    I can only conclude that some tool is clearing out the PendingFileRenameOperations key just before reboot.

    If you uninstall build 120, are the files gone from Program Files? I ask this because the uninstaller is also using the PendingFileRenameOperations key.

    Now: picture 1 is build 120 and picture 2 is build 124.

    Today I was unable to login into KeePass. Until I typed the password in Notepad and pasted it into KeePass.

    Turned out that the keystroke protection of HPA is turning my keystrokes into garbage when enabled...

    Even weirder: it incidentally happens in Firefox with keystroke protection turned off. Is my keyboard dying instead?

    UI is needlessly convoluted

    Could you list all directories and files that HitmanProAlert is using / running? Just so I can add it as exclusion to ESET and MBAM :)

    BTw, could it be that HMPA slows down the boot time? After entering my password at log on of windows 8.1 it seems to load way longer than usaually. Not a big problem for me as I mostly use "Sleep" but I wanted to report/ask this.

    @erikloman Seems that alert 124 is blocking powerpoints from opening. I am studying for final exams so I dont have time to figure out exactly what mitigation is blocking it but when I disable powepoint mitigations fixes the issue. There is NO alert it just blocks it from opening the actual file (not the program) and I get a message that my antivirus may be interfering with opening this file.

    I don't doubt that it works for you. I asked for suggestions as to how I could troubleshoot the problem on my system.

    Hi,

    Have not received any reply.

    Anyway, just to let you know that I have managed to install HMPA 3 RC 124 succesfully.

    Have a nice day!

    I didn't know for sure if HMP scan would work until I tested it on build 124 and that is
    why I posted my result. You offered no other info other than your system locked up when
    starting a HMP scan. Pretty hard to troubleshoot with so little info to work with.
    You could also PM the devs on this.

    Did you check the Windows event logs?
    Were you able to run HitmanPro as a stand-alone app without any issues?
    Did you try running a HMP scan on HMPA RC build 120 before installing build 124?

    124: Reporting in: Still massive lags on Facebook with the autovideoplayback feature there, impossible to scroll when this starts.
    Maybe not a big issue, but still...seems to add a lot of cpu stress on the browser.
    Using Slimjet browser and Panda Antivirus 2015 Pro on Win7Pro x86.

    Thanks for the followup. I did PM the dev since the problem seems unique. I did check the Windows Event Log and the only relevant entry I found was a "dirty" system shutdown. I haven't run a scan after installing a new build for quite a while. I know it worked initially but I can't say if the problem relates only to build 124.

    Regarding running HitmanPro as a standalone app, can it be installed along side HMPA?

    FWIW when I attempt a scan with HMPA HitmanPro does load - the icon appears in the notification area along with a notification saying a scan has begun, but an instance later the system is frozen. It is reproducible.

    See my signature, MBAE should be the only one providing exploit protection for browsers and Java.

    No, they are blocked from running. I'll have to troubleshoot later.

    *Noticed that java programs protected by MBAE aren't affected. Disabling Avast and LinkScanner doesn't help.

    So I installed the RC on my main machine, but seem to have hit a snag. As you can see in the first picture the green label says my Chrome browser is protected, and even now as I type the little "encrypting" bar is doing it's thing, but you can see in the safe browsing box in the RC it does not show up.

    In pic #2 chrome appears in the Exploit Mitigation section and in pic #3 none of the littel application boxes appear below the safe browsing (chrome is my only browser) or under the EM, which there are a few apps listed in pic #2

    Not sure if this is a bug, or perhaps since I have the RC installed on my virtual machine perhaps it's interfering somehow (on the VM, chrome appears in the browsing section and the little boxes appear under the EM box)

    Also one other thing I've noticed and you may have explained this so forgive in advance, but the RC dosnet see to activate within chrome while launched in sandboxie, but I believe the last version of Hitmanpro alert did, just something I've noticed

    This is caused by a broken icon handler. Wilders member Victek had the same issue in July and he managed to fix it.

    @erikloman any idea why powerpoint is being blocked by 124? Its not an alert but does not allow a actual file to open. Says your antivirus software may be interfering with powerpoint. Turning off the powerpoint mitigations fixes it.

    It seems that if I disable Stack Exec, Stack Pivot and Control Flow Integrity The problem is resolved. All three must be off.

    Besides the fact that it probably is spam or someone who does not know how to use the internet, It is nice to know that lastpass is indeed supported as far as encryption of keystrokes when you enter your password via the browser extension. lol at his name AlertBetaTester

    Yes - tested it myself. I was thinking though of did you ever run (do scan) with HMP program before installing HMPA?
    There is also the possibility of a conflict with other security software you have listed. (WSA, MBAM Pro & Comodo)
    HMPA/HMP and MBAM I have used together in testing without issue, but not tried other 2 apps.
