    The Webcam Notifier works at the driver level. If a stream is started, the Alert driver detects this and validates wether the application is allowed to have access to the webcam. So it doesnt matter what kind of libraries they use. It should me detectable when the webcam is turned on.

    Is the new version of Prey digitally signed (authenticode)?

    No because Alert 3 and HitmanPro use the same key/license file. You get both products for the price of one. The above deal applies to the purchase of a key. Once activated you can use both products. Basically you get one product for free.

    Hope this helps.

    Ok Thanks. I will try to buy this in the next 2 days. I would activate once HMA is released. Till then i will use CTP version..

    Also, the strange thing is price in US$ (37.95 * 61 = ~2300) is cheaper than on Indian Rs (~2500). Though it is just 200 Rs change. I was expecting Indian price would be much cheaper compared to US..

    Don't forget the currency conversion charges:p IMHO for HMP+HMPA it's still a steal though :D

    Yeah i agree its still a great deal. Getting 2 yr for 3 PC :D
    However i just little greedy :) to see if i get a lower price, as it is a norm where the prices would be tad lower to US..
    If not, no problems, will buy it.

    Yea it definitely did not pop up when I ran the report. The exe is digitally signed to Prey SpA Thru StartCom

    @erikloman Apparently however the installers are not authenticode signed

    Just as a side-note, there're 2 input methods in Japanese IME.
    Make sure to choose ローマ字入力(use alphabet for input), probably it's default but if somehow かな入力 (for Japanese keybord input) was selected, you can't get correct result.

    Well, I want to test HMPA before that, as I'm more interested in its exploit protection.
    But it seems you'll publish RC soon, so better to wait it?

    after the license period is up will HitmanPro.Alert stop working or is it just a case of missing on the latest version ? Since I assume HitmanPro.Alert does not rely on signature updates.

    A couple questions as I'm considering buying the Black Friday deal : 1. what av's does HMP use for it's cloud & behavior scanning these days? I think the av's change up from time to time. 2. what all does a 2 year license for HMP get me? The HMP scanner alone or also other products? Or are the other products already free?

    thanks

    1. HitmanPro uses forensic scanning and uses Bitdefender and Kaspersky in the cloud.
    2. The license grants you to use both HitmanPro and HitmanPro.Alert 3 (hence, one product for free).

    Hope this helps.

    I bought a three year licence on 2014-9-28. I am thinking of buying the black friday offer for two years, so when I am using this lincence on 2017-9-28 I have two more years to go!?
    But maybe I have already left the earth in three years, or Windows loses a battle, or.....:(

    I am new to HMPA v3 Beta, tried several times unsuccessfully to install latest Build 92 CTP 4.

    It appeared fine initially after installed, could see the GUI, running scan etc.

    After closing & re-opening the application, it was gone & went back to the installer.

    Thank you.

    Did you have version 2 of HMPA installed prior to the install of v3?

    Yes, I was using V2 before that.

    Before installing HMPA V3, already did a proper clean up (uninstall, registry clean up).

    In between the failed attempts of installing HMPA V3, also did clean up in safe mode (registry clean up, items related to HMPA in windows\system32\drivers etc)

    Thanks, great, have just purchased it! Bedankt. Have to look into the HitmanPro Alert, did download and install it but have no clue how to use it eventhough I opened it and read the options.

    About the only decision you need to make is whether to run the basic or advanced GUI. It will pick up the basic programs, and once you are comfortable with that ask, and we can tell you how to add other apps.
