    Installed on top of build 604 on Win7x64 with AppGuard and Outpost Firewall, so far so good :)
    Is the realtime antimalware supposed to register as AV in Windows Action Center?

    After install, 712 is running very smooth, but it is still flagging HMP, this is getting very old really quick having to disable
    portions of HMP.A to run a scanner that is produced by the same company :/
    It shows the Detection, as seen here:
    HMP.A_SS.png
    And now we have new Event Log's that evaporate ? lol
    *Details section was just as empty :/

    Very strange, it does look like they tried to address the issue I guess ?

    Hitting the system NOW...will feed back on any negative outcomes...but I seriously doubt it given the stability of recent beta releases, at least on my system. ;)

    I'm interested in DeepArmor, I saw it on your signature.
    How can I have access to it?
    It looks like the home version requires a corporate email address to register for the beta.

    PD: I couldn't sent you a PM

    I noticed that Kaspersky (Internet Security) stops working after the latest beta version. This has also happened in the previous beta. But I'm not sure why it suddenly happened, because I was using both with no problems, then suddenly, Kaspersky stopped working (i.e. it won't load). Kaspersky would only load properly if HMP.A was uninstalled.


    Edit: I was able to load Kaspersky properly by disabling a certain "new" feature of HMP.A beta. But I disabled all new features, so I can't yet name which one. I'll test more later.

    Ditto, it stopped loading for me yesterday afternoon after an update from Kaspersky, at first i thought it was a screwed up upgrade as when it did try to load it would open multiple copies of itself but all would be stuck on loading. i went down the malware search route & found nothing. finally this morning I uninstalled HMPA and it then loaded first time. I then loaded the latest HMPA beta and it won't start again :( (Zemana also stopped working yesterday but that seems fine now).

    After installing of Build 712 i can see that the Number of Alerts are still the same and events can be seen in the Windows Event Viewer (Event-ID: 911)
    Nothing has changed :cautious:

    About WipeGuard, what malware uses modification of the VBR? About the Credential Guard, why not make it protect password files from browsers and other popular apps that are stored on disk and registry? Outpost Firewall offered this feature in the past. BTW, congrats on the deal you made with ING Bank, I read HMPA will replace Trusteer Rapport. :thumb:

    I ran the scan again and this time it produced a log that is readable:
    Here you can see that the alert count has advanced:

    It takes them a while to respond, there is quite the list for the trial.
    Sorry for the issue with PM'ing me, I have it restricted.
    This is not the DeepArmor thread so I can't explain further out of respect for Eric & Mark

    I think I found the culprit. It's DLL Hijacking mitigation found under Process Protection. Please try to uncheck it, and see whether Kaspersky opens up fine afterwards.

    This version works great on my laptop, no problems to report.
    Are there any known conflicts with Emsisoft Internet Security?

    Installed 712 over 604, the scanner downloads and installs fine seeing as I have it downloaded separately but now cannot double click on the "scan" tile to initiate the scan nor call up the separate scanner interface. You have to take the tile's word for it that's it's complete and no bad stuff was found. I am, however, dimly grateful that SecureBoot didn't need to be disabled this time (I hate doing that).

    No problems so far on Windows 7 x64. Still get heapspray alert when going to flickr.com (in Firefox but not IE).

    In my experience the HitmanPro trayicon loads during the scan and you can call up the HitmanPro UI from there if you wish. But if you want the UI generally it would make sense to install and initiate the scan from HitmanPro

    Hi Erik

    In regards to the SAM issue. It is still broken. I tested with IFW in a VM, and against Macrium on my host. Macrium failed. HMPA is still locking the SAM file and keeping VSS from getting a lock.

    Also Please see PM.

    Thanks,

    Pete

    Understood. :)

    Since it was convenient to click once on tile to start scan and then once again to look at the interface, I went back to 604. I want to see if any tracking cookies slipped under the radar. :)

    I don't see any difference in scanning. I click scan, it downloads the scanner, and I double click the new HMP Pro icon and the scanner opens

    OK, then it's something goofy on this machine as usual. I uninstalled 712, installed 604 and right away, the one-click scanning was working. Maybe it's because I have the additional HMP subscription scanner? Guess I'll wait until developers finish overhauling the anti-malware, then try again.

    After initiating the scan within HMP.A, a tray icon appears (HitmanPro). After double-clicking it, i have access to the GUI of HitmanPro ("Scanning your computer")
