Hi again, quietman7!
One of the developers, markloman replied, and from his full reply, I quote:
HMPA doesn't make false positives. It's by design. It prevents ANY program from altering the master boot sector (MBR). This prevents attackers from wiping your machine...
Thank you very much for the help! The issue has been successfully resolved!

Hi All
Is it a bad idea to run this and cryptoprevent at the same time?
If so, why?
Thanks

No.
CryptoPrevent is a security tool that writes 200+ group policy object rules into the registry in order to prevent executables in specific locations from running. CryptoPrevent can be used to lock down any Windows OS to prevent infection by crypto ransomware which encrypts personal files and then offers decryption for a paid ransom. CryptoPrevent artificially implants hundreds of group policy object rules into the registry in order to block executables (*.exe, *.com *.scr and *.pif) and fake file extension executables in certain locations (i.e. %AppData%, %LocalAppData%, %userprofile%, %programdata%, Recycle Bin, Startup Folder) from running. Due to the way that CryptoPrevent works, it protects against a wide variety of malware and ransomware. There are several levels of protection but most users only need to use the default setting - "Set it and forget it" protection. The Free Edition allows you to manually check for updates regularly by using the update function inside the program. CryptoPrevent Premium offers automatic updates to the program and definitions, email alerts, and customized prevention rules for a one time low price.
