[QUOTE="Windows_Security, post: 663428, member: 50782"] Mwahh somewhere in between the point of view of Peter2150 and Cruel Sister. HitmanPro was launched as an heuristics/forensics scanner using cloud blacklist data base. Svchost connects out all the time. So HitmanPro is simply not designed to catch a botnet using the credentials of a legit application, when this application (svchost) behaves like a botnet itself.So I am with Peter2150 on this video: it shows me that water is wet. When you look at the Sophos website for HitmanPro it is the has emerged from heuristics/forensics to "[I]advanced behavioral technology with deep scanning to find and eliminate zero-day, next-gen malware that has avoided detection[/I]." Using this marketing claim HitmanPro should detect the detection avoiding trick using the credentials of a legitimate process. So I am with Cruel Sister on this video: it shows me that the Sophos take over of Surfright injected a lot of hot air into HitmanPro's capabilites. [B][COLOR=#ff0000]So for me a draw: what is your take on this? [/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
