[QUOTE="plat, post: 1023256, member: 74969"] What kind of "residue" are you referring to? Malware remnants? Remnants left behind when uninstalling other software? On-demand scanners like HitmanPro generally have no real-time capabilities so they're sitting dormant until called upon. It's true that HitmanPro has the BitDefender engine but that shouldn't have any bearing on the behavior of other software, unless possibly if you're running a HMP scan at the same time BitDefender is. When I had HitmanPro on this system, it never interfered with anything, certainly not Firefox. So I don't know what to make of your experience w/BitDefender's support. [/QUOTE]
