If SpyHunter is blocking some or all of your applications, it is most likely that you have added legitimate applications to SpyHunter’s Process Guard and/or Registry Guard lists of blocked items.

The Process Guard and the Registry Guard need to learn the operation of your computer in order to fully protect you against future infections. If you block an action from a legitimate application using the Process Guard and the Registry Guard, the legitimate application will stop working.

The Process Guard and the Registry Guard must learn all the legitimate applications present in your system. When an application program is executed in your system, it usually requires several different process and registry calls for that application to launch. SpyHunter will pop up a message for every process and registry call and ask you if you want to block it.

Therefore, you need to answer all the questions carefully to avoid blocking items incorrectly. When you answer a question from the Process Guard or the Registry Guard, SpyHunter will record that action and it will no longer ask you the same question again.

If you’re not sure whether you should allow or block a process, please look at the manufacture of the file trying to be executed. If the file belongs to a well known company such as Microsoft, Google, Symantec, McAfee, Apple and etc., you can allow the process to be executed with confidence. If you notice the file does not have a specified manufacture, we highly recommend you to block that application.

If you block an action and one of your programs stops working, you can always use the instructions below to remove them from the Process Guard and Registry Guard blocked list.
