    Hi @Pete8
    I use Kaspersky IS along time ago with HitmanPro.A and no problems.

    There was a Microsoft program called EMET, which I believe was the first attempt to apply mitigations to apps to protect against sophisticated attacks. EMET worked, but it required a lot of tinkering by the user because many applications were not compatible with all mitigations. The advantage of HMP.Alert is a lot of guesswork is taken out of the process; many applications are recognized and configured automatically. HMP.A also includes protection against ransomware, keyloggers, and other malware. As others have mentioned it's not perfect, but I've been using it for years with very few problems. With security software I feel it's always a good idea to take advantage of the trial period. Just run it for a while and see if it's compatible.

    Can you try to disable F-Secure - DeepGuard and see if that solves the issue?

    I would like to know this as well. Since the update to 751 the other day, my browser (Firefox and Vivaldi) freeze during browsing and end task does not help, just rebooting. I tried to disable exploit protection in MBAM and that seemed to work as it did not freeze for a couple of days. I don't mind leaving it disabled, was just wondering if it was an oversight in the 751 build as the 750 ran fine.

    Is there any chance you use Avast?
    If so, see CaptainLeonidasHMPA's and Krusty's recent posts, regarding a recent Avast - Malwarebytes conflict:

    No not using Avast, I have for a while now, only because it was working well with no conflicts, Kis 2019, HMPA and MBAM. I know that this is overkill and that conflicts may arise, but before removing MBAM or HMPA, was just wondering which one is the culprit. As mentioned also, when I deactivate the Exploit Protection in MBAM, all is fine.

    I also turn off Exploit Protection in MBAM; it needs to be off and it seems better to do it manually instead of expecting HMP.A to force it off. By the way Windows 10 now has exploit protection as well (Windows Defender Security Center App & Browser control). I had also turned those options off, but just discovered that they were On again, probably as a result of the last major update.

    Well, it's been a couple of days and turning off exploit protection in mbam seems to do the trick. Although, I'll probably just turn everything off in mbam and just use KIS 2019 and HMPA as I believe the protection should be good enough without MBAM and just run it once in a while as on demand.

    Keyboard Encryption is causing the Chrome keyboard shortcut for New Tab to fail around 40% of the time. I've had to disable it for now as it's not tolerable.

    Has this been posted by anyone yet? Is someone working on a fix?

    Pretty sure Hitman see the activation process of Heimdal as strange, happen only with stable version of Heimdal, and not with RC.

    SAM was unticked @paulderdash

    Do you have Risk Reduction>Credential Theft Protection>Security Account Manager (SAM) ticked?

    If so, untick it.

    It's causing my browsers to freeze at launch as well. Explorer.exe is acting up too. Rebooting temporarily solves the issue. Weird that it affects all 3 Edge, Firefox and Chrome. SAM is disabled. I disabled all mitigations for FF and I can use it now (fingers crossed). It started about the 2nd reboot after the update.

    I just have Windows Defender as my protection. I did disable "Control Flow Guard/CFG" in the Exploit protection settings of WD as suggested by another user when we discussed where Edge froze and crashed upon launch. Post #14978

    Can you try to enable/default CFG again and see if that makes any difference?

    I keep getting this when I start the Brave Browser, I am pretty sure it is a false positive and Brave works fine after I close the alert.

    I'm using 3.7.8 build 751 under Win10 Pro x64. I had no issues with build 750; I'm not sure if that is relevant or coincidental.

    I have a USB switch that I use to switch a keyboard and mouse between my work and home PCs. What started happening after the 751 update was that I'd try switching to my home PC, and it wouldn't work. The keyboard would light up as if it was going to work, then it would go dark before it did. The mouse just stayed dark. No errors, no dialogs, nothing logged.

    But the issue doesn't seem to happen if I leave HMP.A's keystroke encryption function disabled. My first guess was that the "Bad USB" function was causing it, but apparently not.

    Just me?

    Well, it might be just you, but only because that's a pretty unique setup ;) FWIW I've had problems with keystroke encryption interfering with typing; it was making it hard to enter passwords so I turned it off = end of problem :thumb:
