HitmanPro.ALERT Support and Discussion Thread

I read about it here: http://www.ghacks.net/2015/09/14/cy...phished-hacked-or-malicious-sites-in-firefox/ . After installing the addon mentioned there, Firefox automatically opens a page that led me to download Hitman Pro.Alert. Also, after rebooting my computer just now, I am no longer receiving the intruder detected warning in Firefox. The only thing I did other than a bunch of scans in various protection programs was install and run Microsoft's September 2015 malicious software removal program.

 

That doesn't have any connection to SurfRight though.

 

Okay, now I feel stupid lol. I wonder why the page opened up then.

 

Don't feel too bad. At least you've found HMP.A now.

Good question!

 

I guess this one?

 

Yes, that is the one.

 

Hi I think I have a new issue with HMPA,

as I mentioned in my post #6911 I use HMPA now on a new PC which was set up new from scratch. A few days before setting up the new machine F-Secure released their new version of their Internet Security. So when I installed FSIS on that machine I automatically got the new 2016 release. (Users who still the have the 2015 version installed will be upgraded to the new version time after time) Since that point of time I have issues with downloading (installer) files from the internet as you can see from this thread in the F-Secure support forum

https://community.f-secure.com/t5/Security/F-Secure-2016-blocks-downloads/td-p/74594.

I believe that there is a conflict between the 'Do not allow applications to download harmful files' (in the firewall section of FSIS 2016) and HitmanPro Alert. The downloads work when either the option in FSIS is disabled or HMPA (Beta build 316) is completely disabled (for testing I did not uninstall it but only stopped the service hmpalertsvc). Reducing the protection for my browsers step by step didn't help. I didn't have any issues on my old machine with FSIS 2015 and HMPA (Build 196). The OS was Win 7 Home Premium x64 before.

It might be a stop-gap for the Norton Toolbar not working in FF41.0.x?

 

Yeah, I tried it. It's advert for cyscon imo. Note the EULA...cyscon and patugo reserves the right to charge fees.

No, it does not intefere with any plugin. It works totally independend.

It's free for end customers and it will be free forever. The feauture set can be found here:

We charge website owners, if they sign-up with our services, not the user of the plugin.

 

@cyscon, firstly, welcome and thanks. Secondly, please see the definition of a stop-gap.

 

Oh sorry, I dismissed it. @Krusty13, thanks for the welcome!
To reply to this statement: Yes, it could be a stop-gap, but we see it more as an addition to any other security addons, as we cover a bit different approaches.

Hmm, I did not read the delineation. Thanks for contributing.
Moving to cyscon Topic now. Thanks Peter2150

 

Have these bugs been fixed?

Is this compatible with RollbackRx Professional and F-Secure Freedome?

Has ESET whitelisted the product?

Has the keystroke scrambling (when encryption is enabled you type one thing, but other letters appear in a browser) been fixed?

Also, were all of the very frequent DEP errors with Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer fixed?

 

Why don't you give the latest version a try? http://www.surfright.nl/en/downloads/

 

Is there a link to a privacy policy or how you guys handle user data? I looked through the main webpage but I cant seem to find it.

 

This is covered in the EULA, which is also available here: http://www.surfright.nl/en/terms

I'm using F-Secure Freedome right now with HMPA. I can't comment on the other apps and issues you mentioned. You didn't mention which version of HMPA you were using before. There have been numerous fixes over time and I would suggest you try the latest version.

 

Upgraded smoothly from build .316 here, and only thing of note was that ESET gave another FP on hmpnet.sys (haven't seen recently) despite HMP.A being excluded as much as I've tried....otherwise now build .318 itself seems fine so far.

 

No problems updating build 318 beta (from build 316 beta). Firefox 41.0.1, IE11 and Edge: they all show a green border and a fly out.

(W10 build 10240 64 bits/Norton Security with Backup v22.5.2.15)

 

No problem on Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit.
