[viel]

Hi,
Title says it all

Thanks so much for your time!

Both are good products from reliable companies.

Which one would you use?Which is the best?

 

[enaph]

HMP is good on demand scanner for everyday use.
NPE is more aggressive against infected systems.
Still, you can use them both.

Isn't Norton stubborn to uninstall itself when told to do so? Does it not leave ALOT of files behind?

I never encountered such behavior from NPE.

HMP has saved me many times,so that is my choice.

 

[tonibalas]

As i see you don't have a problem of buying Hitman pro.
Then my suggestion is to buy HPro and after scanning your system with it you can use NPE to see if anything was missed

NPE is a portable executable.

NPE is more aggressive and can find a lot of things HMP doesn't, but HMP has more engines to scan the samples with.

Avast detected a left over NPE file after Un-installation as Adware, HitmanPro said it was suspicious I deleted them both since I don't need them. Here was the link I got it from, is it legit?Norton Power Eraser | Free Tool | Easily remove scamware that traditional virus scanning can’t detect.

Kaspersky Security Scan?
I answered this question here

short answer: use both or at least HMP

Avast detected NPE as Adware and Hitman Pro found it suspicious I deleted it.
Should I be worried?

I don't have that problem. I'm using avast as my primary AV (with PUP enabled) and I have HMP, zemana, NPE but none of them detect NPE as malware

perhaps you used NPE to quarantine something. Then, avast detected this quarantined file as malware
or you downloaded the wrong program (packed with malware). Downloas from the official website or majorgeeks

No, I do not think so NPE did not detect anything. Avast is on the highest settings high heuristics and aggressive mode.. is this why?

same here but no problem
NPE is from symantec so there is no need to worry
you should remove all the leftovers of NPE and download the official version to replace the current one

I scanned with Zemana,Avast,NPE,HitmanPro and Malwarebytes, and Avast and Hitman Pro thinks NPE is adware, the leftover files after I deleted it were the ones that were accused being Adware and suspicious by Avast and HMP

so it's good
just remove the infected files then you will be OK

I have the same version downloaded from the exact same website but no detection here

Probably false positives, all these happens after downloading NPE
Do you agree that their FP's

probably but I'm not sure because I don't have the file or have the virustotal result to conclude
