    Correction @RonnyT : It's partially solved. Currently 1PW7 doesn't start with the PC automatically, so when you click on the 1Password Browser Extension, it wants to start the program. Apparently, this triggers HMPA b739

    Cannot reproduce at all now.

    All I did was hit the disable mitigations button in the app config window, it unticked and greyed out all boxes.
    Then I hit enable again, planning to do some testing but was then surprised it was still ok.

    So simply disabled and reenabling again, it now seems ok. Is odd.

    I was only running some module commands in powershell to install PSGET module, and that made HMPA shut powershell down originally, but now HMPA seems ok with the install PSGET command.

    Are you using Add/Remove software to uninstall?
    Because there is no reason for lockdown to kick in other then that you are running something protected and trying to do the uninstall via the mitigated program normally.

    @anonskii,
    Have you tried uninstalling any program using Windows' common uninstall option?
    Control Panel\ Programs \Programs and Features\ Uninstall or change a program.
    Does that work?
    I hope RonnyT can find out why Comodo Programs Manager and Revo Uninstaller don't work.

    @ Anyone else,
    Does anyone else on Windows 7 x64 have any issues uninstalling programs when using Comodo Programs Manager or Revo Uninstaller, since HMPA 3.6.7 build 739?

    I use Revo, but honestly it's been a while since I've uninstalled HMPA.

    it works fine with the default windows uninstall option but not with third party uninstall programs as it triggers the lockdown migration

    So HMPA works perfectly fine. It does what it should, stop third party apps from tampering the system.

    Have you added the third party uninstallers as a protected application in HMP.A?

    You should see the tick/untick option at the bottom of the 'Credential Theft Protection' panel.

    Thanks, paulderdash.
    @heikwith, in Dutch, for Dutch user interface:
    Klik de oranje "Risicoverkleining" tegel,
    klik vervolgens "Bescherming van aanmeldgegevens",
    haal onderaan het vinkje weg voor "Beveiligingsaccountbeheer (SAM)"
    en klik vervolgens ergens in het lege zwarte gedeelte van de gebruikersinterface.
    Dat is het.

    Thanks for the translation, I found SAM tick/untick option, but I no longer need it.
    Why, I do not understand, but the alert is gone.
    When it happens again, I know how to disable SAM.

    It happens again, with SAM still enabled, but I see something strange:
    Acronis scheduled backup (every 2 hours), which causes the alert, went on normal.
    This happened also yesterday I see now.

    Hitman pro defaults off. If you persist in enabling it you are going going to continue to have problem.

    I can only reproduce this when I manually put Comodo Programs Manager on the Exploit Mitigations, if you chose to do so you have to disable the "Application lockdown" because that is exactly doing what it was designed for.

    No problem with Revo uninstaller here, but no Comodo on board

    Revo does the same if you put it on Exploit Migitation "Other" and you try to uninstall an unsigned application.

    anonskii wrote "most of the programs are protected automatically by HMP.A, i don't touch any of the settings".
    That made me think Comodo Programs Manager and Revo Uninstaller were not manually added to protected applications. But now RonnyT's replies make me think differently.

    That doesn't reproduce here. None of those are automatically added to protections on my setup.
    And application lockdown only happens if the parent process is mitigated, maybe he uses an application launcher that is protected, in that case the child process comodo/revo will inherit the protections and cause similar behavior.

    Yes, that is as I assumed.
    Ah, interesting.
    I hope that anonskii can shed some light on the question whether Comodo Programs Manager and Revo Uninstaller were manually added to protected applications, or whether a protected application launcher is used so that Comodo Programs Manager and Revo Uninstaller inherit the protections and the reported behavior is shown.
