    This happened in my vacation. There has been a hick-up in the cloud. The issue was addressed by my colleagues. Thank you for posting :thumb:

    These entries are shown during EWS only. I've whitelisted these in the cloud.

    It is highly recommended to let HitmanPro scan with enough rights (administrator rights). Running with less rights affects detection and cleaning capabilities.

    @erikloman , I'm seeing this on manually initiated scans too. Scheduled scans appear to complete as normal.

    I understand that removal may need admin rights, but I'm only interested in the scan results. Under what circumstances would scanning need admin? If it did, would that not result in an error during the scanning process?

    HitmanPro uses a driver to scan the hard drive sector by sector. If you do not have administrator privileges it cannot install the driver (temporarily) and perform this deep scan to reveal rootkits.

    If it can't install the driver (hitmanpro36.sys?), shouldn't I get an error? Can you suggest a test I could try where the scan would fail?

    HitmanPro will automatically scan the computer without the driver (= do not bother user).

    That's good to know and somewhat disappointing, but I guess it's better than no scan at all. Would be nice if HMP did not have this restriction for doing a full scan as compared with other AV/Malware scanners. BTW, I sent you an e-mail regarding the other HMP problem I'm having with Win8.

    @erikloman :
    Could you have a look at my earlier question ?
    I see the same report on svchost.exe after every scan.

    Does the beta not replace the released version?

    Manual scan completed successfully without hanging.

    Under a bushel ...
    After downloading 245 install file, and executing this I see the Beta 245 version - and it runs fine.
    However, when executing again from my normal shortcut(s) it reverts to 242 version - why is this? Does the beta not replace the stable version?
