    Are you running build 357?

    I have set the hmpalert service to manual and the value data sticks to 0xff.
    Simply starting the service immedately switches the data to 0x00, which means all IPv6 components are enabled.

    manually? nothing.

    The block doesnt make sense because the updater doesnt show up as protected.

    If it helps I have discovered if I check for updates from inside acrobat, it works fine.
    If I launch the updater from explorer it then is blocked by HMPA.

    All of my Acrobat updates are from within Acrobat, which is protected.

    Probably related to this:
    @erikloman
    What's the reason for the following change? Did you see some incompatibility issues? Also what does passive mode actually make different from active mode?

    Did I mention, that I'm running twelve machines, (members of a WIN2012R2 domain) without any issue, for months now?

    The key seems to be, not to tamper the settings of HMP.A and not to fiddle with windows....

    I would look in task manager when you check for updates from the Reader "Help/Check For Updates" menu to see if the same EXE is started. I'm running the new Adobe Reader DC and there is no acrobatupdater.exe file.

    HitmanPro.Alert 3 kills my Win7.
    Today I downloaded the newest version of HitmanPro.Alert 3 and installed it on by Win7 Computer. The result was that nearly all programs stopped working. Even Eplorer crashed all the time. I started it again and it crashed again. So it was impossible to use the system any more.
    Fortunately the explorer crashes took place after a few seconds after restarting it. So after some tries I managed to deinstall HitmanPro.Alert 3. Now my Win7 is working again.
    In parallel I am using Bitdefender Internet Security. Is it possible that both pieces of software on one Win7 installation cause this bad behaviour?

    One sure fire way to find out.

    1. Image your system
    2. Uninstall Bitdefender and see what happens.

    Erik and Mark,

    I've just had Alert crash while watching Youtube videos in Chrome.
    HMP.A Crash.PNG

    Can I get a log for you?

    Edit: @erikloman , I've sent you a PM with what I've found in Event Viewer.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    same here on Win10.

    did a small test:

    - initial value is 8e
    - i changed it to FF
    - i reboot
    - value went back to 8e

    if because of this:

    that should be an option and not forced. i dont have an IPv6 modem/router, so i disabled all IPv6 settings on my system to avoid this:

    "Tunneled traffic can't be seen by IPv4 hardware firewalls and all such traffic will be allowed to pass unhindered."

    if you have a registry tweak to allow me to unallow HMPA to restore the value , i would gladly use it.

    Good job Erik. But a little smarts and the whole thing would fail anyway. Namely don't open attachments and don't let macro's run.

    HMP.A found 288 files to delete on my wife's PC (first use). :eek:

    They all have the "Delete" option pre-selected. But suppose that we go ahead with that and then something breaks on her computer (logins lost, etc.). Are the deleted items placed in a quarantine file, and how do we bring them back if necessary? I don't see anything in the HMP.A interface that addresses functionality for undoing what HMP.A did.

    Switch Delete to Quarantine for each file in the Scan results list.

    Use the drop-down menu on each line item (down arrow) to change from Delete to Quarantine.

    There are two products installed with HitmanPro.Alert:

    HitmanPro - companion anti-virus scanner
    HitmanPro.Alert - anti-exploit

    You posted in HitmanPro.Alert thread - but that's OK.

    For future reference, post HitmanPro questions on its dedicated subforum here at Wilders.

    Just search for HitmanPro and you will find it.

    You can restore an item from Quarantine - if need be - by Settings > History > Quarantine > click on item in list > Restore.

    If you Delete any files they cannot practicably be recovered without use of a deleted file recovery utility - and even that might not work or the recovered file could be corrupted\non-functional.

    Hi,

    Sorry about that. We are using HMP.A and I was reporting based on what we saw from there.

    When I click on Settings in HMP.A, there is no option for "History" or "Quarantine" in either the Standard or the Advanced interface.

    I do know that HitmanPro is part of HMP.A, but there is no separate entry in the Start Menu for HMP, only for HMP.A. Not sure how else I might access HMP, other than through HMP.A.

    I've been hacked, I have been hit by a Ransom attack.

    My files are encrypted. I have lost everything (my email address, my hitmanpro alert 1 year key)

    damn :(

    The HMP.A\HMP developer himself - @erikloman - has requested that you export the Scan results log land upload it here...

    Look 2 posts back.

    Don't get me wrong Erik. I am might glad to have it. All it takes is being very tired, and a finger twitch on the mouse when hovering a link, and bingo you have a test of your software protection.

    That's too bad... should have had HMP.A installed and activated.
