I put INT3 breakpoint and starting the program. The OllyDbg break at the breakpoint, but when I step over, the OllyDbg put a hardware breakpoint. (Yesterday not happened in OllyDbg, but today during training it happened.)

ٍEdit : A red square usually occurs when step over, but goes to the next line immediately. But in this call, when i click F8 to step over, the program has stopped and no longer works.

That is The Default Behavior for almost every Debugger.
you might not have noticed it when the Function Returned Quickly
you should always see a red flicker on every F8 (StepOver) on a call

it is an internal breakpoint set by ollydbg /any debugger and handled by ollydbg / almost all debugger

how would a debugger know to stop where after executing unknown instructions inside a call

see a gif for the flicker when doing f8 which executes the return silently
and no red flicker if you step in with f7

enter image description here

if the program stopped working it might have an anti-debugging trick inside the call try stepping in instead of step over of follow the call set a breakpoint deep inside the function and check

  • But, this call works good on windows XP, i mean after F8 on this call, i can step over to another instructions. Today this problem happened, yesterday works well.

  • @Jason. Try deleting the .udd and .bak files that OllyDbg creates when debugging an executable.
