HitmanPro.Alert, now with CryptoGuard

[Dacko]

HitmanPro.Alert 2.5 contains a new feature, called CryptoGuard that monitors your file system for suspicious operations. When suspicious behavior is detected, the malicious code is neutralized and your files remain safe from harm.

CryptoGuard works silently in the background at the file system level, keeping track of processes modifying your personal files. CryptoGuard works autonomously, so no user interaction is required.

To protect your files from being taking hostage, simply download and install HitmanPro.Alert.
CryptoGuard is part of HitmanPro.Alert 2.5 (or newer) and supports Windows 8, XP, Vista and 7 (32-bit and 64-bit).

which one is better hitmanpro.alert or bitdefender tool

 

[imsoadude]

I haven't compared them or tested them I've only seen the video of HitmanPro.Alert, i can say that bitdefender on my system uses more ram approx 10mb while hitman pro uses 7mb so no big difference there for me and also hitman pro has no tray icon while bitdefender does. and lastly hitmanpro.alert is still in beta and from what it looks like bitdefender tool is final. I'm going to wait for test videos before i make up my mind to which i prefer or not.

Most of Bitdefenders products are still in beta, they just label them as final to get your money

I've found previous releases of HMP.Alert to slow down browser loading speed (ie. the time it takes for the browser to open), tested with Chrome and IE.
