The file "kprocesshackers.sys" was no longer blocked after disabling Avast's 'Self-Defense module', so then you could run the program without error after disabling that attribute.
However, just recently it's found that now you can no longer run ProcessHacker.exe freely again, and not only that
but now you cannot run ANY program with privileged/administrator access! That is ANY PROGRAM will not run as Administrator! An 'OK' error box states "the extended attributes are inconsistent".
So this problem has now become progressive, suddenly, somehow! So, there remains no other choice for the user BUT to
disable Avast Shields for 10mins or so... not only to just complete a simple task but now they also risk their system from suddenly or violently crashing with the infamous blue screen of WTF!
So shopping an alternative AV now after 10+ years, not because of a missed virus infection, and not only because of this AV taking full control of a PC and dictating the terms of production and work... but because you're simply forced to now comply to these unpredictable standards of an ever contradicting industry of alleged 'safe', 'secure', 'free', 'technology'.
My time is
certainly not 'free', my 'identity' and 'privacy'...
certainly not free.
Certainly nothing is secure with this dictatorship, and with this type of technology obviously we're at great odds.
Maybe there's a smarter competitor out there for windows OS, one that has a little more sense than this circus of dictating clowns! Or maybe even better? Of course, I always knew this was a simple case and just a matter of time to shift away further from the generation-circus of clowns. But maybe it's time to go commando about this too, as stated earlier.
