Publisher's Description

HitmanPro is a fast all-in-one tool to locate, identify and remove viruses, spyware, trojans, rootkits and other types of malware. The executable can be downloaded and run straight from a USB Flash Drive, CD/DVD, local or network attached hard drive and will quickly reveal the presence of any malware. Hitman Pro uses innovative cloud computing techniques to detect and remove potential malware threats with minimal impact on system performance. A further benefit of this technology is that you need never again download definitions on a hourly / daily basis as this is all managed in the cloud further reducing the impact on your PC. Hitman Pro will work alongside any existing anti-virus/anti-spyware or security suite and can be simply run whenever required to give a second opinion or be called upon to remove threats missed by your existing software. Scanning your PC is free for the life of the product and in addition removal of malware is also free for the first 30 days, thereafter, users can take a paid for subscription to cover malware removal in the future. The innovative Early Warning Scoring (EWS) technology allows users without internet to remove potential malware - no subscription required.

I pay for my AV & Anti-Malware & used Hitman & subscribed but all it ever found it found were FP's & caused far more grief than assurance. -

But to see what's changed I installed & ran it today - It found 'Ad-muncher' as suspicious - Nothing else just a well known unmodified program -

From the risk log Hitman produced -

That's why I stopped using it & it seems little has changed, I have yet to see Hitman being used in any mal-ware removal guide. Get (buy) a decent AV, buy the full version of Mbam - Sorted - Add to that you get no discount for loyalty & no reply to the email asking why.

Previously I left a less than perfect review for this software, indicating that it was pretty worthless considering. Strangely, my review no longer shows up. So here it is again. Worthless. Only goes after "incidents" that are already widely known and have removal procedures in place.

Avoid. and -1 for removing my previous review... would that be to artificially boost the overall score? Who knows.

Due to using sigs from a variety of sources the chances of FP's are high. I did have a subscription but I was surprised on renewal there was no discount for current users & as it found many FP's while I was subscribed so I found it was more trouble than it was worth ~

installed OK No bosd (windows 7 pro sp1)

i found the interface basic and options menu cleanly laid out
scanning was fast and dected a few cookies and it did not like pdf suite this being a legit program and not a virus as it claimed .... and as for wanting Then it wanted £17 pounds to remove the the i terms ..
it was difficult to quit the program and and to resort to CTRL ALt DEl

would be nice to have a trail peroid to full test the program its a beta and should be freeware walst in beta

Hitman failed to clean a Root-kit/Boot Virus on my sons PC. it found them but was unable to clean, in the end the FREE Norton Malware Remover cleaned it after a reboot. I won't be renewing my subscription to Hitman as it failed on the one time it was needed. A wasted £17 for my son.

Also neither did Eset Smart Security remove it. Super Anti-Spyware v5 didn't even find it & Trojan Remover never found it either. I was very surprised Malwarebytes could not remove it. The free Kaspersky Malware removal tool also failed to either detect or remove it. All were run in safe mode as well as in Windows. Glad I use NIS now. An interesting learning curve.

All were run legally.

Now has Force Breach. Just hold the Ctrl key while you start up the program and it will terminate all the non-essential (unwanted) processes.
