Hi!

Could somebody confirm that HMPA doesn't detect automatically Chromium browser as a browser app and doesn't add it automatically to protection apps list? I have downloaded stable build https://github.com/henrypp/chromium....0.2785.116-r403382-win64/chromium-nosync.exe from the official site http://chromium.woolyss.com/
Of course, I could easily add Chromium to the list manually, but maybe it was just a derp and normally HMPA detects Chromium as a browser?
HitmanPro.Alert detects all browsers that register themselves as a browser in the operating system.
If you are running the browser as portable, then you have to add it manually via the blue tile.

Please let me know if this helps.

Hmm, I used installer version, not the portable one. As I remember, Windows has detected this browser autimatically and set to default browser. If you can, please install Chromium from the link that I've shared and try itself. That's the latest official stable build.

Please point me to the download you used. Then I will test it.

If you reset the settings in Alert the Software Radar will pickup the application.

We are investigating why the Software Radar is not picking up Chromium. Might be a timing issue.
