HitmanPro.Alert 3.8.13 Build 901 Released:

Changelog (compared to build 899):

• Fixed more compatibility issues between process hollowing and certain games.
  
• Fixed an issue with three CryptoGuard 5 Thumbprints that were not working in the previous build.
  
• Fixed a potential security issue where specifically crafted malware on the machine could craft and manipulate a file structure to elevate privileges.
  
• Improved compatibility of CookieGuard with browsers that are attached to the Office mitigation profile.
  
• Temporarily disabled the fix that detects Cobalt Strike delivery over SMB. The fix appears to be incompatible with many game launchers that actually perform main thread hijacking.
  
• Temporarily disabled system-wide Syscall mitigation as certain third-party security products, like Cylance, actually attempt to bypass API calls by directly jumping to kernel functions via a syscall.
  
• Temporarily set CookieGuard's Remote Debugger Port detection to silent as it causes issues with some web developer machines.
  

We'll first upgrade 899 users, as they where affected by the above issues, if that is looking good we'll enable the automatic update for all users of HitmanPro.Alert.

Beware though, we no longer support or update HitmanPro.Alert builds running on Windows 7 RTM (no service pack), Windows Vista and Windows XP.

This is because Microsoft mandates the use of SHA-2 to sign our code. These older versions of Windows only support SHA-1 and would not allow our new driver to load.
