HitmanPro.ALERT Support and Discussion Thread

Windows XP/SP3. I could not reproduce this with Vista or Win7.

Al

 

I got this after installing DNSSEC Validator from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dnssec-validator/ and restarting Mozilla Firefox.

And about my previous post for ZScaler SES, I noticed the "Zscaler SES On" sign appears of a split second when searching on google but disappears just after that. If I disable HMPAlert, the addon works just fine.

 

Hi

If HitmanPro.Alert does not show a Flyout for your browser, then please let us know so we can add support for it.

Can you check it with the Browser Iron

http://www.srware.net/software_srware_iron.php

 

Will add support for it.

 

Thank you very much Erik

 

They indeed don't have specific MitB protection, but with OA's HIPS and EAM's BB set to paranoid I think you'll be pretty secure, though you'll get quite a few pop-ups from them. It depends on your preferences if you want to use it.

 

Hello!
erikloman thanks for the good products!

1. Does your program analyze HTTP-traffic before browsers or its analyze browser's cache? Or another? JavaScripts are putting to the browser's cache only after their activity.

2. Please make test URL for checking your program that it works rightly!

 

Hey I got that same alert. I only got it once though. I ran a few scans to determine if I had any infection or redirect. Didn't find anything. I assumed it was just a FP.

 

Found and solved this problem! Thanks. A new Beta is scheduled to be released tomorrow.

 

1. HitmanPro.Alert does not analyze HTTP-traffic, nor does it analyze browser cache. It just inspects whether malware has infiltrated the browser.

2. You mean a self-test?

 

1. Does it protects, prevents threats from malware or alerts only? And does it ... from malwareJavaScripts (when trojan has JS extension)?
2. Yes. Link to the web-page with info: Congradulations! You are protected by HitmanPro.Alert or not or it's not working properly.

 

1. No. It alerts (which can be seen as protection so that you don't enter sensitive information in the browser).

2. If you get the Flyout then it is working.

 

These hooks are from Avast. They do not belong to AppGuard. Fixed in next Beta.

Uninstalled old version and installed Beta 2. No problems so far. Flyout screen working properly & scan working properly. Will report back with any issues.

 

Beta 2 now working in standard user account

Seems to be compatible with WSA's identity shield as well, which is nice. Unfortunately CPU usage with Chrome is still high - up to 10% on my PC. With Opera it's down to to 2% constantly. Any prospect of an improvement in the next release Erik?

  eric thanks for the pm,
  Confirmed, AdMuncher problem fixed
  
  
  CPU usage with Chrome jumps between 2% to 11% here (yes I'm using Chrome) with Opera I believe it was lower.

 

Re: Beta 2 released

Uninstalled, installed and running smoothly here. I am noticing ~1% CPU usage for opera and less than that in firefox. Yesterday while watching some youtube videos in FF 12, flash plugin (11.3.300.250) crashed and when I reloaded the page I saw the flyout reappear again, so I reckon the hmpalert process was restarted. However this happened one time only so I am not sure if I can reproduce that.

 

I use Waterfox a 64 bit Firefox based browser with Sandboxie but it doesn't show the fly out. It doesn't matter if the browser is sandboxed or not.

Coolnovo (Chrome based) shows the fly out sandboxed.
IE 32 bit also works
IE 64 bit doesn't show the fly out sandboxed or not doesn't matter

With my email program Postbox (not sandboxed it works great)

I am using the latest version of HitmanPro.Alert 1.0.1.0 Beta 2

 

Beta 2 seems to be working great. At first, I couldn't find HMP.Alert in Add/Remove Software as it wasn't listed as HMP.Alert, but as Uninstall HMP.Alert.

 

The new installer looks great!
And it works great in IE 9.

But Erik, you haven't answerd my mail (from: maartenpeters (at) hotmail.nl.) ~ Email De-linked ~
Why?

 

But posting your email adres is less great

 

You are right, sorry!

 

I have not received a message from you. Checked the spam firewall as well. Did not receive anything. Can you send it again or send met a PM ?
EDIT: After a second look it indeed was stuck in the spam firewall due to the attachment. I've sent you a reply.

 

Last week I was only 3 days in the office so I did not had much time to focus on the CPU load for Chrome. We did discuss on how to lower it and I think we can lower it. Just need to find the time to implement the required changes. Keep an eye on the next builds.

Thanks for testing!
