Hitman Pro 3.6.0.138

Nowadays, viruses have become the main threat for the security of computer systems because they are becoming more and more advanced and it's harder to remove them. Antivirus programs are numerous and every one of them pretends that it can remove every type of virus or spyware, but in reality they don't behave as expected and they don't remove viruses properly, giving the user a false sense of security. A software that can truly and efficiently deal with viruses, malware, spyware and other types of threats is Hitman Pro. The software can scan for malicious files and can compare unknown ones with the cloud scan, ensuring the user that every threat will be correctly identified.

The software is not difficult to install and can be run from any version of the Windows operating system, like XP and Windows 7. Besides that, it takes up little hard disk space and requires less system resources than other similar programs.

The interface of Hitman Pro has a pleasant graphical aspect and can be used by any type of user. When running the program, one can simply click on the next button for starting the scan or he can customize this process. The software can be scheduled to scan the computer at certain intervals of time or when in idle. During the scanning process, all malicious files found will be displayed in a list, in real time, together with some information regarding them, like the path, the type of threat and the level of danger.

Hitman Pro cannot be set to scan a specific folder or partition, it can only scan the default paths where viruses and malware are usually found. At the end of the scanning process, one can choose to delete all the files or only some of them. Unfortunately, the trial version doesn't allow the removal of viruses. A report window is displayed after the scanning is over, displaying some information like the total number of files scanned, the number of malicious files found, the scanning time and so on.

Pros:
It can detect numerous types of viruses and malware without needing definition files, by using the cloud scan. Besides that, it features a simple interface that anyone can use. Furthermore, it includes a lot of options for customizing the scanning process. Last but not least, it displays information regarding every infected file found, letting the user know how dangerous it is.
