HitmanPro.ALERT Support and Discussion Thread

OK, so it wasn't a problem caused by HMPA or Malwarebytes, perhaps you should reinstall or update, but I'm guessing you already done that.

 

Of course if the malware can't run, it can't bypass AV, but we're talking about a scenario where malware is able to run, via user or exploit. Apparantly, malware can bypass AVs via XOR encryption and direct syscalls.

So the only thing that can stop this, is a behavior blocker that monitors ''direct syscalls'', that's why I wondered if HMPA can block this stuff. iDefender claims that it can, but this should be verified, since a lot of security tools claim all kinds of stuff.

 

BTW, it seems like Sophos missed 5 malware samples in this latest test, are you guys actively investigating these kind of reports? CrowdStrike missed 3 samples, and Microsoft only one.

I suppose what they mean with ''compromised'' is that the security tool could not prevent/detect the infection? I'm not sure how these malware samples ended up on the system, either via user download or exploit.
