Hitman Pro Support and Discussion Thread

After looking at your application its a Yahoo Chat device, if its anything like some of the other IM's spyware goes with the territory. I used to use the MSN Messenger until i started receiving Malware in the chat window, before clicking on the link i would email the "friend" it was supposed to be from they knew nothing about it..

I just had hmpshext.dll crash on an XP system when I tried copying a file from one folder to another in explorer.

I am running v3.6.0 Build 138.

This issue appeared to have been fixed, but it has come back.

The only thing that has changed is I did update MS Critical Updates today.

 

I just got mine and no problems

 

What version of the hmpshext.dll do you have (its in ProgramFiles\HitmanPro)?

 

Interesting.
It's 1.0.0.1.
Most recent version is 1.0.1.1, isn't it?
I don't know why I still have that older .dll?
I can just copy it over from my other machine, which does have the newer version, and probably fix the issue, you think?
Edit in: Done. Pretty sure that fixed the crash. Thank you, Erik.

 

When you went to 138, the update was/got borked and it did not replace all of the files it should have. This happened to me too. My guess was the file did not get updated because I had the problematic option turned off at the time of the update.

Makes sense to me, Al.
Thanks

 

I also found that updating to 3.6 that it didn't remove hitmanpro35.sys in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers Folder so I had both 35 and 36 and I just deleted the obsolete one! What else is still hanging around Erik?

Right you are, TH.
I just erased the 3.5 driver.

 

Cool!

TH

 

Yes, same here.

 

Yes, the MS Updates installed today had nothing to do with the little issue I ran into.

 

Yes, I also had drivers from 3.5 and 3.6, but they are the same 1.1.4.0. Is this correct?

 

and same hash

 

Hi

Any Infos about it for the update from 3.5 to 3.6 via the internal updater

 

Not yet but its coming.

 

Can you say when its coming

 

When the translations are complete. No firm date yet, sorry.

 

I just blogged about the German call for a nationwide DNS check. But the provided software fails to scan/repair the DNS server settings

Follow-up: Regarding posts 3750 thru 3761, which discussed Agnitum's use of a suspicious installer that was being flagged by HMP and a few other scanners, I did contact their support. After more than a month of email exchanges, I received the following from Agnitum support:

 

I think it would be great if an option could be added to perform right-click scans in EWS mode.

 

Erik,

Scan at Startup used to wait 24 hours before doing the next scan. Now it scans every time you logon. If I choose daily I have to set a time. Can you add 'at Startup' to the around: drop-down selection in addition to the times?

That way, one could choose daily or weekly etc. at Startup

I tried daily and selected a time earlier than my local time and the scan does not kick in if the time has been passed. I did this on XP. I'll try later on Win7 and report back.

Al

 

If you set it at Daily (or a Weekday) then the scheduler will set the timer at a time in the near future. So if you move the clock backward, or of you set the timer at Daily around 9:00 and it is already 9:01 then the next scheduled scan will occur tomorrow at 9:00. If your laptop falls asleep and awakes tomorrow at 9:30 then the scan will still take place.

Hope this helps.

 

Well, I haven't seen a scan since I set it to daily and 8:00AM. It has been a few days now. I usually logon around 11:00AM or so. It doesn't seem to be working on my system. I checked the scheduler and there is no entry there, so I assume the running HMP service is supposed to take care of that.

You see the hmpshed.exe process in task manager?
