Hitman Pro 3.5.4.81 | 3.48 MB | 3.17 MB

Hitman Pro is a fast all-in-one tool to locate, identify and remove viruses, spyware, trojans, rootkits and other malware. Hitman Pro 3 will quickly show if your PC is infected with malicious software.

Research shows that many computers are infected, even if they have an up-to-date security suite installed, and that a combination of different anti malware programs would be required to prevent infection.

Hitman Pro 3 uses innovative cloud computing techniques to detect and remove potential malware threats with minimal impact on system performance.

Advantages of Hitman Pro

• Recognizes and removes viruses, trojans, rootkits, spyware and other malware.

• Revolutionary innovation in scanning technique to distinguish between malicious and safe software without signatures.

• Short scan time  searches the system within a few minutes.

• No extra system load.

• Impossible to make false positives on important systems files thanks to profiling and whitelisting.

• Multi-vendor identification of malware in our real-time Scan Cloud.

• Automatically restores common system alterations made by malicious software.

• Creates a check point in System Restore before removing malicious software.

• Removes resistant threats using native NT boot-time deleter.

• Removes references to malicious software (like shortcuts and registry entries).

• Free malware scan.

• Free online support in English, German and Dutch.

How does Hitman Pro work?

The Hitman Pro 3 executable can be downloaded and run straight from a USB Flash Drive, CD/DVD, local or network attached hard drive and will quickly reveal the presence of any malware.

It will scan your PC in a few minutes and detect files that are potentially malware using a Behavioral Scan.

The actual identification of these potential malware files is then done on the Hitman Pro servers  the Scan Cloud.

To understand how Hitman Pro 3 works we first need to describe a few fundamental characteristics of malicious software and your Windows PC.

Like everything else, malicious software always has a purpose. The malware writer only wants one thing: money. The traditional virus that cripples or destroys your PC is now quite rare. To make money the virus needs to be run and stay resident on the PC. This way the malicious software can steal your personal data, show pop-ups, or install fake software programs. The software can even turn your PC into a zombie as part of a botnet, using your PC to send spam or be part of a cyber attack. Of course, all this is going on without you noticing anything. To keep doing this, the malicious software needs to start automatically and protect itself from being removed by security software.

On a single Windows PC there are thousands of files with a limited number of these files being executables and associated data files, which have file extensions like EXE, DLL, SYS, etc. They belong to for example a word processor, a spreadsheet program or a photo editing program.

To work properly, the malicious program must be an executable file.

Hitman Pro looks for executables like drivers and other automatically starting software programs. These are active in memory, communicate with the internet and potentially try to make themselves invisible. From an average of 400,000 files on your PC typically only 2000 are interesting enough for Hitman Pro 3 to classify. Hitman tries to determine:

• where a file comes from

• how it got on your PC

• which publisher created it

• what purpose it has

• whether it can be uninstalled appropriately

• if it is visible for the user and through Windows APIs

• if its communicating with unreliable computers on the internet

• if its compressed or encrypted

• if it has anomalies commonly found in malicious software

• what people say about the file on security related websites

These are just a few of the details that Hitman Pro 3 collects, understands and associates. This method is what we call the Behavioral Scan.

Build 81 (2009-12-18)

• Added Quarantine and History functionality under Settings.

• Changed the default action to Quarantine on malware items that are recognized by just one AV partner.

• Malware items are excluded from the scan result list when the item was reported by the user as safe and the item was recognized as malware by just one AV partner. The reported as safe item will reappear when the item is classified as malware by two or more AV partners.

• Fixed a problem handling ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad items.

• Vista laptop computers running Intel(R) Turbo Memory Driver iaNvStor.sys cannot use the new disk access mode to detect and remove TDL3 rootkit. This is due to iaNvStor.sys incorrect implementation of specific I/O control codes. Users who suspect a TDL3 infection should disable this specific Intel driver (the iaNvStor.sys is non-essential) and run Hitman Pro again.

• Hitman Pro build 79 and 80 stopped working when this driver was present.

• Removed the Windows 7 Task Bar integration as it causes random program stops. The issue is still under investigation.

• Updated internal whitelists.
