HitmanPro (30 day trial) VS MalwareBytes 3.0

[viel]

Hello,
My premium trial for Malwarebytes is done in 2 days and I am thinking of the 30 days trial of HitmanPro.. I might buy it!

Should I keep the free version of Malwarebytes 3? or should I get the free version of HitmanPro? Which one is better?

Thanks!

PS: If I cannot afford the HitmanPro Paid version I WILL get the free version of Malwarebytes 3!

Hitman Pro, by far.
Malwarebytes free becomes an on-demand scanner once Premium runs out, and it's not a good scanner unless you want to get rid of PUPs

Alternatives other than Hitman pro to Malwarebytes free?

Alternatives other than Hitman pro to Malwarebytes free?

Emsisoft Emergency Kit, Norton Power Eraser, Zemana Anti-Malware (includes realtime protection)
first two are free and on-demand scanners, Zemana is paid and has realtime.

I would not aim at just buying HitmanPro. You should look into HitmanPro.Alert. Comes with real-time protection, anti-exploit, Online Banking Protection, Keystroke Encryption and other features as with on demand HitmanPro scanning.

Best option HitmanPro.Alert.

only closed beta has realtime protection, current stable builds are only anti-exploit.

If you cant afford HMP then just consider Zemana free for on-demand scans... if you can afford it buy HMP.A but wait for the stable release of version 3.7, its anti-malware is quite good.

You can also try Sophos Home Premium for free. It seems to me that features from HMP.A are included in this Premium Beta.

zemana is your best bet. personally i would recommend zemana over hitman pro.

zemana keeps having giveaways, if you are lucky you might get an annual subscription for free.

sophos home is good undoubtedly but with sophos home there is nothing you can do from the computer it is installed on.

for the settings you will have to login to the my account page on the sophos website.

malwarebytes is way too over hyped in my opinion.

i was testing a ransomware which was right away blocked by windows defender & also flagged by zemana but malwarebytes gave it a clean chit

If you are not going to spend money, HitmanPro is a much better scanner.
If you are going to buy one of those, HitmanPro has no real time protection, so I have to say Mbam is better even though I dont like it in its newer versions.

or buy Hitman Pro Alert and wait for the beta version to be pushed to stable with Real-time protection

Yes, its probably the best option.
