[QUOTE="conceptualclarity, post: 533987, member: 11916"] I have had SpyShelter Premium since the start of July. A couple of days ago I decided to re-install Hitman Pro.Alert full edition. (It had been thrown off my computer a few months ago when ESET got upset over an update.) After I brought back HMPA, SpyShelter began behaving perversely. It blocked the uploading via my context menu of the HitmanPro.exe setup file to the online VirusTotal. It blocked, strangely enough, my use of the bug report option on the SpyShelter GUI. It blocked my opening of my AmazonSmile bookmark on my Maxthon browser. It did all of these things with a notification saying "AntiNetworkSpy: SpyShelter blocks setting hooks for process Maxthon.exe(PID=????)" SpyShelter support told me: That didn't help, to my surprise. I told them: They responded: I added Maxthon to that exclusion list, and things went better for a while. Then I tried to open VLC media player, and I got trouble again, with SpyShelter blocking it. [ATTACH=full]111634[/ATTACH] SpyShelter support said: Well, I can't articulate right now what AntiNetwork Spy Module does, but it sounds useful, and I don't want to disable it. What are hooks and what is hook-setting? I tried my techterms.com and computerhope.com [SIZE=4]Computer Dictionary bookmarks and came up empty. So, also, can someone suggest a better computer definitions webpage? Or maybe a big PDF This is what appears to me to be the main configuration area for Hitman Pro.Alert full edition. I don't know where I can go to deal with HMPA hooks. [ATTACH=full]111635[/ATTACH] By the way, all of these things were enabled by default except "BadUSB" for which enabling was recommended. By default it has "Passive vaccination" enabled and "Active vaccination" only recommended. Are there problems with Active vaccination? I disabled HMPA keystroke encryption because, even with SpyShelter not running, it made my arrow unstable. Any comments on these things from HMPA fans? Any way I can make SpyShelter and Hitman Pro.Alert be happy together? I really don't want to dump either of them, because I have paid for both of them. There is some overlap in their functions, but more difference, I think. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
