HitmanPro 3.6 Teaser

[jamescv7]

Hello all,

This thread has been quiet for some time. This was mainly due to we have been working on HitmanPro 3.6. A lot has changed internally (compared to 3.5) and a few major features have been added:

Added Scanning for Malware Remnants.
This feature crawls the File System and Registry for common malware related paths (files, folders, keys).
Added Scheduler (hmpsched.exe) to allow scanning Daily, At Startup, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun at specific times.
Added detection for infected Volume Boot Record.
Added detection for files signed with weak Authenticode signatures (RSA 512-bit keys).
See also: http://blog.fox-it.com/2011/11/21/rs...d-in-the-wild/
Added third opinion scan using VirusTotal.
To use this feature you enter your personal VirusTotal Public API Key on the Advanced tab under Settings.
Added chevrons to highlight items in the result list that are running [PID] or start by [Run], [Service] or [Driver].
Reworked several areas of the user interface, including a polished new Logo.
Tons of other stuff ... A more complete list will be posted tomorrow.

That's interesting...
Reminds me of the Metro UI in Windows 8, I love it.

As quoted by the developer.

Do not run this build in a production environment.

HitmanPro 3.6 beta not involve Prevx Antivirus. :huh:

 

[Dieselman]

Prevx has a very large false positive rate. So I agree with Surfright.

 

[Jack]

Hitman Pro has it share of FP but it never flagged a suspicious file for removal , the default action has been Ignore.I've seen some detection from Hitman Pro who were generate only from the PrevEx databse so for me it's a loss in detection.


Here are the direct download links for Hitman Pro 3.6 build 133 BETA:
http://dl.surfright.nl/HitmanPro36beta.exe
http://dl.surfright.nl/HitmanPro36beta_x64.exe


Just downloaded this beta release , and I must say that the new UI looks definitely better :

 

[jamescv7]

Their GUI is really more slicker and like the newly logo. For Surfright they can borrow another engine that can lessen the flagged of FP's.

An explanation by markloman (developer)

Since I am responsible for this, please allow me to explain.

Yes, we have stopped using the beloved Prevx because of the extremely low detection rate of their Prevx cloud, especially on zero-day malware (which is what HitmanPro encounters most, as a second opinion scanner). From our own real-world statistics (detections of malware on over 1 million scanned computers, from January 2011 to July 2011), the Prevx cloud detection had dropped to 7.7% in July.

Of course we made them aware. The main reason for the drop in detection is that the Prevx team was purchased by Webroot and needed to switch their entire focus on building a completely new 'Prevx 4' cloud (for Webroot SecureAnywhere), which is (obviously) not the cloud we are using. Personally, I really love the Prevx team and even though their 'Prevx 3' cloud wasn't helping our users anymore, we kept using it for a few months. But we ultimately had to make a business decision and drop the use of Prevx. Their new 'Prevx 4' cloud is currently not available for third parties.

They use Emsisoft home engine + Ikarus = EAM inside. Very good choice.

Currently Hitman Pro 3.6 is in Release Candidate

Hitman Pro 3.6.0 RC Build 136 (Release Candidate)

This is a release candidate. This means that this build will upgrade an existing installed Hitman Pro 3.5 to HitmanPro 3.6. In addition, the release candidate will update itself to the final (when available), whereas the beta will not. So beta users, please update your executable to this one.
