What antivirus are you using?

You're likely infected with malware. Process Hacker doesn't have dialogs like that one and any security software would show a proper message identifying themselves as the source.

Should be easy enough to locate the program responsible.

1) Download System Informer: https://systeminformer.sourceforge.io/nightly.php

2) Run System Informer then run Process Hacker. 3) These icons on the toolbar will locate the owner of that dialog:

Left click+hold and drag those icons over that message window and when you release the mouse it'll select the program showing that dialog and if it's selecting something like explorer.exe or svchost.exe then it's very likely malware responsible.

You could right-click whichever process is selected, open the properties window, select the Threads tab and inspect each thread. One of the threads will be calling user32.dll MessageBox waiting for you to click OK and the stack will show the name of the DLL calling MessageBox and you can select the Modules tab to inspect the DLL.

If you can post the name of the program or the name of the DLL then we can look into what they're doing 👍

not a virus or malware. it was a finance protective program name fasoo drm. it kill Process Hacker the moment it become active windows and leve it be if it is minimal or in task bar. i remove fasoo and it is working now. but i dont know why it stop the program when there is no document that need protective on or why it stop Process Hacker when task manager and OpenHardwareMonitor are ok?

i dont know why it stop the program

You'll have to ask the authors of that program.

Happy to hear it's resolved. Also, as a reminder Process Hacker has been sunset, please use System Informer instead.
