Today we release the second Community Technology Preview of HitmanPro.Alert 3. This release bears the version number 3.0.12.73 CTP2.
Release notes
- Added ability to protect custom applications against vulnerability attacks. Users can now use the ‘Running applications’ dialog under ‘Exploit mitigations’, which offers a user-friendly overview of the running applications and the ability to choose and protect applications against vulnerability attacks.
- Added automatic exploit protection for 'Skype for Windows desktop'.
- Added automatic detection of media applications to the built-in software radar. This means that applications that can open music or video files are automatically protected against exploit attacks (e.g. Windows Media Player, VLC media player, etc.)
- Added a notification and ability to restart an application when the user updated its exploit mitigation settings.
- Added ability to remove exploit mitigations from configured applications.
- Added tray icon to summon the main user interface, scan the computer or check for updates.
- Improved detection of uninstalled applications so that they are no longer listed under ‘Your web browsers’ or ‘Your applications’.
- Improved the software radar to also detect 64-bit applications with 32-bit registrations; e.g. WordPad on 64-bit Windows is now correctly recognized.
- Improved detection and blocking of malware downloads initiated from attacker-controlled memory.
- Improved support for the Opera web browser, including Opera Next and Opera Developer.
- Improved compatibility of ‘Active vaccination’ with installed applications.
- Enabled the checkbox to ‘Perform malware scan after installation’ on the Install dialog.
- Solved input lag that occurred in games like Battlefield 4.
- Solved compatibility issue with some 64-bit security software, like Emsisoft Anti-Malware.
- Many small fixes and improvements.
- Values of ‘Number of alerts’ and ‘Last alert shown’ in the main user interface are currently not available, but any exploit detection will be logged in the Windows Event Log.
- Webcam Notifier works with webcams that use the Windows usbvideo.sys driver. Webcams using vendor specific drivers are currently not supported.
- AutoIt applications like AdwCleaner show a warning when started. Temporarily disabling ‘Active vaccination’ in HitmanPro.Alert allows the AutoIt application to run.
- The checkbox ‘Show border around applications’ under ‘Safety notification’ is currently checked and locked on purpose.
- Sandboxie and Norton Security with Backup version 22 (BETA) can interfere with the drawing of the notification border around protected applications.
- Agnitum Outpost Firewall on 64-bit versions of Windows is currently incompatible with HitmanPro.Alert 3.
- Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit is currently incompatible with HitmanPro.Alert, but our Exploit Test Tool is compatible.
