HitmanPro Review (Chromatinfish's Choice)

[Chromatinfish 123]

Note: Due to the lack of HitmanPro tests, I am using the results of my own test around 3 months earlier, so the score may be altered.

I was surprised that nobody has tested/reviewed HitmanPro yet, I am probably one of the first at MT.

User Interface (5 points)
Hitman "hitmaned" the UI here. It's simplified so even a beginner can use it! Just click Next 'n go! Settings are wholesome, however, for experienced users. Simplified, yet wholesome... Full marks!
UI: 5 out of 5

(Protection/Prevention is omitted due to Hitman being a second-option)

Detection/Cleanup (8 points)
Hitman is very good at this, It scans entire 320GB full HDD in 10 minutes, yet gets almost everything! The new versions use BitDefender and Kaspersky engines while the older ones use IKARUS, Emsisoft, GData, and Bitdefender engines. Now it's improved false positive by making the switch. All PUPs detected too.

What about Scan inside sub-directories/folders?

 

[Anupam]

It's a excellent program.
I don't know how it scans so fast ( may be checks only the file signatures, not sure though). Also it has very very high detection rate.

I don't know how it scans so fast

Currently it is not possible to scan a subfolder of a folder, unless you manually select that subfolder to be scanned via Windows Explorer. Also, for the same reason, you cannot scan an entire partition other than the Windows system disk.
