    According to these alerts from Zemana anyway. Yesterday i got this one around the same time WSA asked me to type in my password to allow a "supposed" malware www

    Fair enough i thought, but out of curiousity to see what happened, i clicked BLOCK, but did NOT create a Rule. WSA accepted my PW & i perused the www with no ill affects. So i "presumed" the Zemana alert was for "something" else & the timing was "perhaps" a "conincidence!

    On booting up this evening, with no internet conection, i received a Different WSA KL attempt from Zemana.

    Once again i clicked BLOCK, & did NOT create a Rule. A few seconds later the alert reappeared, & i did the same.

    As soon as went online i now got this alert !

    WSA updated yesterday to V8.0.2.20, & before this i don't recall having the same issues. Any clues why these should now be occurring ? I'm "presuming" it's related to the update ?

    Nothing that significant has changed in the last update - these are just FPs from Zemana. WSA has to inject code/monitor keystroke reading to protect the system.

    Funny thing though, before the update i didn't get the Inject alert ?

    It's probably just because the hash changed from it being a new version.

    Hi CloneRanger,

    FWIW, I am running ZA, but I have WSA allowed, automatically, so I guess that is why I don't get those popups. ;)

    Hi, thanks for your reply :)

    I found that i had allowed CI from an earlier version after all !

    So PrevxHelp is correct :thumb: it's due to a new Hash value ;)

    Still watching out for the KL alerts, none today, so far :thumb:
