HMP wouldn't be my only malware removal tool. There are other removal tools available, which i would run in addition. To be sure that there are no Remnants.

 

Like your image backup?

 

yes, restoring a backup is also a solution

 

Can you share how large is one system image of yours? 30GB or 40GB? Do you store your system images in your PC/laptop or on an external HDD/SSD?

You sure you are not performing "snapshot" imaging(like Windows restore points) hourly?

Thanks

 

Incremental imaging takes little space, probably less than 1GB.

 

So is that considered as "snapshot" imaging like the restore points in Windows rather than system imaging?

Thanks

 

Hi

I'm interested to know because I would like to compute the storage space requirements for images. My tablet's internal SSD is only 256GB

So is yours a total system image hourly backup? My Windows-only system image is about 35GB. So if yours is about the same then for hourly system imaging(not "snapshot" here") it would be 280GB for say 8 hours of operation. And for 14 hrs operation that would amount to 490GB of storage space, right? Which means to say I'll need to store my system images externally with a SSD/HDD always connected. An external SSD/HDD of 512GB would suffice just for this purpose.

Thanks

 

Thanks for the info

 

Nite- My suggestion is that you buy and install a secondary traditional drive (it's really easy to do) for incremental images as well as an External drive also to save a Full image. Traditional drives are very cheap and you will have the peace of mind to have the space for images as well as space consumptive applications. The external drive should only be connected for the purpose of saving an image to it. With these in place you will be able to sleep at night.

Boredog- yeah, that was from my (very) brief modeling career (if memory serves it was used by someone in the Midwest for God knows what); but mostly I did leg shots for shoes. I had my agent draw up a contact where although I was paid peanuts I got to keep the product (and one can NEVER have enough shoes in the closet!).

 

Thanks. I'll stop here since this is a HMPA thread

 

A late, long-overdue update to whitelisting corporate apps/incidents in the Sophos Central Advanced endpoint product, with InterceptX (HMPA tech):

Only while it's detected as a current incident (sometimes the false alarms go away after x hours) can you go into System-Settings then global exclusions and then under Exclusion Type: DETECTED EXPLOIT

Was kind of obtuse and Sophos Support didn't know at the time either.

 

same here. If iTunes isn't excluded, the Desktop (not the whole system) freezes after playing 1 song when it goes to the next.
If iTunes is excluded the same behavior occur when it's closed again or minimized (w/o Taskbar Player).

Theres also a freeze when importing Audio Discs.
Specs: Win 1703, HMPA 3.6.4 b588, G Data 25.3.0.3 (w/o Exploit Protection enabled)

 

That might actually be the case on my system as well: foobar2000 kept playing MP3 (I did not wait long enough to see whether it would only finish the current file, or also play a new one).

 

What other security software do you have installed/interacting with HMPA?

 

AntiVirus : Emsisoft
AntiMalware : Malwarebytes and Zemana ~

 

To people using HMPA with other security softs, please add the others soft's processes to HMPA's exclusions and HMPA to the soft's exclusions. It solves many issues. HMPA inserts its dll in every processes which can be redundant and may "conflict" in various extend with the other softs, especially if it also insert dlls.

 

One one PC: Emsisoft Internet Security
One another PC: Microsoft Windows Defender

 

+1

 

...and we can criticise whatever testing procedure we like and call it irrelevant as we see fit.

 

...and nobody said that CS couldn't test as she likes obviously.

 

Curious...do you use Zemana live or only on demand?

 

I also have both MBAM and ZAM installed, but both on demand only.

However, the problem still occurred with MBAM uninstalled (did not experiment with ZAM).
