HitmanPro.ALERT Support and Discussion Thread

Yeah, I had to pull 181.exe from site to satisfy AppGuard Install Protection Level. HMP.A 180 internal updater hit a glitch getting around AppGuard Install Level that reverts to Medium upon restart....
Does that make sense...

 

Does auto-update work?

HMPA is on build 180, reports an update is available that will be installed after reboot, but after reboot the build number is still 180.

 

I don't even get an update-report. Where should I see this?

 

In build 181 I still need to Turn off Load Library mitigation to get Avant Browser started. OK?

 

Yes, the updater is probably still doing some stuff after reboot when AppGuard kicks in. I found that when you install a program that needs a reboot, it's best to uncheck the Re-enable button in AppGuard to avoid problems.

 

Thanks ~~ not to go off Topic....but, where is this Re-enable button in AppGuard 4.2.8.1. I've got suspension timeout at 1440...that does not seem to survive restart.

 

In build 181 I turned off Load Library mitigation to get MPC-HC running.

 

Hi Mark & Erik.

With XP (EMET 4.1U1) the table (Exploit Protection Comparison):

http://www.surfright.nl/en/alert

is incorrect:

 

I have WSA and MBAE, when I installed HPA chrome browser doesn't work, it's like there were no internet connection.
So there must be some incompatibility.
Win 8.1 x64

 

I installed version 2.6.5.77 on hundreds of customer computers for cryptoguard protection.
I am a reseller and will now sell them HMPA 3, but I have a few questions

So is version 2.6.5.77 obsolete now?
Will they get automatic update to version 3?
Will they get a pop up offer to purchase version 3?
Do you have to uninstall version 2.6.5.77 before installing version 3?

Thanks

 

I'll reply in the AppGuard thread.

 

Aha, I found the check box ~ Thanks!

 

Alert 2 is obsolete. For new installs you should install Alert 3.

Alert 2 does not cover recent crypto-ransomware families.

In a few weeks Alert 2 users will be automatically updated to Alert 3. No firm date yet. Keep an eye on this thread where we will announce the upgrade.

You do not have to uninstall Alert 2. Alert 3 supports upgrade from version 2.

Alert 3 will display a reminder that not all features are active. If the user decides to not apply a license, Alert will run in Free mode where only the free features are active.

Looks like the wrong mitigation is triggered in the exploit tester. We'll update the testers.

 

Does the hmpalert uninstall tool labeled to remove v2 #1692 satisfy v3

 

Erik,

The default fly-out and keystroke encryption coloured border must only be for new installations, correct? those settings remained as they have been prior to build 181 on my machines.

Never mind, I read your "Note".
The update after reboot went smoothly here.

 

Upgrade to build 181 went smooth on two machines, but on the third machine I lost my keyboard and could not login, after reboot.

Uninstall and new install didn't fix this issue.

I'will look in this tomorrow.

 

HMP:A added MPC-HC x64 automatically but I haven't had any problems.

Though I'm running 8.1 64bits and had various HMP:A builds installed without any issues

 

Devs.. need any other detail? or is going to be ignore for not being very relevant?

 

Fwiw ~ I have 181 on W8.1 x64 ~ Chrome41 opens okay. Anything in Event Viewer re opening Chrome
R U running build 181

 

Thanks, I know but, this issue is related either with MBAE (again) or with WSA, because isn't the first time it has happened.

 

Do you really need both MBAE and HMP.A?

 

@erikloman ,

I just had a Shellcode alert in Firefox. I will send you a PM with the details.

 

I got no auto update notice from 180 to 181 am I missing something?

 

wish I took a screen shot for ya'
180 UI under settings gear notifies Update is available ~ It will be installed on reboot
181 is available download on surfright
