HitMan Pro; Cloud and 5-engine Supremacy

[Gnosis]

So with its cloud and 5 engines, is HitMan Pro as good as any on-demand scanner out there at finding definite malicious infections thus resulting in few or no false positives? Is it going to find the same hard-to-detect malware that KBRD will?

Forced breach mode is a bonus.

HMP free is very good, as good as the engines can be but it doesnt worth to pay for removal; better download each engine separately if possible. most of them are free (EEK has 2 of 5 HMP's engines, Dr Web is free if my memory is good, etc...) and you will have the removal capacities.

not saying that if you reformat your computer more than 5 times, you lost the license...

I used HitMan on my sister's PC the other day and the cloud eliminated several line items as potential threats. It seems like they have really cleaned it up. My thought is that it should be the first thing I run on a PC to see if it is infected, granted the PC will operate in regular mode or safe mode with networking. Of course if it will not boot, I have to go with KBRD, or Combofix via USB.
Thoughts?

Actually,Hitman pro have false positives,always...I mean ALWAYS use 'quarantine' option. It actually detected my Driver folder. So I got confused and quarantined it. and my system was not working properly,so I got into safe mode and restored the folder.

So,be careful while using it,it detects a few false positive,but without it..your PC is actually 15-25% less secure
