HitmanPro antivirus scanner is designed to work in conjunction with the main antivirus. It uses the cloud-based SophosLabs, Kaspersky, and Bitdefender, as well as deep behavioral analysis to find and neutralize zero-day threats
HitmanPro detects, identifies and removes viruses, spyware, Trojans, rootkits and other malware.
The utility uses a proprietary behavioral analysis engine and file cluster expertise, as well as innovative cloud-based scanning technology using SophosLabs, Kaspersky and Bitdefender antivirus databases. The HitmanPro scanner detects and removes potentially malicious threats with minimal impact on system performance.
It can detect malware remnants, has a built-in scheduler, an expert mode, checks for suspicious files using the VirusTotal database (the VirusTotal Public API Key is required), creates a restore point before deleting files, integrates into Explorer context menu, supports proxies and much more.
Hitman Pro is also very easy to use because it doesn’t require any installation at all. It can be run from a USB key or a disk drive of any type and it works in conjunction with any computer protection software without any problems.
It should be mentioned that the tool works with its own engine, behavioral analysis and file cluster expertise. And also uses cloud protection, which performs scanning with the scanners of many leaders of anti-virus software on the world stage: Kaspersky Lab and Bitdefender.
The main features of HitmanPro
Can your antivirus handle the latest threats?
A new source of malware can be found anywhere, even on trusted sites. These threats can use various techniques to evade antivirus protection. HitmanPro is designed to work in conjunction with antivirus protection and uses deep behavioral analysis to find and neutralize zero-day threats – advanced threats that try to avoid detection.
Behavioral detection + collective experience
Instead of using signature definitions to recognize malware, HitmanPro examines each file’s behavior for malicious activity. This approach gives HitmanPro the ability to block the latest insidious malware and viruses before they are identified. HitmanPro also connects to the SophosLabs malware database to detect more forms of new threats and trace their path to the source itself.
Without installation
HitmanPro takes up 12 megabytes and does not require installation. You can run the program directly from your desktop, USB drive, CD/DVD, or remote storage. Even if your antivirus is controlled by malware or encryption software, HitmanPro will work correctly and can detect and remove threats.
Comprehensive recovery
HitmanPro allows you to remove persistent threats entrenched in the operating system and replaces infected system resources with safe original versions, continuing to block attempts at reinfection.
