitor this application" box checked, unless you excluded it yoursef.

    Yeah, almost all of my applications are "trusted" but I'd like them monitored anyways.

    Hopefully this is resolved quickly as I'd like to start using the protect function to restrict as many applications as possible. I already have my main "attack vectors" restricted ie: Chrome, Digsby, and MiPony. Those three touch the internet the most by far out of any application on my system.
