HitmanPro.ALERT Support and Discussion Thread

Can't confirm.

Automatic update worked well on 12 machines, that where updated to build340, the latest official release.

Builds higher than 340 are either beta, or pre-releases, so is build 351, a pre-release.

 

Hi,

hmpalert3b350 = disabled my wired keyboard unless I disabled anti-keylogger. Didn't put it thru much other work, but seemed good.
Uninstalled hmpalert3b350, and HMP. Installed HMP.A 3.1.1 build 351 & HMP - trouble w/ keyboard is gone.

HMPA seems to be working great, light on my system.

Thanks!!

 

Hi all! My question may get lost in the TGIF abyss, if so I'll just ask again Monday.
I've googled around and searched wilders, but I'm unclear how/if Shadow Defender plays with HMPA. I see some in this thread use SD. Care to share experience?

I knock on wood as I write this, but HMPA works awesome for me - I am a huge fan, and it's really been all I've used for months now, since finding it and this developer forum. But, of course, I've had suggestions of not enough protection, plus I see the high praise of SD.

Hoping I can get some good feedback on using them together, or not.

Thanks all - especially you Surfright/Sophos dudes!

 

no issues here with SD and HMPA

 

Thanks guest!

 

I had the same problem with the HMPA + Sandboxie combo. Would be cool if security tools could protect themselves from being injected with code from other tools.

 

Good point, didn't really think about that. But I believe there are other ways to kill malware, I'm not sure if code-injection is always needed. But I'm not even sure what is causing the HMPA + SBIE problem, I believe it's because HMPA injects code into the SBIE processes. Perhaps if HMPA would avoid this, the problem would be solved.

 

I just ran the installer for v3.1.1 Build 351, and rebooted as directed...

I still have a problem when it accesses IE, but other than that it is fine.

I don't have a problem either on my Win 8.1 x64.

HMP.A 3.1.1 build 351 with HitmanPro_x64.exe
W8.1 x86-64 Clean Install

Good grief... it just never ends.

 

@hjlbx
Your issue is with the HMP installer.
This is the HMPA thread, not the HMP support thread.

Secondly, are you sure you had the correct installer?
For HMPA there is one installer for x86 and x64, while for HMP there's separate x86 and x64 installers.

 

Just download via http://get.hitmanpro.com and you automatically get the proper version of HitmanPro.

 

For some time now, I am getting lag / interference with typing in browser Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit, FF latest stable version.
Disable Keystroke Encryption and the problem disappears.

 

@Stupendous Man - What are you talking about ?

I installed HMP.A - and not HMP.

 

@erikloman
@markloman

I installed HMP.A - and not HMP.

On my system, HitmanPro_x64.exe will not function per the alert.

 

HitmanPro_x64.exe = HitmanPro

hmpalert.exe = HMP.A

 

HMP.A installs both hmpalert.exe and HitmanPro_x64.exe.

When HitmanPro_x64.exe is installed via HMP.A the above alert appears.

I have been using HMP.A for years.

Maybe the problem is specific to build 351.

 

Er.. well, I think I did the same as Erik did, based on your attached screencapture, I concluded that you tried to install HitmanPro_x64 (64 bit) on an x86 (32 bit) system.
W8.1 x86-64 may have been confusing.
What did you mean? Windows 8.1 x86 (32 bit) or Windows 8.1 x64 (64 bit)?
What installer exactly was it that you were trying to install on what system?

EDIT
I'm sorry, I overlooked your latest post.
But anyhow, are you sure you have an x64 (64 bit) Windows 8.1 version?
If so, then the notification you got was very curious indeed.

 

x86-64 is industry standard designation for 64 bit system.

Yes. My system is 64 bit.

HMP.A 3.1.1 build 351 installer.

 

Thanks very much for that information.
If you ran the hmpalert3b351.exe installer, and then got that HitmanPro notification, that was very odd, and I guess that must've confused Erik as well.

 

any way to get HMP.A working with Google Chrome Canary? it doesn't come up as a browser option...

the stable Chrome has crapped out on this PC so i'm resorting to Canary for now.

Thanks

 

Yes. While Canary is open double click the HMP.A Systray icon to open Alert > click on the blue Mitigations tile > Running Applications > Click on Canary > Choose the Browser template > Click on the Restart link on Alert. Done
