How to setup HitmanPro.Alert for Maximum Protection (Guide)

[Peter2150]

Hmm. I don't turn application lockdown off for any process especially my zip programs. That feature is great protection. With it I don't need to be concern if one of my people need to open a zip file that is suppose to be jpg files. If they are jpg's they are fine. But if they are executables in disguise then HMPA shuts them down. I love it.

Already got the answer via support. Added uTorrent in their too, got a BSOD, removed it, now everything is fine.

EDIT: Currently manually added protected apps are MPC-HC, Notepad++, Thunderbird, Outlook & WinRAR. Disabled protections for firefox & also disabled the Keystroke Encryption as they were conflicting with Kaspersky Secure Keyboard.

Outlook should have been added as part of MS OFFICE with the office Template. I did nothing to add them, HMPA added them.

I never saw Outlook added automatically.

I never saw Outlook added automatically.

Outlook is not auto-added; only the commonly exploited programs Excel, Powerpoint and Word are auto-added. That's on the most recent beta. Before that I cannot remember as it is too far back in time.

Hello,
Just looking, and Outlook 2015 is not added on my HMPA 3.6.7 build 604 .
Do you think it's necessary to add it manually for better protection ?

Hi @shukla44
Can you tell us what are the support's explanations for Thunderbird and Outlook ?
Thanks

When I used HMPA, I added Outlook manually, because it is my desktop email client, and it has vulnerabilities that have been exploited in the past.
But I don't do a whole lot of complicated operations with Outlook. I am guessing that some Outlook functions won't work.
Try it out, and see if everything works right for you. If not, you can try disabling specific mitigations for Outlook.

Thanks @shmu26 for your help

Hum
I'm not sure about what is the better mitigation to chose for protecting Outlook 2015 ?

 

[shmu26]

I would choose "Office".

Good point. I could be wrong as it is a long time ago. Also I am on Win 7 with Office 2010

Hi,

We can not guarantee all will work fine, but you can find out .
I would add Thunderbird and Outlook to the Office template and uTorrent to the Internet Browser template.

This was the reply, just ignore the utorrent one as it gave me a BSOD, other than that i am using thunderbird & outlook in office template as suggested. No problems.
