    HitmanPro and HitmanPro.Alert are activated with the same license.

    Build 143 is running problem-free on my Windows 7 x64 machine.

    Is there a type of security program that might conflict with or duplicate some actions in HMP.A?

    MBAE and EMET do similar exploit mitigations, though not exactly the same.

    You can click on the Trial License button to trial HitmanPro.Alert.

    If that button is greyed out you already enjoyed a free HitmanPro trial. In that case contact me via PM if you want to test all Alert features :thumb:

    Erik,

    I sent you another CrashDump for HMPA that I had. BTW, is 1.43 supposed to auto-update? It never did for me.

    Also, I have a feeling that HMPA is interfering with the boot process on Win7. It only happens randomly, but my system sometimes ends up with a black screen and a moveable or frozen mouse pointer and the only way out is to hold down the power button. The event log shows a bunch of app crashes starting with winlogon.exe, EvtEng.exe, RegSrvc.exe, ndassvc.exe, conhost.exe, svchost.exe, etc. All the crashes are Exception code: 0xc0000005. These all happen before I kill the machine. It may be something else, but this happens on two different machines with HMPA running. I have the dumps of the system app crashes. Maybe something in those dumps might be related to HMPA

    Anyone else seeing these black screens on occasion after booting their system?

    Did you add Macrium Reflect to Alert? if so, so NOT enable Application Lockdown. We are working on a manual that describes which type of apps should have Application Lockdown enabled and which ones should not.

    Very good decision. I avoid SW that makes it difficult to re-install a license. It shouldn't matter how many times I re-install as long as it's on the same machine. Transferring a license to a new machine is fine and is understandable.

    Lockdown locks down the application (prevents starting downloaded PE files and limits access to autorun locations). Some applications do not like that. As a rule of thumb, only set Application Lockdown on internet facing applications.

    You can add it to OTHERS, but make sure to untick Application Lockdown on Macrium Reflect.

    What logs do you mean? Do you want me to cut and paste the info for each ReportQueue file?

    Build 143 was only released past Friday. We do not immediately update all users to a new release candidate as it may contain unforeseen bugs. Since its been a few days and no show stoppers have been reported I have just now enabled the updater on build 141 so it updates to build 143.

    Yes. Send me a PM (or email) with 2 or 3 from those crashes. Would like to see the Winlogon crash.

    What's in the HitmanPro Alert ~ "reports" folder. Noticed files (unreadable) before over install w 143. Now "reports" is empty.
    Where can I find an explanation re Passive vaccination v2 vs Active vaccination v3
    Why does Risk Reduction have a Disable mode. Why would I need / want to disable Risk Reduction ?
    What's the difference between Disable Mitigation and Remove Mitigation.
    What plans for a Help File ~ Maybe a descriptive function of the protection modules.
    What plans to add encryption to Office ~ Notepad / WordPad / ?...or, encryption is just for web facing.

    Except that EMET lets me add any executable I like, while Alert doesn't let me protect certain applications I would prefer to protect, such as PDF X-Change Editor, VSO Downloader, etc. Perhaps Directory Opus too? Can't remember as I don't currently have Alert installed. I do remember that several EXEs I have configured in EMET were off-limits to Alert.
