    The plugin container item for Firefox has the same generic icon in my HMPA install.

    I actually suggested that twice in this thread tho.

    BTW, does HMPA block heap feng shui attack too?

    I have RC 143 installed on Win8.1 Pro x64 and the only problem I'm seeing so far is that the blue or green highlight box remains on screen and over other windows, even when the app it "belongs to" is minimized or in the background. I've seen this happen with Directory Opus 11.10 x64 and WebSite-Watcher 14.3.

    So are you saying that hypothetically I could activate my one licence on two different live test PCs which are running alongside each other on my home network and they will both fully work for however long or until I next re-image, which could be days/weeks/monthso_O

    How do you decide which template to assign for a program if it's not obvious?

    E.G. I assigned Spotify to the media template and then it refused to run with an alert appearing on program startup!

    As far as I can tell, they're not templates but rather simple categories for organizing the applications in the interface. I had to compare some applications in various categories to arrive at this conclusion. I'm not sure, but that's how I interpreted it.

    Spotify is a nasty application. It is performing an actual ROP. It is not an issue of Alert, it detects the ROP as it should.

    Hawki in the taskmanager is explorer.exe under the processes tab running?

    If not, try selecting 'file' then 'new task' and typing explorer.exe then press ok.

    Damn I just lost a long reply to siketa. Thank you siketa and stapp for trying to help me, I showed perhaps a much too large degree of kindness, grace, and mercy to Hit Man Pro by deleting my post. But will still uninstall it from my system despite my having purchased a license. Wow, Hit Man Pro did more damage to my system than the Malware.

    Yes, task manager was working.

    But what happened is that after an hour or so, the usual start screen appeared. I was able to access Change Settings and I was able to do a Successful System Restore (almost-I still have that search engine hi-jacker-how is that possible??)

    Damn, I had planned on going to sleep early tonigh for a change :)

    At this point in time I could not possibly have a lower opinion of Hit Man Pro. It's dangerous.

    ZAM can create a restore point prior to the cleaning.
    I'm not sure if HP does it but maybe they should consider this feature....

    1. This is the HitmanPro.Alert thread. Questions related HitmanPro should be posted in the corresponding thread.

    2. Restore point has been in HitmanPro since 2009.

    Are you having an issue with HitmanPro or HitmanPro.Alert?

    What kind of issue? I cannot find any post of you here at Wilders having an issue with HitmanPro or HitmanPro.Alert.

    I am currently running 1 one PC license on two machines (main machine a testing machine), but I suppose I won't be able to re-image one of them might it be necessary.

    Thanks, "generic" was the word I needed. Thanks ~ I setup a friend with Alert and found the same generic Icon. So, all sorted. Thanks

    Will the keyboard encryption feature be made to work with Explorer at some point?

    The Keystroke Encryption is assigned to Browsers and Other template.

    Thank you. That isn't anywhere near obvious or intuitive.

    Alert auto-updated correctly to 143 here, however on the machine with DefenseWall, it was still build 141 after reboot. Turns out DefenseWall runs the update as Untrusted, after manually running as Trusted it succesfully updated. Does the update launch through the browser or something that causes DefenseWall to make it Untrusted?

    So should I simply not assign any template to Spotify & leave it as unprotected?

    Might also consider another music service like Rhapsody.

    Erik,

    I've just had some ROP alerts with both Firefox and IE11 when visiting secunia.com, then clicking on the Consumer Products > PSI link. Firefox closes when I close the alert however IE11 says it will close but after I close the alert IE11 stays open. and I can view the page as normal.

    I don't know if it is a false positive or not but I thought I would mention to you.

    Here's the details.

    Code:

    Since I've installed b143 Microsoft Outlook 2013 has been refusing to send/receive e-mail!
    I get the error:
    'Your server does not support the connection encryption type you have specified. Try changing the encryption method. Contact your mail server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for additional assistance.'

    If I then remove Outlook from HMPA altogether, it works perfectly.

    I don't really want to leave it as unprotected, but not sure how to protect it.
    I've tried protecting it & then unticking all the code & memory mitigations boxes, but I still get the same server errors.
