Security issue with cmpro
« on: 24 April 2016, 23:32 »

Hello,

For several months this error occurs. Alarm Extreme Security Zone detects a threat during corretion my set MAME. While ZoneAlarm disabled, it closes the CMPro process and deletes the executable!

This happens as well with the 32 or 64 bit

The progrmme became unusable for me !!!

Here is a screenshot of Zone Alarm Extreme Security

What have you done to get here ???

False positive. Zonealarm is wrong, as long as you've downloaded cmpro from the official page.

this may be a false positive but the program is unusable and is deleted even when Zone Alarm is closed and disabled!

This was not the case before, why is it now?

EDIT: I download ALWAYS CMP on the official page!

"It is now" because your ZoneAlarm program reports a false-positive alert and removes the cmpro executable.
So either try to update ZoneAlarm's signatures or use a different security tool.
It's more than common that security program's file signatures produce false positives....usually they get updated after a while

I would not change protection system because I pay for that.

Even putting the directory of CMP exlusion, Zone Alarm removes even when the executable.

My updates are every 2 hours.

I do not know myself too much in C ++ but can you change some type of access to the file (or other) and it sounds too aggressive for certain protections?

Again: It's not cmpro's fault but ZoneAlarm's. They need to update their signatures.
It's very common that anti virus and firewall tools produce false positives...there were even cases where such tools killed MS libs due to bad signatures so that they (partly) killed your Windows OS....

All you can do is to wait till ZoneAlarm updates its database (normally you can provide them information about false positives) or use a different tool.

If it doesn't work for you since 4.022 (2015-08-29) anymore than ZoneAlarm is most likely not able to work fine with Visual Studio 2015 compiles....Can't tell since I don't know anybody who's using ZoneAlarm in the last 15 years or so

I use Zone Alarm for over 10 years and it is only recently that this happens hence my question. I suspect that seen not your fault; I thought you would be a solution (even temporary)

How can I do to inform Zone Alarm? Provide them your binaries and your sources of CMP for they analyze things?

Thank you for taking time to meet me, I know I'm annoying lol
