Could you please explain what means "stopped working"? HM stops perform tests? Or it still performs tests but displays wrong statuses? Or something else?

Regards

What version of Windows and Internet Explorer do you use?
I think reason to this problem some bug in wininet.dll (e.g. resource leakage). Now HostMonitor uses wininet.dll (part of Internet Explorer) to perform URL tests. It works correctly on 99% of systems but has problems on some systems. Soon will be implemented new HTTP test that will work independently of IE.
