Second Opinion Malware Scanner

If your child is not feeling well and you suspect he or she has a virus infection you're going to visit your doctor. But what do you do when the doctor tells you that he cannot find anything but your child still does not feel very well? Of course, you go to visit another doctor for a second opinion.

This is the same what Hitman Pro does for your computer. Hitman Pro is a second opinion scanner, designed to rescue your computer from malware (viruses, trojans, rootkits, etc.) that have infected your computer despite all the security measures you have taken (such as anti virus software, firewalls, etc.).

Since its through cloud, an internet connection is required.
For advanced users, Early Warning Scoring works offline.

RE: Hitman Pro (Cloud Anti Malware On Demand Scanner)

Recently i also wrote a review regarding it and i must admit you did a great job here. The pros and cons are absolutely perfect. I would like to add few pros and cons along with your set.

Pros:-
1. Since its a cloud scanner so no need of regular virus database updates.
2. Simple, easy to use interface. No complicated settings(novice friendly).

Cons:-
1. No options for deep scan.

Good job
+rep.

Yes,it would be a good option if users could also do a deep scan...but I guess the quick scan will find 99% of the real malware .... Also it would be nice if it would scan for malicious registry key changes.

As a major + , I would like to add the Force Breach Mode.

When your programs fail to start due to a rogue/fake anti-malware infection, just download Hitman Pro and start it while holding down the left Ctrl-key until its window appears. This will instruct Hitman Pro to terminate all non essential processes in the user's context, including the malicious application that terminates any program you want to run.
In this example Hitman Pro is started in Force Breach mode to take out the rogue Security Tool infection.

Good to see that some members suggested more information beside on my final review in HMP. Force breach mode is really useful in case of highly infected state.

Hitman Pro is one of those essentials that belong in my virus removal kit.

HMP's one of the core tools in my Security Setup right now and I can say that it's one of the best Scanners available right now.
