    SAM is disabled on my other two machines for now.

    I even get a CredGuard error when I open the Windows 10 task manager, if SAM is enabled...

    Am I wrong in thinking that default OS components should be whitelisted out of the box?

    Yep. Creditguard blocks that SAM file from everything.

    The problem with whitelisting OS components is that it doesn't actually help as most attacks initiated from whitelisted binaries, including ransomware. Whitelisting is dead.

    Oh, bummer. What's the alternative?

    How can I enable SAM, yet don't get any errors when opening the task manager?

    Is the Task Manager throwing errors when you open it? That's not SAM related.

    Yeah, it sounds like every one can just chuck their hardware :eek:.

    But I've also read that one needs physical access to the computer, like via a USB.

    Most of the mentioned vulnerabilities are AV:L (Attack Vector: Local),
    but CVE-2017-5712 is AV:N (Attack Vector: Network), and Intel writes: "allows attacker with remote Admin access to the system to execute arbitrary code with AMT execution privilege."

    Yes. I thought I saw the text SAM in the report.

    Will try to reproduce this and post the exact message.

    Wat are you doing specifically with the Task Manager before this alert appears? I can't reproduce.

    Nothing at all... I only pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del to open it.

    Is it possible that my antivirus software (Emsisoft Anti-Malware) interferes?

    Hi Mark,

    Can you provide a more specific timeframe for the automatic update to build 723 for users running build 604?

    Build 723 is offered now, to users running build 604.
    Offered on my two Windows 7 systems.
    Also see plat1098's post in the HitmanPro.Alert (non beta) thread.

    Hi Stupendous Man,

    Thanks for your input. I am aware that build 723 is already available to users running build 604. However, since this is the second Release Candidate and the automatic upgrade timeframe was short, I decided to wait for the general rollout.

    What I meant was that the general rollout with automatically updating build 604 to 723 has started.

    Oh, OK, sorry for misunderstanding. I attempted a right click "Check for update" and nothing happened, hence my post. However, I just tried it again, and it prompted me for the update. Go figure.

    Yes, that is something I've seen before.
    Perhaps there is some limitation build in the auto update mechanism, to ease the update servers.

    @markloman,
    November 15, you wrote,
    To which I asked,
    Now that 604 is auto updated to 723 for all users, this is even more relevant to know.

    Just test it. No harm done if it fails.
