    Yes would very much like it! Send it via www.wetransfer.com or other way.

    The plug-in container is being reported as a browser because it is a separate, protected process, but obviously it's not a browser.

    In the first one, use your mouse scroll wheel and you will see the rest

    I know this has been asked/discussed many times, but rather that trying to sift through all the threads for the most current info. . . is HMPA still not compatible with MBAE?

    Based on their workings I would say it's best to pick one of HPMA,MBAE, or EMET. I have the latest beta of HMPA on all 4 machines, and it's working great. I had wanted to test MBAE in parallel but they wouldn't give me a trial of the current version so I couldn't. Probably to late now.

    HMP.A is compatible with EMET and the free version doesn't have anti-exploit. Why not use both?

    I suspect, although I don't know for sure, that once they release this current beta, the old free version might just go away. This beta is a lot smoother for me then EMET, as I had to disable mitigations.

    MBAE 1.04 is indeed incompatible. Malwarebytes sent out MBAE 1.05 experimental and that version seems to be compatible again!

    Wow, how obvious is that - scroll up-down to scroll sideways?
    Now that you mention it, I think some metro stuff works that way.

    In the final version of HitmanPro.Alert 3 there will be a scroll bar of course, but for our previews we focused on the new security technologies for compatibility testing.

    Beside the compatibility issues...I would like to ask, how much sense it makes to combine tools like MBAE, HMPA and EMET with each other? They seem to work in similar ways (technical details are most clear for EMET) so will there be a benefit or is the chance higher to run into problems?

    Okay, thanks. I wasn't sure if you were aware of this minor issue, so I posted on it.

    I think most people want to use the free version of HMPA without exploit mitigation in order to check the browser for intruders / financial malware and combine it with either the free version of MBAE or EMET for exploit mitigation. Though I personally would just use HMPA with a license.

    Running Win7 x64. Today I installed HitmanPro.Alert 3 build 92 CTP4.
    Had to disable Enforce DEP on Word, Excel, PowerPoint (Office 2007) as it would block opening their files showing the attached message.
    My other security apps: Sandboxie (not involved in this case), AppGuard, ExeRadarPro, EMET 4.1 Update

    edited to reflect correct HP.A build

    I believe build 92 is the latest. You should try with that build.

    Thanks Adric, in fact I have installed exactly that build. I am amending the info in my previous post.

    With HMPA active, I've been noticing a lot of disconnects with Firefox when I'm browsing. I.e., I sometimes get multiple disconnects when I login to my MediaFIre account. Sometimes it happens when I am entering the login info and sometimes during the logon process after logging in. I don't think it is the website, because I can't reproduce this after disabling HMPA completely. I've had this happen on other websites too. This happens on Win8. I haven't tried this scenario on Win7.

    Edit: Once logged in, I can create the disconnect just by doing a refresh. Retry gets me back to the screen and then I sometimes see a green flyout for the plugin container. This seems to be related to the disconnects, but the flyout doesn't always show up.

    It does not make sense to use 2 anti-exploit apps, it will only cause problems. I would choose one of them. However, HMPA also has a free version without exploit protection, so cool for the people who choose to use MBAE or EMET.

    I think it's already clear that there is a higher incidence of problems running more than one at the same time. I've used all three (separately) and find HMPA the most compatible, plus there is the benefit of linkage with Hitman Pro for scanning.

    :) I see also no great sense in combinations of those apps. No No. Even with HMP.Alert Free the dll is injected parallel to EMET oder MBAE if people use such a combination.

    My confusion was: If it makes no sense why people always ask for compatibility? Choose one or none ;-)

    Is their anyway to prevent HMPA from injecting it's .dll into other applications? What is an easy way for me to tell if HMPA is injecting it's .dll into another process?
