Investing in Hitman Pro worth it?

[Gangelo]

I have resorted in Windows only built in protection tweaks on all my PC's using Andy Ful's Hard Configurator.
I have been thinking about using a 3rd party scanner for occasional scans (and peace of mind) while leaving Defender to do it's job in the background for real time monitoring.
The only solution that interests me is Hitman Pro. Is it worth buying a 3 year licence plan for my rigs or just use something free like EEK?

You can always scanning all your systems with HitmanPro, only removal files requires paid license.

I won't buying licenses for any on-demand-scanner, instead just using EEK or free others like NPE

Thanks for the reply. I am indeed debating if the cost is worth it.

Totally agree. There are a number of decent options. One could even use WiseVector StopX as on-demand! Ask @Evjl's Rain.

Wisevector StopX seems quite interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

I won't pay for HMP but I would for HMPA

HMPA is the more 'complete' product but it would probably be overkill to install it in a H_C hardened system.

I would like to thank everyone for the feedback, I finally settled with EEK which is tried and tested. I also like that it is actually portable which gives me the ability to copy the whole folder of the application on a stick if I want to scan another system for troubleshooting.

H_C isn't an anti-exploit, so HMPA will complement it (for those allergic to Win10 Exploit Guard).

I see your point but having Windows Exploit guard in use and the system hardened is good enough for me personally. I don't want to add layers upon layers of exploit protection.
I want to keep everything KISS.
